This year has been fibertastic! From 20th birthday celebrations to settling in to our new home at 891 Trademark Drive in Reno, Jimmy Beans has had an iconic year! The party won't fade away in 2022 - we already have plenty of excitement, fun and, of course, YARN lined up for the new year! Including the announcement you have all been waiting for... subscriptions for 2023 Clubs are now open!

That's right, Blanket, Shawl, and Accessory Clubs are back with all NEW yarn and designs for monthly making from January to December!

We know how much you all are mad for Tosh, so why not treat yourself to a delightful blanket made from Madelinetosh yarn!

Available in two colorways, these shade ranges include some hues you already know and love plus some exclusive colorways! Along with one full skein of Tosh Vintage, each month you will receive a PDF Pattern for a section (knit and crochet) and a coordinating stitch marker.

All you have to do is reserve your colorway for Jimmy's 2023 Madelinetosh Blanket Club and then get ready to knit along with Jen Geigley's Quilty Blanket's geometric motifs or dive your hooks into the waves of KT and the Squid's Juni blanket pattern! You can expect this club to ship between the 10th and 15th of each month.

Please note: Needles and hooks are not included. For this project you will need US Size 8 (5 mm) 16" and 40" needles or a US Size I (5.5 mm) hook.

Have you been eyeing the stunning fades that La Bien Aimee puts together?! If so, Jimmy's 2023 La Bien Aimee Shawl Club is just what your project bags need!

Choose between two striking colorways hand-dyed straight from the City of Love to create a fantastically faded wrap designed by MarinJaKnits (knit) and Toni Lipsey (crochet)!

Shipping each month between the 20th and 25th, you will get a pre-wound mini of Merino Singles straight to your mailbox along with a one-of-a-kind stitch marker from Birdie Parker Designs and monthly part of digital patterns uploaded to your Jimmy Beans account!

Please note: Needles and hooks are not included in the subscription. For this project you will need a US Size 4 (3.5 mm) 24" circular needle or a US Size G/H (4.5 mm) crochet hook.

Smaller bite size projects more of your thing? Or maybe you want to try out a bunch of new yarns?! Join Jimmy's 2023 Accessory Club!

Each month, we select both a knit and crochet pattern from different designers and pair them with our favorite yarns!

Fun for both knitters and crocheters, this subscription includes the yarn needed for the project, a fun notion, and digital patterns uploaded to your account! We love this club to get ahead on gift giving season and try out new patterns and techniques. Accessory Club ships between the 15th and 20th of the month.

Please note: Needles and hooks do not come with this subscription. Sizes needed each month will vary.

Each club has the option for US Customers to revel in an ongoing monthly subscription (shipping included) or pre-pay for the whole year, making it not only a great gift for yourself but also a fantastic surprise for your favorite fiber artist! Each Jimmy Beans club arrives each month like a little gift on your doorstep that you don't have to lift a finger to order! (Clubs are also available to international customers for additional shipping fees.)

Just a reminder, BEFORE ordering your subscription, make sure to create a Jimmy Beans Account to ensure you receive your monthly pattern uploads!

Ingredients for a fantastic birthday party: a giant cake topped with frosting, balloons floating in the air, your closest friends and family, and for us makers...yarn! As another fantastic fiber surprise for our 20th birthday, we are excited to announce we have teamed up with one of our besties, Kenyarn, to create a hand-dyed yarn that encapsulates the feeling of the most colorful birthday party!

Reminiscent of our logo and a pinata swinging high and mighty at a party, each fingering weight hank of Birthday, has bright speckles of rainbow throughout, perfect for adding an electric pop of color to your next project!

Aurora Fingering is a blend of 80% superwash merino wool and 20% nylon, making the strands not only squishy soft but also springy and durable!

Not sure what to pair with Birthday? We recommend pairing this kaleidoscopic masterpiece with the beautiful Jimmy's Birthday blue that La Bien Aimee dyed for us earlier this year on their beloved Merino Singles!

Ambah O'Brien's effortless Delphinia Shawl is our project pick to showcase these gorgeous yarns together! Garter stitch sections alternating with an easy lace pattern make this stunning shawl a breeze to knit and wear!

Blue not the hue for you?? Head over to our new tool on our website, Jimmy's Sketchbook, to play around with different shades to create your perfect colorway! Simply click the "add to sketchbook" button under the colorway(s) of your choice and let the fun begin! This tool is available to anyone who visits our site, but if you sign in to your Jimmy Beans account you get more features unlocked including saving multiple sketchbooks and sharing a link to your sketchbook with a friend!

Try it out with our Kenyarn Birthday sample sketchbook!

To learn more about everything Jimmy's Sketchbook does, head over to our Tuesday Newsletter!

Please note: These skeins from Kenyarn are hand-dyed so each one has different amounts of each color of speckles making them unique! Our warehouse color wizards will do their best to match orders of multiple skeins!

Elizabeth's Clownfish

Our Bean, Elizabeth, was scrolling on TikTok one day and spotted a crochet fish in a jar and decided she MUST add one to her desk full of crochet creatures! Using some stash yarn, Natalina Craft's crochet clownfish pattern, and a fish bowl, Elizabeth created the most adorable desk pet that she doesn't even have to feed!
