Add to your order
Beam is a foundational yarn—perfect for beginners learning to weave on a rigid heddle loom, but experienced weavers will also find it delightful for twills and color work on a multi-shaft loom. Beam’s bright, cheerful colors make it a natural choice for baby blankets, kitchen towels, placemats, napkins and runners. Soft but strong, this yarn was designed for making functional cloth you reach for every day.

I recently purchased 2 cones of Beam 3/2 in natural to supplement the cone I already had for a project.
The two new cones had yarn that appears loosely twisted and without the smooth yarn sheen of the cone I already had on hand.
I decided to warp up the towel pattern I planned anyway with the new yarn and found several weak spots in the yarn as well as spots with small bundles of yarn clinging to the yarn length. One of my warp threads broke at a weak spot as I was packing the beam and continues to be an issue.
I have used Beam 3/2 for many projects and have 8-10 colors currently on hand. I have never seen a quality issue in the past and was disappointed with these cones. In the pics attached, the two cones show my initial purchase several months ago on the left and the new purchase on the right. I also included a pic of the yarns laid out lengthwise with older at the bottom and newer at the top.
Hi Alice, thank you for sharing your experience. We are so sorry to hear about the inconsistent yarn quality. We appreciate you letting us know and will discuss this with the mill. If you ever run into anything like this again with any of our yarns, please reach out ASAP so we can try to rectify it.

The color is lovely

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.

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.
