| Gift or Donate Hats This Season + Win Free Yarn!
'Tis the season of giving and us makers know that the best part about the holidays is gifting items handmade with love and yarn! That's why, on this Giving Tuesday we're using our talents as fiber artists to give the very best presents to our loved ones and those in need.
The Team Beans have partnered up with prolific knitter, Winni Clausen, to host a month-long event called 31 Days of Hats where we will provide FREE hat patterns for you to make and give away as a gift (to yourself or a loved one!) or donate to charity.
|
Every Saturday throughout December, we will update the 31 Days of Hats page on our website with free knit AND crochet hat patterns for the week. That way, if you're a knitter, crocheter, local or out-of-towner, everyone can partake in a free make!

A Helping Hand for Hat-Making!
Many of these patterns are beginner friendly and meant to be made in a day for easy gift giving and/or donation. However, if patterns are proving difficult, not to worry! We are always here to help!
|
You can join Winni and the Team Beans in the JBW classroom every Tuesday 5pm - 7pm and every Saturday (excluding 12/24) 10am - 12pm for exclusive after-hours hat making! Not local to the Reno-Tahoe area? Don't fret!
The Team Beans are still more than happy to help! You can give us a call at (775) 827-9276 or email support@JimmyBeansWool.com during business hours for virtual assistance and resources.

For all makers in the Sierra Nevada region, each hat dropped off with us in-person for donation will receive a raffle ticket and be entered to win AMAZING prizes at the end of the month!
Join us on December 31st for a closing ceremony at Jimmy Beans HQ in Reno at 891 Trademark Dr. where we will collect your warm knit and crochet caps for donation to a greater cause!
|
To attend this festive fiber event, you do not have to donate a hat! You can use these patterns to make a gift for someone you love and still feel free to join us on New Year's Eve for celebration! (Plus, there will be a hot chocolate bar available at every in-store event- yum!)

Stock Up or Stash Bust!
As you prepare your hooks and needles, you may want to stock up on yarn for these next 31 Days of making! Choose colorways that remind you of your loved ones or add to your stash for the end of the year! If you need more yarn (who doesn't?!), here are a few holiday recommendations to get you started:

The Donations Don't Stop There!
In addition to 31 Days of Hats, we are also hosting a canned food drive that gives you the chance to win some FREE yarn!
|
For every 5 to 15 cans of food or non-perishable food items, you will be able to reach into our big box of mystery yarn and score a skein (or three!). You get one try for every 5 cans of food, limit 3 tries per store visit. - 5 cans = one try - 10 cans = two tries - 15 cans = three tries
Although your attempts at our mystery box are capped at 15 cans per visit, feel free to donate as much as you please! We will be hosting this spectacular donation deal through the rest of December and you may come in to donate any day of the week that we are open!
