Early in the day, our Fiber Florist, Sam, witnessed something incredible - an unidentified flying object speeding over Jimmy Beans HQ! She gasped, rushing to find our Design Dutchess, Amy, "We need to figure out what that was!" Amy, always ready for a good adventure, agreed. A desert road trip to find -gasp- aliens!? There's no way she wouldn't tag along!

Driving late into the night through the Nevada desert, their spirits began to wane. Maybe they missed it. Maybe it was gone. They considered turning around before a blinking green light appeared overhead! Sam poked her head out of the car window, guiding Amy, who met her wild flailing and exclamations by stepping on the gas. Yes! They were hot on its trail! As Amy sped up, she urged Sam to grab her phone and take a picture - they had to get this on camera! Sam agreed and snapped a shot of the spacecraft. It wasn't long before it flew off, seemingly knowing it was spotted!

Sam breathed a sigh of relief - it was only a matter of time before it flew out of view and she was stoked knowing she secured a photo of it! This was a win for the duo! Amy pulled off to the side of the road, eager to see what they got on camera! She squinted, trying to make out what secrets the grainy photo possessed. Was that... an alien knitting?!

Amy was bewildered by this discovery and immediately set off to commemorate it by doing what she does best - designing a super-rad pattern with new, gorgeous yarn to boot! This discovery could not go unnoted!

The Jimmy Beans Wool Out of This World kit gives you exactly what you need to stay fashionable on your own astral travels! This curated capsule of oddities includes 9 skeins of Madelinetosh Unicorn Tails in 5 limited edition shades that are, well, out of this wool-d!

There's also an encrypted pattern download code for the BellaTrix Shawlette and a cheeky little stitch marker that reads "I Want to Believe"!

The BellaTrix Shawlette is a kerchief-sized project that's knit sideways from tip to tip using these exclusive colorways in eye-catching chevrons (but we like to think of them as abduction rays)! The size and shape of this shawlette offer you a handful of fun styling options, and green has never looked so good, hehe! Drawing inspiration from the recently declassified videos from the Pentagon, this project marks a special occasion for us all. The best part? With each color change, the ends are tied together, forming the fringe, so there are virtually no ends to weave in!

No party is complete without some colorful decorations! The delicate, bouncy movement and fun colors of party streamers tie everything together and signal the coming festivities. Seriously, when you see a sign with balloons and streamers attached to it, you know exactly what's goin' on. You can also flex your eye for design in how you style them (and we would be lying if we said we've never thought about opting out of the paper streamers for yarn)!

Bringing this party to your project bag is Trendsetter Yarn Streamers! Made out of 100% cotton for ultimate summer breathability, (which is defi-knit-ly something to celebrate), these cute cakes sport a whopping 880 yards of colorful eye-candy! Perfect for any project, you can have your cake and knit with it too, hehe! Each cake of yarn works up into marled stripes using complementary colors and jaw-dropping palettes!

Ultra Pima Painter's Palette!

One of the most important things for a painter is their palette. By curating a collection of colors to work with on your canvas, you can create a huge array of moods and points of interest, using contrasting and complementary shades to your advantage. The same can be said about the fiber arts - with each stitch, you are telling a story - and your color palette reflects that.

This is why we're super excited to announce new shades of Cascade Ultra Pima! This beloved base is perfect for any weather of crafting with a keen eye on the warmer months. Made out of 100% Pima Cotton, this DK weight yarn offers your projects breathability in an incredible assortment of shades to achieve that perfect masterpiece you envision!

This yarn is silky soft and able to be machine washed in cool water, making project upkeep a breeze!

If you're stuck thinking about projects to make, these new shades help create an inclusive range of skin tones that work incredibly well for Knitted Knockers. The Knitted Knockers organization and movement help uplift women who have undergone a mastectomy by giving them a lightweight, handknit prosthesis that looks and feels like a real breast.

As Sweet as Candy!

Some colors are fresh like clean linens, some are bitter like dark roast coffee, and others are as sweet as candy! Cotton candy, that is! Back in May, to celebrate Mad May Light, Madelinetosh crafted a custom colorway, lovingly named Cotton Candy Daydreams!

This dreamy colorway melts through gorgeous hues of teal, magenta, and pale gold, which seems to be the theme this year, and we're loving it! Reminiscent of lazy summer afternoons, walking through open fields of flowers, this colorway brings a similar feeling of warmth and joy to our needles!

We wish for nothing more than to sit outside with the sun on our face and a gentle breeze combing through our hair while making with this beauty!

This exclusive shade is available in Farm Twist and Tosh Merino Light, offering an expansive variety of potential projects to sink your needles and hooks into! Talk about sweet!

Ultra Wool for Ultra Warmth!

It seems that whenever the temperatures skyrocket, we long for the cool, snowy days of winter when we can bundle up and justify drinking 5 mugs of hot cocoa. That can't just be us, right? Imagine it! Instead of being a couch potato in front of a fan, still managing to break a sweat, you're curled up in front of the crackling fireplace with a wooly project in hand. Sigh. Maybe this is just the plight of being a maker!

While we can't exactly force the weather to change to suit our needs, we can get started on our cool-weather crafts and be ahead of the game when that first snowflake falls! Here to help us out with that quest is none other than Berroco Ultra Wool Chunky!

Available in solid and heathered tones, this yarn is made out of 100% Superwash Wool and is 100% cozy to boot! Perfect for cardigans, pullovers, and accessories, you can bundle up with time to spare for the gift-giving season!

We have to admit, we've been a little (read: very) obsessed with all things 80s lately. From the fun, upbeat synth music to the bold colors and silhouettes of the decade's fashion, we've been relishing in the revival of the eclectic era!

Even around Jimmy Beans HQ, we've been seeing a little bit of the 80s sprinkled in everyone's outfits, like neon accents, biker jackets, printed leggings, and a mullet/mohawk combo (yeah, mullets are back in fashion - can you believe it?)!

With our love for funky fashion and statement pieces, we've been made privy to a certain rumor that's been on everyone's lips. Something new, bright, and fun is on the horizon and we can't wait to find out what it could possibly be!

Just between us, we've uncovered some top-secret photos from della Q that give us a good idea of what to expect, and our needles are about to rejoice! You gotta keep it on the down-low, though. We can't let this discovery get out!
