Can you believe we are only a few days away from the start of spring?! After a very cold and wet winter at Jimmy Beans HQ we could not be more excited for feeling the sun shine down on us while we take in big breaths of the crisp air as we venture outside to knit and crochet. To start the season off right, we're picking up a yarn that blooms just as gorgeous as tulips and daffodils!

We were finally able to get our hands on La Bien Aimee Corrie Worsted and could not be more excited to share these skeins with you!

With a magical mix of Falkland Corriedale and Gotland Wool this yarn is our top pick for our next sweater WIP! Offering 250 yards per hank this beautiful blend of non-superwash yarn fantastically flourishes when wet blocked without growing at all.

Available in 20 of La Bien's most delicious tonal colors, designer's everywhere have fallen in love with the fibers of Corrie Worsted! From Stephen West's Dustland sweater and Andrea Mowry's Andrea cardigan, we're having a tough time choosing what we will knit first!

Waiting can be tough but it always is worth it! We recently got a huge box unloaded at our warehouse and all of our Beans let out a squeal once we saw what was inside. For the last two years we've been sitting on hooks and needles to get our hands on Malabrigo Caracol and it is officially BACK!!

This thick-and-thin single-ply yarn is truly one-of-a-kind! If you haven't worked with Caracol before, this Superwash Merino wool is crisscrossed with binder thread and then kettle-dyed in Malabrigo's signature colorways!

Super bulky and cozy this yarn works up into a textured fluffy fabric that makes stylish hats and cowls for winter and snuggly afghans!

As fiber artists we are always on the search for new tools that make our projects go off without a hitch. We recently asked all of our Beans to share with us what accessories and notions that are constantly in their project bags, here are some of their favorites!

Our production princess Sam cannot knit a sweater without Minnie & Purl Strings. These flexible rubber cords fit snugly over the tip of your needle making it great for trying on your knitting without the need for waste yarn and darning needles!

Are you as coco for cocoknits as our Beans are!?! From their handy Maker's Board, tape measure, stitch markers, and their Sweater Care Collection it is hard for us to resist buying it all!

Marketing mavens Julia and Amelia are in agreement that the della Q Scissor Pockets are THE only way to carry little snippers on the go! They're also big fans of cute notions to add a little bit of fun to their projects including Katrinkles Stitch Markers and Lantern Moon Measuring Tapes!

If you are looking to make weaving in your ends a more delightful experience, our inventory icon, Cassidy, is in love with Clover's Chibi Tapestry Needles!

Make your projects just that easier to see and read. Yarn concierge, Arlene, recommends getting a roll of Highlighter Tape so you can mark up your pattern to your heart's content. We recommend adding in a Crazy Cat Designs EZ PZ Gauge Ruler that magnifies your stitches to make counting gauge well... EZ PZ!!

Nicole's Aina Blanket

Our Bean, Nicole, is welcoming her friend's baby into the world with a cuddly crocheted blanket made with love! She created this ombre blanket using the stunning skeins of Scheepjes Whirl and Whirlette! The Aina Blanket designed by K.A.M.E Crochet features a gorgeous texture that results in a beautiful fabric that is not too holey so baby can stay warm!
