| Mad for Tosh Hues, Books, + Shawls The Biggest Little Retreat Is Here! | | |
With all the rain and snow rolling into the Reno/Tahoe area the last few weeks (and even more coming our way), our Beans have been dreaming about taking a warm and yarn-y vacation! Jimmy figured that as the cold dark clouds surround us, we might as well take this time to look towards the bright and sunny days ahead filled with fiber, friends, and fun! Quite possibly a retreat!?!
|
To kick the year off right, we are accepting sign-ups for our 2023 Biggest Little Getaway earlier than ever before!
From September 6-11, get ready to join us for an all-inclusive retreat at the Peppermill Resort in Reno! In these FOUR days you can expect innovative classes, exclusive presentations, one-of-a-kind goodies, and of course, plenty of yarn shopping in our 21,000 sq. ft. warehouse!

Using feedback from previous years, our goal is to make this the biggest and best Jimmy Beans getaway yet! For classes, expect to see some friendly-faces to teach you all the ins and outs of fiber arts. With our new quiet and cozy Maker's Lounge, you can relax, knit, crochet, and connect with your fellow retreaters between activities.
As for meals, we are working with the hotel to create a better dining experience for all!
|
For this year's excursion, expect a fluffy and fun time at a local alpaca farm to learn all about fiber construction and the properties they hold!
Are you in?! We expect the retreat to fill up fast, so do not hesitate to secure your spot!
If you have any questions or need further assistance, you can always email us at support@JimmyBeansWool.com!

When you picture your ideal snow day, what do you imagine? For us it is turning on the fireplace, cuddling with our furry friends on the couch (needles and hooks in hand, of course!), and watching snowflakes falling outside our window while we drink a nice hot cup of tea!

Madelinetosh is starting off 2023 with a Hue of the Moment that encapsulates the cozy feeling of burrowing up at home on a cold day and letting your worries melt away... meet Weighted Blanket! The blend of berry cool tones throughout this colorway bring a sense of peace of mind to our needles and hooks.
Available at Jimmy Beans on the ever-so-squishy Tosh Merino Light and the scrumptious Tosh DK, this beautiful bounty will make the sweetest of sweaters or the homiest of hats!

So Many Shawls!
Is it just us or do you always seem to have at least one shawl on your needles?! We love how wrap patterns are the perfect canvas to try out new techniques and yarn; they really can turn into anything you dream of! Plus, you can wear them all year round, from covering up on a cool spring evening to bundling up on a fall adventure!
To celebrate our love of shawls, we've rounded up some of our favorite patterns from Madelinetosh x Barker Wool, La Bien Aimee, Hedgehog Fibres, and Urth Yarns!

Project On Our Hooks!
Elizabeth's GrandPa Sweater Vest
Have you heard?! The grandpa cozy look is in right now and our Bean, Elizabeth, had to get on the trend! With the GrandPa Sweater Vest Pattern, her hook, and some Madelinetosh Vintage yarn, she created the most adorable vest for the holiday season! What she loves about this piece is that she can dress it up or dress it down depending on the occasion!
