Do you ever wish you had superpowers? We'll admit, we think about it from time to time... we're fast, but just imagine how fast we could ship your yarn if we could move at light speed! And of course, there's that whole flying thing, too. Always our partner in crime (or maybe fighting crime, this time!), Lorna's came up with an exciting limited edition color for November: Incredible! This bright and fun mix of red, yellow, and black just screams, "Bam! Kapow! Take that, evil masterminds of the world!" Okay, maybe we're getting carried away, but it does remind us of the superhero family in Pixar's The Incredibles! And since we just heard they're working on a sequel, we thought it the perfect time to get started on some superhero-inspired knitting.
 | Do you have a kid on your list (or "big kid" - ahem, we're looking at you, grown-ups who stand in line at midnight for the release of each new X-men movie) whose Christmas stocking is just waiting for a warm winter accessory to enhance their superhero abilities in the cold weather? Simply grab your favorite weight of Incredible - Shepherd Sock, Solemate, Shepherd Sport, Sportmate, or Shepherd Worsted - and knit up the Lorna's Basic Sock; the pattern has instructions for all three weights! Of course, we have it in the other Lorna's bases as well - which one makes you feel like a superhero? |

So get those knitting needles (and forks and knives!) ready!

Lotus Miya - 40% off!
We've got your newest fingering-weight favorite on sale! Lotus Miya, a sumptuous blend of mink, merino wool, and silk, satisfies that "champagne-taste-on-a-beer-budget" syndrome we're all familiar with. With over 300 yards to the ball, you'll have plenty of luxury to go around - knit up a small shawl, a light but warm beret, or some adorable fingerless mitts - what better place to have all that decadent fiber than on your hands? We love the Ysolda Teague Veyla Mitts - and you'd have some leftover for a matching hat!
Knit Collage Pixie Dust and Candy Cane - from 30% off!
Knit Collage is known for their absolutely unique hand-spun yarns, and our sale colors of Pixie Dust certainly fit that bill - a thick-and-thin blend of mohair, wool, camel, and sparkly fibers with signature "cocoon" sections spun in, this super-bulky yarn knits up quickly into a thick cowl or hat! And Candy Cane is a showstopper: two separately spun strands of soft wool and mohair are plied together for a truly unique, stripy look, with a bit of glitter thrown in just for fun! Grab a hank before they're gone, and make yourself a one-of-a-kind accessory for the cold weather!
Kollage Stitch Red Circs and DPNs - 50% off!
You know how much we love our square needles - I don't think there's a Bean working here who hasn't given this ergonomic, hand-pleasing design a try! Many even swear square needles make their knitting faster, too! Now you can relieve hand stress and knit for a cause with the Kollage Stitch Red Circulars and Double Pointed Needles. The Kollage square needles are very lightweight and super-pointy, and the cords on the circulars are extra flexible so they'll never kink or get in your way. And best of all, both JBW and Kollage donate a portion of the proceeds from these needles to The Heart Truth© to help educate about and prevent heart disease!
Koigu Grab Bags - 25% off!
All of you seem to love the grab bags we offer - with great yarn at amazing prices, who wouldn't? We've got one of your favorites on the menu this time: Koigu! Each Koigu Grab Bag includes 3 skeins of KPPPM, KPM, or a color-coordinated mixture of both. These skeins are onesies, meaning they didn't quite match the rest of the dye lot, but we think that makes them even more beautiful! Pick one up to fatten your stash, for a Churchmouse Linen Stitch Scarf, to work on your hexipuffs for The Beekeeper's Quilt, or just to enjoy looking at those gorgeous colors!
Rowan Sale Yarn - 50% off!
Just in time for all that winter knitting you have planned, we have a ton of new Rowan sale products! We've stocked the shelves with versatile, machine washable Pure Wool Aran in select colors at 50% off, which is an steal of a deal for this workhorse yarn. And don't forget about super-bulky Amy Butler Sweet Harmony for quick knits, or Creative Linen - it's never too early to stock up on lightweight yarns for when warm weather returns!
