| 2020 Subscriptions, Bouquets, and a Gift Guide!
While it isn't Christmas quite yet, it looks like Santa may have stopped by a little early this year (with his signature red bag filled with goodies, no less)! We're super excited to announce the arrival of our 2020 Jimmy Beans Club Subscriptions! With no list to check (as these gifts are suitable for both the naughty and nice crafters out there - we see you!!), there's enough to go around for everyone!
Before we delve into the new clubs and what they have in store for you throughout the year, it is with a heavy heart that we must bid a few of our current clubs adieu. New years bring new opportunities for growth and exploration, that's why we're saying goodbye to the following clubs: - Jimmy's Crochet Club
-
Jimmy's Knit Club

Deck the shawls with a new bouquet Fa-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la! Just in time for the holidays, our in-house fiber florists have whipped up an absolutely gorgeous bouquet featuring the beautiful Zarya Shawl pattern by Ambah O'Brien! We've been obsessed with her eye for color, shape, and drape (Venation Shawl, anyone?), so we're over the moon with this match made in yarny heaven!
|
Acting like the big sister to the gorgeous Arya Shawl, the Zarya Bouquet gives you two fingering-weight yarns selected in different colors for a stripey, glittery knit to keep you cozy this Christmas. Choose between a white and gold colorway or a black and blue variant. This is like The Dress - you know the one - all over again! Each bouquet comes with all of the yarn you need, exclusive stitch markers, and the pattern required to start your shawl! Featuring a simple lace pattern, dramatically showcasing the color changes, this asymmetrical shawl is perfect for any level of knitter!
|
|
Please Note: This bouquet does not come with the needles required, but we recommend using a US size 5!
We may be a little biased, but this will definitely help us ring in the new year at our next holiday party! Order yours today (or forward this to a certain someone who may be getting gifts for you this year *hint hint, wink wink*!) because there are a limited number of bouquets available and they're sellin' quickly!

What's Better than TINS-el??
So you asked, and so you shall receive! Ever since we announced the Spirits of the Season Craftvent Calendar, we've heard an overwhelming amount of you guys wondering if you could pick up a set of tins for yourselves (minus the calendar), and we're happy to announce that we're finally offering these tins and coordinating metal board a la carte!
Use these bad boys as a new way to organize your craft room and keep your pets out of your things (we understand, cats are ruthless and are never NOT knocking our stuff over, though we can't help but still love them)! Keep stitch markers in one tin and your trusty pair of mini scissors - that somehow always happen to disappear when we need them most - in another! We've even heard that one of the Beans is using it as a hanging spice rack in their kitchen, and we gotta admit - that's a pretty sweet idea!
Each pack of magnetic tins includes 24 magnetic metal tins that sit neatly on a reusable metal, hanging board!
Please note: No yarn or notions are included with this item.

Jimmy Beans Wool Gift Certificates
Sometimes the best gift is one that your recipient can choose for themselves! By grabbing a Jimmy Beans Wool Gift Certificate, you can customize how much you want to give, and how they spend it! Gift Certificate codes are emailed to you upon purchase, but if you would like a physical copy sent to you, please let us know in the extra notes section of your order or reply to your order confirmation so we can get that squared away for ya!

The cold may not bother everyone's favorite ice queen, but if we can order a gift and have it delivered to us so we don't have to step foot in the snow, we're definitely gonna take that opportunity!

Our Favorite Kind of Gift
Growing up has taught us all something very important to keep in mind for the holidays. You can wish for things like a new car, a pony, or a huge T.V., but there's one thing we all desperately want and need. Something that makes us light up with joy when we unwrap them: SOCKS!
|
|
Even though we usually receive pre-made socks, we're even more excited to find a pair that we can knit ourselves (we do it better than any machine could anyway)! Introducing the Urth Yarns Uneek Sock Kit (but this time, make it Christmas-y)! For the holidays, we picked up a new kit of fantastically festive, super-stripey socks from Urth Yarns!
This kit comes with 2 pre-wound cakes of Uneek Sock yarn, a self-striping blend of merino wool and nylon. Each cake makes one sock, giving you a super easy pair of striped holiday stockings without worrying about color changes, meaning you can keep on knittin' and wear them as soon as possible!
Plus, Urth Yarns plants a tree for every kit that's purchased, what's not to love!?

This year, we started a raffle to raise money for a seven-year-old boy named Junior! Junior has acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL for short) and a big wish to go to LEGOLAND. With your support, we surpassed our goal in under 3 days! November marked his last month of chemotherapy, and we're so excited to be able to help him celebrate this amazing accomplishment by granting his wish!
But the giving won't be ending there! We're also thrilled to introduce one of the other wishes we've adopted from the Northeastern & Central California and Northern Nevada Make-A-Wish® Chapter to keep the spirit going strong!

Meet Ayanni, a 16-year-old girl with a wish to feel comfortable in her own skin. Ayanni started her freshman year of high-school just like any other kid - a little anxious about this big step in her life and unsure of how to approach it. One day, she woke up and found a bump that was initially thought to be a bug bite. This bump kept growing, and would later be diagnosed as Ewing Sarcoma.
This diagnosis and following chemotherapy treatments were devastating, to say the least, and while her self-esteem dipped, she never gave up hope.
|
Ayanni's wish is to be able to truly reinvent herself, to go on a shopping spree where she can buy lots of makeup, clothing, and jewelry. High school is already a scary and turbulent time for most, but being able to truly become who she wants to be will help her through it! The art of being a master makeup artist is more accessible than ever, and we're confident we can help her achieve her wish!
To help us achieve our goals, the raffle will be running throughout December, with winners chosen on December 31st, 2019. Each raffle ticket is $5.00 and enters you in for a chance at winning one of 10 loaded prizes (containing bags, yarn, needles, hooks, you name it)! Each prize is valued between $200.00 - $300.00 and will ship anywhere in the world for free. Please note that these tickets are only available through Jimmy Beans Wool and do not produce a physical ticket (your order number counts as your entry or entries). You can purchase multiple tickets, entering you in multiple times.
ALL of the proceeds through this raffle will be going directly to Ayanni's wish.

The prizes for this raffle couldn't have been possible without donations from:
PLEASE NOTE: The metal bin is not included.

Project on our Needles!
Ailene's Zarya Shawl
It's no surprise around here that we love stripes - seriously, we're a little obsessed! Ailene saw this moody blue and black combo and immediately fell in love! Featuring glitter, stripes, and a simple eyelet stitch pattern, she got to knittin' and finished it in time to wear it for New Year's Eve! We're a little jealous because she's gonna be wrapped up nice and cozy for the fireworks and ball drop, but maybe this will inspire us to finally finish up our current projects and get this on our needles!!
You can make this project for yourself with our Zarya Bouquet kit here!
