| New Tosh Base, Biggest Little Bag, and Fright Club And A Berry Exciting Kit! | | |
It's no surprise just how good knitting is for the heart, mind, and soul. The rhythm of the stitches mixed with a satisfying pattern and squishy yarn makes for a meditative experience that lets you focus on your breathing, counting, relaxing, and grounding! That's why we always reach for a project after a particularly long day. Being able to escape to a world of what we love most always lifts our spirits!
|
If we're ever feeling a little down in the dumps, each needle has inspirational words printed on it, gently reminding us to live in the moment and enjoy the little things! The needles are crafted from stainless steel, so your stitches transfer smoothly and efficiently.
We're now offering pre-orders for items in this collection, including (but not limited to) needles and accessories like a Tape Measure, a Ring Row Counter, and a Needle Sizer! Everything is available in a beautifully soothing color scheme of teal and silver, accented with gorgeous mandalas, which bring a sense of harmony and balance to your next making session! If that wasn't good enough, the packaging is also environmentally friendly, which makes us all jump for joy! After all, mindfulness for ourselves is mindfulness for the Earth!

Okay, we have to admit that sometimes, when we get a new skein of yarn, we take a deep breath to really get all the good smells in - just like we do with new books! New book smell? More like new skein smell! There's something inspiring about the scent, but sometimes we wish it smelled a little sweeter - maybe like a berry cobbler?
Okay, that may be a little out of reach, but we can certainly knit something and bake a berry dessert at the same time, right? That's the exact kind of multitasking we can get behind! It's like you're treating yourself to something sweet (other than the project itself, of course, hehe)!

Fresh outta the Jimmy Beans kitchen, our Bean, Adrienne, cooked up something delicious - introducing the Berry Dessert Shawl Kit! This sweet surprise contains 700 yards of Koigu KPPPM yarn in the shade P405-34, which is a variegated blue skein with pops of dark berry shades and lavender for good measure!
It comes pre-wound in a cake with some locking stitch markers and a darning needle to add to the sweetness, so when you receive it, you can immediately dig in!
|
You will also receive a postcard with a Berry Dessert recipe to coincide with your new shawl as well as a Ravelry download code for the pattern. Please note: If you would like a PDF copy of your pattern sent directly to your email, please contact us at support@JimmyBeansWool.com and our award-winning customer service team will get that squared away for you!

The Mad | Tosh Triple Threat!
They say good things come in threes, right? So there's defi-knit-ely something to be said for the newest Madelinetosh base, TML Triple Twist! We're super excited to share the soft and springy heavy worsted/Aran weight yarn that's here just in time to whip up some cool-weather crafts! Perfect for all types of projects, keep warm when that first snowfall arrives with this 100% superwash merino wool.
Like all Madelinetosh yarn, each skein is lovingly dyed by hand, meaning there are no dye lots. Rest easy because when you purchase in quantities of two or more, the Beans will visually match the skeins for you for as little variation as possible! Madelinetosh TML Triple Twist is a Triple Threat when it comes to its softness, squishiness, and strength! The name TML Triple Twist comes from the structure of three strings of Tosh Merino Light twisted together to make a new weight of yarn that's perfect for all kinds of accessories and garments like cowls, scarves, and sweaters!
Madelinetosh TML Triple Twist is available in a rainbow of shades and works up similarly to the fan-favorite Farm Twist. Each skein is 130 yards of squishy goodness, so the world is your oyster when it comes to color and project opportunities!

Jam Out To This Project!
It's like a whole bakery up in here this week, between the sugar-coated Berry Dessert Shawl Kit and the freshly baked Jammy Dodger Cowl Kit! This kit is a sweet treat for anyone's needles! Keep it warm in your project bag and knit up those sections of brioche for a fresh project (just like baking real bread!).
At least two of our Beans played around with bread starters this week, so it only made sense to take a gander at this beauty! The Jammy Dodger Cowl Kit, exclusively found at Jimmy Beans, is a love note to one of our favorite British baking competition shows! We may not be able to recreate all of the masterpieces they dream up on the show exactly, but we can craft one up in our own medium of choice, right?
|
The Jammy Dodger uses two contrasting skeins of yarn to make an eyecatching brioche garment akin to a scored loaf of artisan bread! Of course, we can't forget to fold in your choice of edging (which we like to call the filling), so we have to ask - raspberry or pear?!
Each kit comes with a physical pattern for the Jammy Dodger Cowl, designed by Miriam Felton, as well as a cute (table) set of stitch markers in the shape of silverware!

The First Rule About Fright Club...
...Is to (grave) dig right into Fright Club!
|
|
The Jimmy Beans 2020 Fright Club project is like the spooky sister to the original, beloved Craftvent Calendar! With a surprise to fill you with fright every day of the month, you will have enough resources at your disposal to make a petrifying project, aptly named Cowl-o-Ween.
Are you a knitter? This project is for you! Are you a crocheter, perhaps? This project is still for you! More like treat-or-treat, are we right? The mosaic cowl pattern is written for both crafts, making this Halloween a real scream!
|
Available in two colorways, Bright and Mellow, you can get into the spirit of the season no matter your preference for saturated greens and purples or autumnal shades of red and orange! Each section of this cowl has a new pattern to figure out, which makes an interesting project that changes just as you get into the groove of things (that's the trick part, hehe!). Keeping you on your toes, Fright Club is here to hone your skills and add a bit of fun to your project bag!

|
Whew! With so many new projects on our needles, we need to stock up on project bags to hold them all! One of our go-to's is the della Q Small Eden Pouch - 115-1 style. Compact yet roomy, this drawstring bag is easy to get into and lightweight enough to carry around, so basically, it's like, the perfect bag for us! Already available in three of the newest della Q collections - Cotton Print, Linen, and Watercolor -- we are so excited to announce the new, limited edition Biggest Little Bag - Reno!
|
Paying homage to our home here in Reno with an artistic rendition of our city (and the iconic Reno Arch!), the Biggest Little Bag - Reno lets you stitch in style and acts as a long-distance hug from us to you (and your yarn of course)! Who needs souvenirs for ourselves when our needles can indulge?
Designed by Connie Peng, this unique della Q drawstring bag is just what the doctor ordered! Capturing the essence of all things Reno, this bag uses minimal colors and shapes to make the Biggest Little City come to life in an artistic way for all of your projects!

Project On Our Needles!
Alex's Summer Secret Crop Top
A lot of us have already switched gears into autumn projects.
Not our Bean, Alex, though. She's fully living her warm-weather dreams by completing her Summer Secret Crop Top! When Alex laid eyes on this pattern, she was filled with an overwhelming need to have it on her needles! Now she's ready for lounging in her garden and reveling in the fact that she is slowly taking the title of Pullover Princess at JBW HQ with her growing collection of sweaters and shirts! With her love for neutrals, the beautiful golden hue of Rye Bourbon by Madelinetosh was the perfect choice!
