| Universal, Cascade, & Amazing Maker Accessories! 220 Superwash But Make It Grande! | | |
As fiber artists, we are inundated with choices before we start a project! From what needles we select to the mountain of colorways and yarn options available, the process of planning can certainly feel SO overwhelming at times! A job we take very seriously at Jimmy Beans Wool is to make yarn-picking decisions a lot easier for our customers so you can get to making sooner (because we know that's what you love to do the most!). Our goal is to recommend yarns we know you will love just as much as we do, which is why we are so delighted to introduce you to two new weights of a fan-favorite yarn we have known and loved for over a decade now, Cascade 220 Superwash!

We recently took a peek inside our warehouse to catch a glimpse (and squish!) of the new Cascade 220 Superwash Fingering Yarn and it is just as we hoped!
Made from 100% Superwash Merino Wool, but as the name describes, a fingering weight! This base is available in a plethora of Cascade's library of to-dye-for hues!

We didn't think it could get better, but it did! Cascade 220 Grande takes your favorite yarn and turns up the volume (errr- weight?!) This bulky yarn carries the famous 220 yards of soft sumptuous strands ready to get going on your next cable or colorwork project!
What we are most excited about for this yarn is the 24 colorways we have available! From heathered hues to stunning solids, we cannot help but envision all of the sweaters and scarves we'll be working up this fall! While it is hard to choose, the colors our Beans have had their eyes on the most are Smoke Heather, Sapphire, and Lavender Heather!

March To The Tune of Offbeat!
Before we know it, we are going to see the leaves change hues and fall swiftly to the ground. There is something so magical about watching the shades of green, orange, red, and brown transform right before your eyes! Just like leaves in the fall, our newest yarn from Universal changes colors as your knit and crochet projects come to life!

Offbeat offers a generous 586 yards of self-striping joy! With a heathered look throughout each ball of this yarn, the 8 dazzling colorways we have in stock offer a way to add subtle bright colors to your fall wardrobe!
Snuggly and soft, this yarn is made from a blend of acrylic and alpaca fibers, making it not only cozy but durable for the rainbow of garments you will be making this fall and winter! Plus, if you or someone you love is allergic to wool, it's a great yarn to prevent the itches and sneezes!!
Our minds are already buzzing about the projects suitable for this yarn. Currently our Beans are choosing between beautiful blankets, statement shawls, and adorable children's sweaters to create with Offbeat!

Imagine this: it's late September, the cool autumn air is finally rolling in and you're sitting on the couch with a warm cup of apple cider, surrounded by some favorite members of your yarn stash, plotting all of the projects you need to get to before the holidays. Fall is the prime season for us fiber artists to break out our needles and hooks, and it's hard to know where to start in our queues!
Remember when we said it's our job to make it easier for you to find yarn?! Well we've been on the hunt for some must-have accessories and notions and we're stoked to share what we have found!
Here's a round-up of our four faves for this month...
|
Gone are the days of waste yarn! Our Beans have been anxiously anticipating the arrival of Minnie & Purl Purl Strings. This hollow cording attaches to the top of your needle so you can simply pull it through your work without missing a stitch.
Available in two color options, each set comes with three of these magnificent cords (two 1 meter in length and one 2.5 meter in length) nestled in a small tin!

|
Sweaters have been on our minds all summer and as we've started to knit them, we can't help but think about how to preserve all of our hard work! Prevent stretching and snagging in the wash with the new cocoknits Sweater Care Washing Bags!
The eco-friendly nylon cylindrical mesh bags come in two sizes to protect the pieces that mean the most to you!
|
Measuring can feel like a bit of a chore, so you deserve a tape measure that will put a smile on your face! You can now pre-order all colors of our Jimmy's Long Tail Alpacas.
Handmade in Peru (and designed by Jimmy herself!), watch these Alpacas' tails grow into a measuring tool fit for your knits! To retract just squeeze their belly and see the tape measure disappear!

Weaving in short ends has never been easier than with Susan Bates Finishing Needles!
The eye runs the entire length of the needle, making it simple to thread yarn of all sizes. In this colorful set of five, you'll find the sizes you need to finish up your project of any size!

Project On Our Needles!
Alex's Newborn Sunday Suit
We're expecting a baby Bean here at Jimmy Beans HQ! Every time we turn around our Bean, Alex, has a new tiny sweater or onesie on her needles in anticipation! How stinkin' cute is this Newborn Sunday Suit she knit up for her daughter's arrival?!? Designed by PetiteKnit, Alex used a skein of Tosh Merino Light in the color natural to make this tiny onesie.
