How did you learn how to knit?? We asked our Beans and some shared sweet stories of afternoons with their moms or grandmas teaching them basic knits and purls. What we love about this craft is how it can bring a group of loved ones together and become a tradition to pass down from one generation to the next! This Mother's Day, our friends at Knitter's Pride have just the set of needles to celebrate the joy knitting brings the maker mom in your life!

The Joy of Knitting Gift Set has everything your mom figure needs for a peaceful day with her needles and yarn in hand!

Nestled in a bright and fun needle-punched pouch are seven different sizes of colorful cubic interchangeable tips and 360 swivel nylon coated cables in sizes 24", 32", and 40". These needles will provide not only the ultimate knitting experience for mom but comfortable as well!

This set also includes 6 end caps, 2 cable keys, 30 metal stitch markers, wool needles, and 3 stitch holders that all fit into an additional mini-sized embroidered pouch! If you ask us, we don't think there could be a better gift for the knitter in your life!

Pre-order now to have in time for Mother's Day!

The Scheepjes Colour Lab CAL has officially come to a close! For those who participated, how did it go?! We would love to see the unique blankets you created over the last few months so make sure to tag us on social @jimmybeanswool!

While the lab may be closed for the year, we still have some kits available to bring your dream Cypress Textiles blanket to life! We might even add that the Scrumptious Kit includes a LOT of yarn that is perfect for building up your stash!

Made from recycled plastic bottle content, Scrumptious is a DK-weight yarn that is not only lightweight but is also hypoallergenic and easy to care for! Perfect for the eco-conscious crocheter, this yarn is a blend of 50% Recycled Polyester (plastic bottles) and 50% Acrylic.

Each Scrumptious Colour Pack includes 80 x 30g balls in the most delicious colors. You also get 3 x 100g balls of Scrumptious in black, white, and gray!

The best news?! This kit is now available for $99 making it the perfect excuse to add oodles of yarn to your collection!

Did you know the full moon in April is also known as the Pink Moon? This celestial event is named after the early springtime bloom of a wildflower known as moss pink!

To celebrate the first full moon of spring, Madelinetosh brought us Pink Moon as our next delicious hue of the moment. While the moon doesn't actually change hue, the color wizards at Tosh thought "What if it did?" and illuminated a dark black base with the prettiest of pinks and pops of purples! Available at Jimmy Beans on the scrumptious bases Tosh DK and Tosh Merino Light, we can imagine it worked up into beautiful beanies and the cutest cowls.

Are you already thinking past spring and visiting sandy beaches this summer?! For this year's Local Yarn Store Day color, Team Tosh is taking us to the white sandy beaches of Bonaire in the Caribbean Island! Reminiscent of the islands' azure waters, these gorgeous blue-green speckled skeins are a perfect transition-season color.

We have this tropical blue available for pre-order on some of our favorite MadTosh bases including Tosh DK, Tosh Merino Light, and Tosh Vintage!

Speaking of Local Yarn Store Day, are you ready to celebrate?! If you are local to the Reno area, make sure to join us for a fun weekend of festivities at Jimmy Beans Wool on April 29th & 30th!
