Are you a maker who likes to get ahead of the game, or would you consider yourself a procrasti-knitter? As much as we like to try and plan out our next projects, we can't help but be a little frazzled when it comes to the planning process. If you find yourself nodding along while reading that, then have no fear because the Jimmy Beans Wool 2021 Clubs are finally here! Perfect for those of us who don't pre-plan our projects, want something always on our needles throughout the year, or maybe just want to give ourselves a treat every month!

We're taking a walk down memory lane - remember the Beanie Bags? The 2021 Accessory Club is like the grown-up older sibling, satisfying your craving for beautiful accessories and smaller projects throughout the year. Each month has a new project that can even be used as a way to get your holiday gift-giving in order! The colors each month will be a mystery, but have been chosen carefully in a beautiful palette of generally neutral shades, suitable for all genders! Each month will include a surprise notion to tickle your fancy as well as a myriad of different techniques that stay safely in the beginner to intermediate-friendly range!

Please note: Monthly accessories will vary. What is shown in the image may not be what is received. Ship date: Between the 15th and 20th of each month.

The Madelinetosh Shawl Club is always a fan-favorite, and we're excited to bring it back this year! Featuring Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light + Tweed yarn, this club offers options for both knitters and crocheters to join in the fibery fun! The knit version of the 2021 Madelinetosh Shawl Club was designed by ChiWei Ranck (aka 1DogWoof) while the crochet version was dreamed up by Brittany Garber (aka KnotBadBritt). This club comes with custom shawl closures each month, surprising you with something small and delicate or big and bold to really make an eye-catching piece! You will also receive the pattern cards and yarn (pre-wound, nonetheless!) each month.

Have you ever wanted to tackle a blanket but didn't know where to start? By joining the 2021 Malabrigo Blanket Club, you will receive a full skein of Malabrigo Rios yarn each month to get a little bit closer to finishing by December - then you can curl up in it all winter long! It's a win-win! This project also comes with instructions for both crocheters and knitters out there in elegant and modern patterns! The knit designer is Jenise Hope (aka JeniseHopeKnits), and our crochet mastermind is Shelley Husband (aka Spincushions). Each month will gift you a coordinating stitch marker to keep track of your place and give you a little bit of eye candy as you work!
|
Needles and hooks required (not included): US 7 needles (at least 48") or a US size I-9 hook. Ship date: Between the 10th and 15th of each month.
Each club has the option to indulge in an ongoing monthly subscription (shipping included) or to pre-pay for the whole year! Each Jimmy Beans club arrives each month like a little gift you don't have to lift a finger to order - now that's easy!

What's the one thing we think about when we want to be warm and cozy? Wool, of course! Wool is like the heavyweight champion of the making world. Available in its purest form or blended with other things like alpaca or silk, we find amazing ways to incorporate wool into our everyday wear - bonus points if you managed to make your outfit (or at least parts of it) yourself!
The people at Woolfolk are masters of their craft, spinning wool so nicely that we can safely say it's the softest, most buttery wool we've ever held and made with in quite some time! Soft and lofty, Woolfolk yarn has managed to get its luscious fibers into our project bags - we swear we have no idea how it got in there, hehe! The airy skeins are addictive to squish, and if we could we would make a whole bed out of them!
Alas, that is nothing but a dream, but the next best thing is making a whole wardrobe out of their sumptuous strings because then we can stay cozy no matter where we are this winter season! We've curated a new collection of Woolfolk designs that are just itching to get on your needles before that first snowflake sticks!

