| Sweet Sales, New La Bien, & Upcycle Your Clothes! New della Q Is Ready For Pre-Orders! | | |
With the holiday season just around the corner, we're creating our gift lists and checking them twice! When you imagine the perfect gift sitting under the tree, what do you think of?! A beautiful set of interchangeable needles? A basket full of the prettiest and squishiest yarn? A new della Q bag?! Just in time for the gift-giving season, della Q is introducing their new Fall Collection to add to our lists (or give to our favorite makers!).

Three bags in one: Maker's Rucksack
The new Rucksack from della Q combines what you love most about the Knit Sack, Oh Snaps, and Maker's Tote into one bag! This mid-size handbag can be worn as a crossbody, shoulder bag, or carried like a clutch! Not only adorable, this new maker's accessory is also affordable!
|
Carry it all with the Maker's Satchel
This chic doctor's bag has been reimagined to be a perfect carryall for makers! The Satchel comes equipped with a hard case opening and strong flat bottom, great for keeping your bag propped open to knit or crochet out of! With two secure clasp closures and plenty of pockets, this bag is sure to protect even your most precious projects!
The Satchel is available in 5 hues - Olive, Mustard, Red, Black, and Blue. The Purple version of the Satchel is currently sold-out! Stay tuned for more in 2023.
|
|
Made with our durable canvas, soft genuine leather details, and brass accents, the Satchel and Rucksack have all the maker-specific features you know and love: adjustable shoulder straps, a yarn feeder and cutter, and a decorative pin with three emergency lotus stitch markers!
|
|
But wait, there's more: Maker's Canvas Cubbies!
Made to fit perfectly inside the Backpack, Rucksack, Tote, and Satchel, each Cubby is cute, color coordinates* with all compatible bags, and is collapsible to save space when not in use.
As a set of two, these Cubbies can be used to store yarn, small projects, knick knacks, and notions within your project bags! Or you can grab more to keep your shelves, desk, and even craft drawers organized!
|
These three accessories are available for pre-order and will be shipped to you in the beginning of December just in time for all of your holiday festivities!
(Pssst.... della Q will be at Stitches SoCal in Pasadena, California November 10-13, located at booths 311 and 410! Stitches SoCal attendees will get the chance to take any of the three new items HOME with them, no pre-orders! So if you're in the area make sure to get a ticket and come say hi! Admission is free on Sunday.)
*The Maker's Cubbies and Rucksack come in all EIGHT of the della Q colors including Purple!! And we know how much y'all love Purple but at this time we aren't offering Purple in our other bags (however, stay tuned for the future!)

Recently at our warehouse, a truck pulled up, we opened our bay doors, and confetti rained down from the rafters in celebration of a new shipment of skeins! Our Beans danced around in the colorful specks as we passed around hanks of La Bien Aimee's Corrie Confetti to ogle and squish! Okay... maybe that all happened in our heads, but it is how we imagined offering a warm welcome to this yarn!
|
Corrie Confetti is like a fiber version of a funfetti cake! Our friends at La Bien take all the scraps of threads and fibers found in their mill and atelier and mix them together with Falkland Corriedale Wool to create an eco-friendly and colorful fiber!
This recycled yarn is dyed one batch at a time, so once that color is gone, it's gone! Jimmy Beans was lucky enough to get their hands on FOUR Corrie Confetti colors: Aimee's Peach Sweater, Greybow, Ochre, and Ultramarine!

Searching for a way to show off these beautiful skeins?! Amy Gunderson recently designed a sweater with delicious texture that perfectly shows off the beauty of Corrie Confetti!
Gillett was inspired by one of our customers, Janet, who was looking to knit her own version of a sweater she bought. Being a sweet and yarn-y friend, Amy got to work writing a pattern to make Janet's wool wishes come true!

Need New Needles?
The needles we use while we knit are just as important as the yarn we choose to create with! They need to be comfortable for us to hold for long enough to make sweaters, smooth for yarn to glide off of, and pointy enough to prevent splitting our skeins! ChiaoGoo seems to have this formula down perfectly! Not only are their needles a favorite among our Beans, when customers come into our retail store, we often overhear 'point us towards the ChiaoGoo needles!
|
Each of these interchangeable sets come with a needle gauge, stitch markers, end stoppers, connectors, and tightening keys all packaged in a compact, travel-friendly case!

A Shirt and Stash Saving Event!
|
We all have that one beloved t-shirt that lives in our dresser and the thought of getting rid of it is too sad to bear... so it just stays in its spot in the back of our drawer untouched and unworn. What if we said you could knit new life into it with some stash yarn and your needles?!
Join us on November 18th at 10:30 AM (PST) on Zoom for Upcycling with Yarn with Afifa Sayeed! Afifa debuted this class last month at our Biggest Little Getaway and it was such a hit that we decided to open it up to ALL of our customers! In this free and thrifty virtual event she'll go through the basics of upcycling your old t-shirts with fiber!
|
To let us know you can make it and to submit questions to Afifa ahead of time, please fill out this form! In the meantime, you can check-out our blog to learn more about our knowledgeable teacher and this exciting class!

Project On Our Needles!
Laura's JUiST No2 Pullover
The temperatures at Jimmy Beans HQ in Reno have dropped and it is officially sweater weather! Our Queen Bean, Laura, finished this JUiST No2 sweater just in time! Laura loves using vibrant and fun colors in her knits and when she laid her eyes on this color of Noro Ito, she knew it would make the perfect pullover!
