So so fun having you in the shop and touring around the store!! Thank you for giving others a glimpse into who we are and how we operate. We had so much fun!!
Thank YOU for hosting me! We had the best time too!
Their store is HUGE. Laura has built a yarnie empire, not just a yarn shop. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I always thought there was something special about Jimmy Beans Wool, but had never heard the whole story. Thanks!
I loved hearing her story and how everything came together for her … love that she went from a tiny little storefront to being such a powerhouse in the industry. So amazing and inspiring.
Shopping at Jimmy Beans Wool is on my bucket list for 2025. Thank you
This was so much fun to watch. Within minutes, I was trying to figure out how to convince the family that we need to drive thru Reno on our way home from California at Christmas
Jimmy Beans has some of the best customer service I’ve experienced. Last year I got back into knitting after a long hiatus. I’d forgotten how much I loved knitting and have been obsessed since I picked the needles back up. I wanted to treat myself to a full set of Chiagoo interchangeables and ordered them from Jimmy Beans. I got a call from them the day after I ordered to confirm that I placed the order because it was a bigger ticket item. I was so impressed that they took the time to double check. The customer service rep even chatted with me about the needle set, after I told her how excited I was about them, she was so sweet! I love my needle set and the service they provided, when I use my needles I think about that phone call and the sweet woman on the other end of the call. Thanks Jimmy Beans! I hope to see your store in person someday and I’m bringing my old Vogue Knitting magazine where I first saw your ad so many years ago and I’m having Gus sign it, because he’s just too awesome. If Jimmy is around, I would love her to sign it too, she revolutionized the way we buy knitting supplies and yarn.
We can't even begin to explain what this comment means to us!! Thank you for sharing your experience and keeping up with us all these years later - we're just so honored!! Please come visit us soon. Gus would love to say hello and Jimmy would be happy to meet :)
There is nothing to say but WOW. Thank you Natalie and Kent
Loved this video! I’ve ordered from Jimmy Bean’s regularly for many years & it’s really cool to see where my stuff comes from. Hopefully I’ll make it to their store sometime for a visit!
OMG!! Natalie! I would have been in heaven taking that tour! Thanks to you and those nice folks for the tour! Stay safe ❤
This was absolutely fascinating. Loved everything about Jimmy Beans and this yarn empire history.
What an amazing store, I love how everything was laid out and I especially loved how knowledgeable they were while showing you around, you could really see their love of yarn. Brilliant how the name came about too I love that it's Laura's nickname
That was really cool. I had no idea they were such an innovative and forward thinking company. And their Reno location is awesome!
As a fellow Todd Snider fan, I was really excited to learn that connection. . .JBW is my first LYS from when I lived in Reno ten years ago. Congrats on all the success! Go get you one of them blue plastic pools, you deserve it!
It's so cool to see the shop I've been buying from for ages! And the space! Living in NYC, we don't get a fraction of this kind of display space. They have the shop set up beautifully. What a treat! ❤
WoW! Pretty freakin’ amazing! What a powerhouse of a lady. Good for her!
Thank you for the tour KnittyNatty
I remember the first shop in Truckee that was right next to the train station. Our knitting group went on one of Laura’s first retreats at Feather River Inn, so we made stop at her store on the way. It was a lot of fun and has been interesting watching her grow throughout the years. Great interview.
Yay Gus! What a great tour and interview! Thank you for visiting our city!
I always thought Jimmy bean was from the movie Pollyanna😂It was great to hear the real story. Thank you so much for the tour it was an amazing trip!
This video makes me love Jimmy Bean even more! I feel like I need to place another order!!
Loooove the tour! What an amazing store! The amount of yarn on display is staggering when you consider there’s only one of each color!
Holy Toledo! Jimmy Beans looks like a yarny paradise!😍 Great tour and interview!
Wow, what an amazing woman. With that kind of energy, people will always be successful. Greetings from Belgium
Thanks for the tour. I’ve ordered online from Jimmy Bean’s for many years and always received my order in 2 to 3 days. Enjoyed seeing where my orders come from.
Dream tour. Beautiful store! Loved your guide, his demonstration hands and movements. You can tell he’s proud of their store, and loves what he does. That whole team is awesome. That’s a place I would love to work…well duh, there’s yarn! But what an amazing rise in business!
WOW! All that YARN!!! That was such a great tour and interesting interview! I had heard of Jimmy Beans Wool from googling, but had no idea of the different yarns carried etc. I thoroughly enjoyed your video from beginning to end!
What an amazing story. Such a success. Have you thought of making knitting needles? Signature arts just retired and closed. The BEST needle ever
I love this! First learned to knit(Zephyr Cove NV 85') stopped in Jimmy Beans Truckee for coffe once and still shop Jimmy Beans. Keep sharing your travels ❤ be safe and well.