From Farm (Twist) to Project!
One of our favorite things about going to a farm is seeing all of the cute animals and maybe being able to pet them! The coarse, wiry hair of the animals is always fun to touch, especially after knowing that blends of their coils lend themselves to some pretty soft fibers when spun together! We lament over the day we found out that sheep aren't always as soft as we think they are, but knowing what they're capable of brings us so much joy!
Speaking of wool, we recently got a shipment of Madelinetosh Farm Twist, and we just had to say, "moooove over, other yarns, we've got a hot date with some sumptuous, squishy strings!"
|
Madelinetosh Farm Twist is a hand-dyed masterpiece crafted mindfully and ethically with wool from South Africa. Farm Twist is made of two strands of Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light twisted together, providing excellent stitch definition and warmth and making this the perfect choice for larger project like blankets, sweaters, and anything else you can think of to keep toasty!
Each skein comes with 225 yards of coziness to cast on with and it softens with wear - it's like the gift that keeps on giving!

The Apple of our Eye!
Ah, it's the beginning of November, the leaves have fallen and are seriously crunchy underfoot, the smell of cinnamon seems to be everywhere, and it's finally time to start up the fireplace. Fall is in full swing, and we couldn't be more excited about picking pumpkins, running through corn mazes, and fresh apple pies we're going to be making!

Koigu knows how much we love this season and came up with a scrumptious colorway in their fantastic KPPPM base! Each skein of Koigu KPPPM Apple Crisp Collector's Club shade is hand-painted with love using various tones of mauve, pink, and ruby red with splatters of dark purple in there - talk about yummy!
This shade reminds us of being young, cooking in the kitchen with our mothers, and slicing up apples for the pie while she rolled out some freshly made dough on the counter - oh, how life was so much simpler back then!
|
Each skein comes with 175 yards of yarny goodness to wrap up in, making it the perfect sock and accessory yarn!

Adrienne's Accessories!
One of the things that make us feel as luxurious as our favorite yarn is our accessories! Shiny steel and hand-crafted wooden bits and bobbles always seem to catch our eye! With the new ILOVEHANDLES Knitting Necklace Needle Sizer, we can marry the worlds of knitting and jewelry in an eye-catching, modern way!
This pendant was lovingly crafted with us makers in mind with its understated style and holes that accommodate anywhere between a US 0 to a US 10 needle - we know exactly what is going into our jewelry box this fall!

Nothing is more annoying than being in that final stretch of your project and then finding out you're missing a key ingredient to this fiber-filled cake! You've just finished up your latest shawl and forgot your blocking wires! How are you supposed to wear it out when the ends are curling up? Fiber Dreams is here to solve that issue with new blocking wires!
Available in two different thicknesses, lace and worsted, you'll have the right wire no matter the project! Each set comes with 12 36" blocking wires for all of your finishing needs!

Just feel those needles knit-knittin' No, not tink-tinkin' back Come on, it's lovely weather to knit a cute scarf together with you! Now that Halloween is officially over (much to some people's dismay), we can charge full-steam ahead into Christmas! Oh, how we long for those crisp winter mornings of falling snow, curling up in cozy blankets, and getting out that space heater to keep our toes warm! There's something so nostalgic about the warmth that comes out of the season!
One of those nostalgic memories being brought up week after week is of a certain green man coming to try and ruin our Christmas! While he never seems to succeed, it's quite the image to have of your tree toppled over and presents haphazardly opened and tossed around the room - who does this Grinch think he is!?
This year, we were prepared and caught the little bugger on camera stealing our Craftvent projects! He was so jolly, grabbing our yarn and parading around in our scarves - this simply will not stand! He is now a wanted man amongst crafters everywhere! Keep your chimneys clear, and your doors locked because this man is green with envy - literally!

Project On Our Needles!
Rowan's Merino Aria Scarf
The wonderful people at Rowan are like the kings and queens of cozy! New from MODE at Rowan Soft Boucle & Merino Aria, they outdid themselves again with something squishy, soft, and above all, easy for all levels of maker out there! The chevrons are formed by purls, transforming this simple scarf into something eye-catching and chic! The pattern, while easy to work, will hold your interest, finishing off with fringe on each end for a splash of fun! This will defini-knit-ly be on our making list this winter!
This project is available as a kit on our site!
