Straighten out your back, trooper! Are you ready to accept your next mission? Very good! Make sure to grab your needles and hooks and prepare your project bag! Here are your marching orders: take a seat and relax with a brand new, limited edition set inspired by everyone's favorite star-traveling saga! Introducing... Yarn Wars The Millenium Fiber!
This kit features seven skeins of Madelinetosh Unicorn Tails which is a single-ply, fingering weight yarn. These scrumptious shades are exclusive to this kit with each one named after some of our favorite heroes (or villains, depending on your side) of the galaxy! With inspo names such as Scavenger Skies, WAAAOOOWWWWEEEE, and Little Orb, there's a little something for everyone. No pattern is included, giving you the creative freedom to make anything you want! Use them one at a time for colorwork projects and contrast details or use them together for projects like mitts and socks!
Sound good? Okay, briefing over! Time to go grab your popcorn and take a seat, because this is gonna be out of this world (er, galaxy)!! Whether you have been a fan since the very beginning or jumped in some time later, we're all so excited to be able to see the exciting conclusion of this incredible trilogy together, and this time, our needles and hooks can join in the fun!

One of the best things you can give someone for the holidays is the gift of learning a new skill. Now, stay with us here, think back to when you first began knitting - how did you feel? Frustrated? Maybe! But look at you now! Your confidence and skills are immeasurable, and the glee you feel when you pick up a new skein of yarn for that special project you had stored away? Indescribable!

|
Teach the gift of knitting to a loved one this holiday season with patterns from Kelbourne Woolens! Each kit includes three patterns for a hat, a pair of mitts, or a scarf, with each pattern progressively getting a little more difficult by beginning with a simple stockinette pattern and ending with either simple cables or stranded colorwork! Each kit uses Kelbourne Woolens Germantown yarn, a worsted weight 100% wool yarn that's perfect for learning and available in a wide range of colors to complement any style!

New Koigu!
|
Sure, fades are great, but SPARKLE fades? Sign. Us. Up! New from Koigu, Snow Queen is a chilly new Pencil Box Colorway that reminds us of the most romantic parts of wintertime (and not the frozen toes and fear of black ice). Featuring the pastel pink of the morning sky all the way to the deep purple of blackberry jam, each mini skein has the same, glittery quality that we look forward to each morning in the frost that dusts our lawns. This pack also pairs beautifully with the Venation Shawl by Ambah O'Brien!
|
The latest Koigu Collector's Club colorway, Utopia, is a super-sweet shade that's a little nostalgic for some of us Beans. It reminds us of our childhoods, helping ourselves to a nice bowl of rainbow sherbet after dinner! This color features a dreamy shade of orange mixed with pops of pink and sprinkles of blue. Easy to incorporate into your stash, use a couple skeins for a single scarf or as the contrast border to your next cowl! Utopia is limited edition, meaning once they're gone, they're gone for good, so grab a spoon (er.. needle!) and dig in!!

Please Note: This yarn definitely qualifies as your needles' daily serving of fiber, hehe!

2020 Hedgehog Fibres Blanket Club!
2020 is lookin' bright! For next year's blanket club, we've flipped the script! Not only will we be offering a knit pattern (designed by Jimenez Joseph), but a crochet pattern (designed by Amy Gunderson) as well - both patterns are included in each shipment, making checkout that much easier this year! Using 1 skein of Hedgehog Fibres Merino Aran yarn a month, everyone can join in on this blanket and enjoy one of two colorways: Jimenez's Choice and Jimmy's Choice. In the Jimmy Beans Wool 2020 Hedgehog Fibres Blanket Club, you will also receive an exclusive fish-themed enamel pin each month - which ties into the names of each blanket, Fishing for Koi (knit) and Making Waves (crochet) - and an aluminum ring in the first month to keep all of your pattern cards in one place. This yearlong project will also be easier than our 2019 blanket, making it easier to access for makers of all levels and doubles as a great gift! You can either opt to pay monthly (you will not be charged until your order has shipped out) or pre-pay for a 12-month subscription.
Please Note: If you are currently subscribed to the 2019 Tosh Blanket KAL: From Grandma with Love, you will NOT automatically be rolled over into the new blanket club and will need to subscribe again. You can do so by ordering online here, by calling us toll-free at (877) 529-5648 or emailing us at support@JimmyBeansWool.com. We can't wait to start with y'all!

This year, we started a raffle to raise money for a seven-year-old boy named Junior! Junior has acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL for short) and a big wish to go to LEGOLAND. With your support, we surpassed our goal in under 3 days! November marked his last month of chemotherapy, and we're so excited to be able to help him celebrate this amazing accomplishment by granting his wish!
But the giving won't be ending there! We're also thrilled to introduce one of the other wishes we've adopted from the Northeastern & Central California and Northern Nevada Make-A-Wish® Chapter to keep the spirit going strong!
|
We're also sponsoring 19-year old Ronnie with his wish to go to Hawaii! Ronnie was always an active teen, playing soccer, running track, and playing football. This, however, was cut short during the summer of 2017, where he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia after starting to feel unexplainable weakness and pain. He immediately began chemotherapy and continued to get treatments for more than a year. His treatments gave Ronnie stomach problems and headaches that required staying in the hospital for up to 5 days following each session. While he still needs to receive treatments, Ronnie only needs about one a month now, which will continue until 2020.
|
|
Despite Ronnie's illness making him take a break from school and athletics, he's eagerly awaiting the day where he can sprint out into the field and get back in the groove of things! For now, Ronnie spends his time playing video games and watching telenovelas with his family, appreciating the time he can spend bonding with the people he loves.
Even though his treatments make him a little weak, Ronnie dreams of zip lining through the trees, swimming with the dolphins, and scuba diving in the clear waters of Hawaii! There, he can let his excitement loose with all of the fun activities during the day and still enjoy quality time with his family, truly getting to spend his vacation living the best of both worlds!
To help us achieve our goals, the raffle will be running throughout December, with winners chosen on December 31st, 2019. Each raffle ticket is $5.00 and enters you in for a chance at winning one of 10 loaded prizes (containing bags, yarn, needles, hooks, you name it)! Each prize is valued between $200.00 - $300.00 and will ship anywhere in the world for free. Please note that these tickets are only available through Jimmy Beans Wool and do not produce a physical ticket (your order number counts as your entry or entries). You can purchase multiple tickets, entering you in multiple times.
ALL of the proceeds through this raffle will be going directly to Ronnie's wish.

Project on our Needles!
Marie's Shadow Shawl
For some of us, it's a little upsetting watching the sun go down at 4:30 PM each day (that's WAY too early for our liking), but for others, like Marie, it was the kind of inspiration she needed! Using a yarn that reflected the bright orange of the sky melting into the deep purple of the mountains, she set off to make a shawl that was petite enough to bring around everywhere, but simple enough to really let the colors work their magic! This shawl features a stockinette background interrupted by rows of purls and completed with an eye-catching column of eyelets to pull the whole shawl together!
