Great depth of color

Cobalt color in Gist's Beam series has great depth of color & strength. Perfect for warp and weft. At 630 yds per cone, it's a bargain.

True to color

I used this 3/2 cottong to make a window shade. It is beautiful to work with. The colors are true to the website. There was very little bleeding when I washed it. I would say it shrunk about 15% on the gentle cycle with a low temperature dry. I would definitely work with this cotton again.

Strong and soft

I tested several different stash yarns to weave a turned twill baby blanket. I wanted a thicker, washable cotton that will stay soft with use. Beam 3/2 was the best for this project, it holds up to wear and tear and is softer than the 8/4 cottons that I tried.
