| New Malabrigo, Tosh Hues, and a KAL! Wallets and Backpacks and Totes, Oh My!! | | |
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and a new della Q shipment arrived at Jimmy Beans HQ! Last week, a huge truck pulled up to our warehouse stuffed to the brim with della, and our Beans rallied together to climb inside and retrieve boxes upon boxes of our favorite maker's bags. Just in time for prime making season, your upcoming WIPs deserve a nice home (and you deserve to keep them organized!).
One of the most exciting boxes to open was the della Q Maker's Canvas Wallets! We've been waiting a long time (and so have you!) for this perfect everyday accessory to arrive! Available in five colors of sturdy waxed canvas with genuine leather details, this pocketbook will grow with you as the fabric marbles over time. Plus, with detachable wrist and shoulder straps included, this wallet is the upgrade you have been looking for!

Earlier this year, we launched our Circular Needlecases and they sold out FAST! If you've been waiting on the edge of your seat for their return, today is your lucky day! This carryall opens up accordion style to reveal eleven separate slots for any size circular needles. With durable canvas construction, faux leather accents, and a sturdy zipper, this case is sure to keep your needles secure! This needle case is available in six colors (now including Petal!). We expect these to go fast again, so don't hesitate!

Have you been looking for a bag to carry not just your projects but your entire life?! With plenty of pockets to organize all your supplies plus maker specific features (like a yarn cutter and feeder) the della Q Maker's Canvas Backpack is everything you've wanted all in one sophisticated bag. With comfortable adjustable straps and a top handle, this backpack is easy to grab when you're on the go!

Knit The Ultimate Socks!
This is the time of year where we start thinking about putting away our sandals and start planning out all the socks we're going to be pairing with our boots this autumn! Is anyone else's Ravelry queue clogged with sock patterns they're dreaming about making!? Recently, our friends at Malabrigo have taken their fan-favorite cozy sock yarn and elevated it to new heights!
|
Meet Malabrigo Ultimate Sock! With 25% nylon added to the merino wool everyone already knows and loves, this yarn is more durable for everything our feet go through!
Great for socks and garments that go through a lot of friction, each skein carries 420 yards of this 4-ply yarn! Whether you're looking to make a sturdy sweater or your favorite sock pattern, this yarn will give you what you need!
|
|
Just like its sister yarn, Ultimate Sock is available in a rainbow of kettle-dyed colors. The 30 colorways include some classic Malabrigo shades like Frank Ochre and Anniversario plus three new hues exclusive to this base: Patrick, Gloria, and Zinnias!

Virgo is written in the stars this month and we're glad we get to celebrate with the latest Toshstrology! Known to be humble and practical, this Earth sign is kind, gentle, and supportive to those they love. Some notable Virgos include Blake Lively, Zendaya, and Beyonce.
|
|
To represent the earthiness of Virgos, this hue from Madelinetosh blends gorgeous greens together in each skein! Available in solid and speckled options, this special return of Toshstrology to celebrate our big birthday is dyed by hand on Tosh Vintage!
Make sure to grab your Virgo skeins quickly - once we are out, we're out! You still have time to fill in your 2022 chart with the hanks we have left of Capricorn, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, and Leo!

Just in from Madelinetosh...
Is it just us or have you been seeing mushrooms everywhere recently?! From motifs in sweater yokes to toadstool toppers, these little fungi seem to be constantly growing in popularity even in the fiber world! To jump in on all of the mushroom love, Madelinetosh decided they were the perfect inspiration for this month's Hue of the Moment.
|
|
This fungi comes in all sizes, shapes, and colors (there are more than 14,000 varieties discovered!) so the color wizards at Tosh blended all that inspiration to give us Shroom With A View! Available in Tosh DK and Tosh Merino Light, this colorway swirls together earthy tones with a bright pop of pink!
|
|
One last hue for you...
Inspired by our favorite binge watch from this summer, Eddie Munson is about to be the hero of your stash! This colorway is part Hellfire Club, part metalhead. Fiery reds, sunny yellows, stark whites, and speckles of black blend together to make this Hero of Hawkins! Get his rockin' color on Tosh Merino Light, Tosh Vintage, and Tosh DK!

Project On Our Needles!
Alex's Portland Cap
Recently our Bean, Alex, took a trip up to Oregon with her family and loved being surrounded by tall trees and greenery! So when she saw the pattern for the Portland Cap designed by Mary Pranica, she knew it would be a great reminder of her time in the Beaver State! This beanie is punctuated with a round of cables reminiscent of the trees scattering the land of Portland.
Exciting news! This pattern is available as a kit on our site!
