Yarn

A lot of loom beanies are create with super bulky (6) yarn (like Moda Vera Monkey or Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick ), you will only need 1 ball to make a mans size beanie on  a 41peg loom using the fiber spider pattern), but you can also use 2 x 10ply or 12ply yarn instead  (like 4Seasons Spot Saver USA Style and 4Seasons Marvel Denim Effects)

Loom

Which loom do I need to use?

Women and lean men use the 36peg loom

Men and large women use the 41 Peg loom
