A leprechaun friend recently made a stop by Jimmy Beans Wool HQ early to make sure our team was prepped with all of the luckiest of projects ahead of his big holiday!

He was certainly impressed by the immense amount of green yarn he found while visiting our warehouse and was even more tickled by the Shamrockin' Knits Kits our production team had put together!

Prevent those pesky pinches this St. Patrick's Day with Amy Gunderson's Top Of The Mitten To You Mitts! What looks like an ordinary pair of fingerless mitts turn festive when you hold your hands side by side to form a lucky four leaf clover!

In this kit you will find one skein of Madelinetosh DK in the color Horror Hostess, along with a cake of Urth Monokrom DK in the greenest of greens and a download code for the pattern!

Whether you want to match your mitts or get your green on subtly, the Shortie Shamrock Socks will help you accomplish either! Covered with cute clovers, this pretty pair is exactly what you need on your needles this March.

This kit includes one skein of Madelinetosh Sock in Horror Hostess, along with a cake of Urth Monokrom Fingering in the same green-y hue as the Mitts, and a download code for Amy's sock pattern!

Tosh Pairs: Water

As a New Year's celebration, we gave one last hoorah to the soft and silky skeins from Shibui Knits with the MT x Shibui 2023 Collection. To keep the spirit of the stunning maritime palette alive, the hue heroes at Madelinetosh put together a fresh interpretation using Tosh Impression!

Tosh Pairs: Water combines the beloved nautical themed Tosh Merino Light colors with the mohair silk skeins of Impression, dyed to match the original shades of Silk Cloud, making this collection a whole lot more Tosh!

All six pairs are now available and can be found in the one-of-a-kind kits created for the original collection!

Creating a fade in your knit and crochet pieces can be so satisfying and eye catching! However, it can be a bit intimidating to create your own when you are staring at all the color options available to you. Last year, when we first introduced you to the artful fades provided by La Bien Aimee, you all fell in love with how effortlessly each color blended into the next!

We're excited to let you know we now have two more fade options to add to your wish list this winter! The Ciel d-Orage Fade takes the prettiest of pinks and fades them into dark moody blues! Our Vintage Grellow Fade offers a sunny approach to this technique combining happy yellows with polished grays and pinks!

From neon brights to neutral colorways, there are a plethora of La Bien Aimee Fade kits for you to add to your project bag that will fit your style! Did we mention these kits are also 20% off?!

Need(le) some inspiration for your skeins of La Bien? Hot off the presses, Aimee Gille herself has curated a sequel to the best-selling pattern book Worsted!

Neons and Neutrals features 16 designed from 16 talented designers to create an eclectic collection of patterns! Combining yarn across brands to create unexpected pieces offering pops of bright colors with neutral aspects.

Amelia & Elizabeth's Paw-ty Hats

February is for pet paw-ties! Our Beans, Amelia and Elizabeth, recently celebrated the birthdays of their fur babies and knew they had to crochet them special party hats for the occasion! Both Beans used Repeat Crafter Me's Mini Party Hat Pattern to achieve these looks for their pets.

Amelia had received a yarn ball toy for her cat, Coodie, and decided to unwind it to create a party hat fit for a kitty! We recommend using Tosh Vintage in the colors Electric Rainbow or You Do You to achieve this colorful look!

Elizabeth thought the soft colorful hues of Texas Tulips matched Churro's fur perfectly! By using a Madelinetosh Unicorn Tail, she was able to scale this pattern down to fit her bun's head! (She even added little ear straps!)
