Week 8 Sale+Magical Kits+Order of the Phoe-KNITS!
|
|
If you tried to visit our website earlier this week, you might have noticed that we were experiencing some *ahem* technical difficulties. In search of answers, we sent our trusty tech wizards deep into the dark, murky recesses of the Jimmy Beans website. Though it took them a few days to find the pesky cause, carefully guarded by the merpeople of Jimmy's Black Lake, they emerged victorious from their journey to the depths. The website is now back up and running!
In all seriousness, thank YOU for your patience this week, friends, we really, really appreciate it! In celebration, we've extended our Summer Sale to run an additional week, and we're offering FREE SHIPPING on all U.S. orders until Sunday, July 23rd! Yes, you read that right! Your favorite 6 brands featured during our Seven Seas Summer Sale (Madelinetosh, Malabrigo, Lorna's Laces, Manos Del Uruguay, Delicious Yarns, and Berroco) will be back on sale TODAY! You'll find goodies at 25%-65% off. Don't miss your second chance at catching a Golden Stitch - these elusive deals won't stick around long, grab them while you can!

Returning to the big screen this November is the second installment of a certain story relating to... incredible creatures? Fanciful monsters? Imaginative critters? You catch our drift. Bottom line is, we're excited, and we just can't hide it!
In honor of our most beloved wizard's 38th birthday on July 31 (hint, he wears glasses and has a lightning bolt-shaped scarf...err, scar), we've put together these magical Cascade 220 Wizard Scarf kits! Are you brave or loyal? Witty or cunning? Sure to show where your allegiance lies, each kit includes 4 hanks of Cascade 220. If you're not sure which House you belong to, we can help you sort it out!

Order of the Phoe-Knits!
|
The Order of the Phoe-Knits is headquartered here at Jimmy Beans, and led by none other than our Yarn Club Wizard. His mission is simple: spread yarn magic across the world! To do so, we offer several yarn clubs, delivered straight to your mailbox by owl (a.k.a. postman). What could be better than getting a box in the mail, you might ask? Getting a box of yarny goodness, of course!
What do you say, crafters, are you in? Can we count on you to be a member of the Order of the Phoe-Knits, dedicating yourselves to spreading the magic of yarn to all corners of the globe? (Woohoo! We knew we could count on you!)

If samplers are your cup of tea, then we have just the thing for you! Our Beanie Bag and Big Beanie Bag Project Clubs bring you a carefully curated selection of small yarn samples, including our favorite yarns new and old, useful notions, and yarn-know-how from our experts every month, resulting in a 3-month progressive project! The contents of each bag are a mystery until you open it, which we like to think is part of the fun in discovering new yarns and techniques!
Take a peek at our already released 2018 Beanie Bag Club Projects and Big Beanie Bag Club Projects!

If you're a "Bold Betty", inspired by powerful women of the past - and the present-day women leading the yarn industry - then the Micro-Brewed Club is for you! We've partnered with a series of "indie" hand-dyer revolutionaries to create gorgeous, limited edition colorways. Each month, we'll introduce you to the work of one new dyer (a "Micro-Brewer"), one new exclusively dyed yarn, and one "Bold Betty" from history!

If you're mad about Madelinetosh, we have THREE clubs that might be for you! Our Bespeckled Shawl Club features 80 yard samples of Tosh Merino Light - some months will be a speckle and some months will be a solid! The Blanket Club includes 1 skein of Farm Twist, delivered each month, and is available in 3 different color options! The Collector's Club is perfect for those of you building your stash or creating a larger project - you choose the base (Tosh Merino Light, Twist Light, or DK Twist), we'll send you 2 skeins dyed to your liking, solid, speckled, or a surprise!

If crochet gets your creative juices flowing, then our Crochet Project Club might be right for you! This club brings you a carefully curated selection of yarn samples (20+ yards each), including our favorite yarns new and old, useful notions, and yarn-know-how from our experts every month, resulting in a 3-month progressive project! With more yarn yardage than our original Beanie Bags - and less yardage than our Big Beanie Bags - we think the Crochet Club is just the right size!

Hurry! Hop on the train, and head back to Kings Cross Station. You'll be a quick broom ride (or long walk... your choice!) away from the Tower of London, where the Crown Wools are being kept. A quick flick of the wrist and a whisper of "aloha-more-uh" will get you inside. On the other side of the door, you'll have 12 mini hanks of Anzula Squishy waiting for you! Though The Crown Wools KAL started yesterday, there's still time to catch up - order your kit today, and you'll be a knitting wizard in no time!

We'll rewind the stash of one lucky crafter - if your project is selected, you'll win a Jimmy Beans Wool gift certificate for the cost of the yarn used in your winning project... no magic or time-turning necklaces required!

Laura's Furrow Shawl
With Houses on the brain this week, we couldn't help but notice how Laura's Furrow Shawl is knit in House colors. In fact, the Royal Engagement 2 kits are all paired up in House colors. Coincidence? Hmm, probably. Either way, this gorgeous shawl kit is available in Laura's choice, Rubies with Gold, or Emerald with Silver. Get your kit, and you'll be rockin' your shawl in true wizard-style!
