| A Brand New Tool Only at JimmyBeansWool.com! Visualize Colorwork Like Never Before! | | |
If you're like us (and we bet you are!), you've scrolled through the Jimmy Beans website for hours searching for the perfect palette for your next project! To make that process more fun and convenient, we are thrilled to bring you a brand new feature that will change the way you shop online at Jimmy Beans Wool! Mr. Bean himself (Doug Zander!) has been hard at work creating Jimmy's Sketchbook to make colorway picking easier for knitters, crocheters, and crafters alike!
One of the most exciting aspects of working with yarn is all the endless colorway possibilities. Whether it's a blanket, shawl, colorwork or anything else you can get your hooks and needles on, color picking is oh-so important! With this new feature, all you have to do is click "add to sketchbook" under a colorway and watch as all your top picks are placed into one big grid for you to play with!

Your New Colorway Companion!

Don't know where to start? Let's take a look at the La Mondiola Wrap in Malabrigo Arroyo.
This pattern is shown here in a beautiful purple and blue palette, but what if that's just not your style? Now you can use Jimmy's Sketchbook to lay out all the color combinations your heart desires!

Layout Your Layers!
Jimmy's Sketchbook allows for up to 64 skeins in one grid! You can add and take away colors as you please and arrange hues best suited for your visualization process!
Check out the Wavelength Cowl shown here with each colorway laid out!

Go at it in Grayscale!
Another fabulous feature of Jimmy's Sketchbook is the ability to view your work in grayscale! Find the perfect contrasting values for your next colorwork project and avoid creating muddy motifs that are difficult to see and appreciate!
When you're picking out Rasta colors for your latest beanie, make sure it shines!
