| I ordered the Panda Cotton to make some children's socks and am pleasantly surprised at how well it knits up. It has some elastic in it, so you have to be careful with the tension when knitting. The colors I ordered were just like what shows in the pictures on the website. The Strawberries and Limes colorway is very bright and cheerful, and the Picnic colorway is very pretty and perfect for little girl's socks. That was nice. It's so hard to tell sometimes what you're going to get ordering online, but this website seems to have very accurate pictures of the yarn!!! Will order more!! |

| I needed another set of knitting needles like a hole in the head, but these are Addi knitting needles offered at a the sale price, and included the US 5 size, so it was a no brainer. The new case is perfect as it's not a bulky as the original one and fits nicely in my knitting bags. Take a look at the video on this site for tips on putting the needles together and you're all set. |

| I used Malabrigo worsted yarn to make this sweater. It turned out perfect. It was very easy to make and a good fit. I made crocheted button loops and pearl buttons for the closing instead of hooks and eyes. |

| This is the most gorgeous yarn - it is the softest cotton I have ever felt, and the colors are beautiful. Even better- it is organically grown! I will be buying more of this one! |

I'm not normally fond of metal needles, and have been increasingly replacing my metal straights with bamboo, birch, or rosewood straights.
However, these circular needles live up to their advertising - knitting with them is very smooth and quick. I never would have thought I'd find myself recommending these needles, but they're worth the price. |

| Lorna's Laces Lion and Lamb is, by far, hands down, my very very favorite yarn at Jimmy Bean's! It can't be beat, in terms of softness, stitch definition, sheen, and texture. One of my favorite patterns for this yarn is the Misty Garden Scarf from the "Scarf Style" book. This yarn truly looks gorgeous in a feather and fan pattern - even without blocking. |

I'm using three colors of Creative Focus Worsted to make a fair isle hat, and it's spectacular! The 25% Alpaca content makes it super soft, and the variety of colors made it easy pick 3 for a hat - the hard part was not picking more than 3. My only complaint is that it's not tightly twisted, so it splits easily, but overall the extra trouble is completely worth it. A great yarn to wear against your skin! |

| This is a wonderful yarn to work with. It has great yardage and the finished garment is sporty and looks more wooly than it feels. The yarn instead has a soft hand. It slides along your needle smoothly and does not split if you have to pick up a dropped stitch. In addition, it does not pill. Stitch definition I would say is average...not crisp because of the varigation in the yarn, but not fuzzy either. All and all, a delight to work with, and I this yarn will not be discontinued. |

| This is a very easy sweater to knit. Even the neckline is easy by simply following the exceptionally clear instructions. I have used a couple of KP&S patterns now and find them easy to follow and the finished product something of which one can be proud. |

| I bought color 109 to make the one skein cross stitch scarf. The yarn is beautiful, fun to work with and a great choice for this pattern. A beautiful fabric appears before your eyes! I've ordered several more colors. |