This was fantastic! I was already a Jimmy Beans Wool fan, but this video made me love them even more. Such a cool company, story, facility, selection, and staff. Thank you so much for taking us along!
I am an affiliate for Jimmy Beans Wools. I knew that had a LOT of nice yarn and products, but I had no idea how large the business was. Total yarn heaven. Thanks for the great tour!
I am so glad you did this interview. Not at all what I expected and such a neat story.
Such an amazing business! The store looks incredible and I love how broad their services are. Gus seems like the perfect front man. 👏
Definitely will be checking their website.
Gus was so great! So happy you enjoyed it!
So interesting and what fun to take tour. Quite the impressive space and great story!!
Always stop at JB wool when I visit my daughter in NV. I live in CA so I go through Reno. It’s Amazing
I’m not a big fan of yarn store tours but this one was very interesting. Jimmie’s story was so very cool.
I must get to this store !!
It’s now been added to my bucket list. Such a massive selection of any yarn or accessory you might want for fiber art. I love the large samples for reference of drape and color.
Such a great interview and tour. I have been on Jimmy Bean’s site but have not bought anything because didn’t find the online shopping experience great. Did not know they acquired Della q and Madelinetosh - can’t wait for their new site to launch - Laura was a great interview. Thanks Natalie
Thank you ~ great episode! Have ordered from JB and done an accessory club. But a life highlight was going there to see Arne & Carlos. It was a good match because both Arne & Carlos and staff at Jimmy Beans were incredibly generous ❤ . Coming from Tucson I was a bit jealous of the locals but they do a great job with mail order too.
This video was great. Jimmy Bean is in my area. Love their store and website. Thanks for sharing.
I love all the options here!!! Wow ❤🧶💫 wish I lived there 😁
Amazing store!
I want to work at Jimmy Beans!
Wonderful interview!
Good gravy! You have willpower lady! What an incredible store and tour. As a former entrepreneur, my hat goes off to Laura because she has done something incredible. I’d love to know what you bought, because there’s no way you didn’t come home empty handed bc you’d have to have worn blinders.
What an amazing store and fabulous tour Natalie. Really enjoyed the interview.
Great interview! It’s great to get to know Jimmy and the Beans :)
Loved this episode! I recently moved to Nevada so I need to take a roadtrip to Reno and pay Jimmy Beans a visit too!
What an incredible experience-thank you!
What a great tour and interview!
This was an awesome tour! Thank you!
What a great interview and tour.
Great interview! You have motivated me to visit next time I'm in Tahoe 😊
We would love to have you come visit!!
What an awesome store 🧶🧶🧶🤗
Laura is the best story teller!
Wow amazing. Definitely will hav to remember the Mad May deal. Thanks for the tour
Great video-the interview was priceless
So interesting! I learned so much about Jimmy Beans! Such a great success story!!
Wow!!! This store and Laura's businesses look and sound amazing. I couldn't believe all the different beautiful yarns. Just beautiful. Thankyou for showing us Natalie and Kent. Enjoy back being on the road again soon.
Another great video Natalie. I see they sell Hedgehog Fibers yarn from Ireland. I worked with that to make a reversible cable scarf. I did the same scarf in Rios yarn as well.
I have enjoyed your travels and the tours and interviews you have done along the way. This is the best so far and what a genius Jimmy is. Thank you for asking the best questions and Kent for the awesome filming he does.
I love that he knows everything about the yarn!!! So informative he should really be working more than 2 days a week!!! I would love to see him this store for myself
Love, love, love JBW! The yarn lines are sooo extensive and the employees are smart and fabulous. So lucky that this is my local yarn store. 🧶❤️
Jimmy Bean's wool is one of the most beautiful yarn stores I've ever seen! I am shocked. I am going to Webs next month for the first time and compared to Webs (based on their website and yarn selection) I'd much rather shop at Jimmy bean's wool. Jimmy Beans has more yarns that I would much rather buy than what Webs offers. I'm actually disappointed in Webs selection for being America's largest yarn store. You would think their selection of yarns would be much. Jimmy bean's has Webs beat hands down. I've never been to Jimmy beans, I'm just watching the video but boy if I could get to Nevada, I'd go to Jimmy Bean's real quick.What a beautiful store!!!!! I will definitely consider them for my next online yarn purchase.
I've never been to Webs before! I'm hoping to go when we travel to the northeast. I think since Jimmy Beans started out as a retail shop, they have a great sense of the current market.
Amazing shop Natalie!
Great interview s
So many yarns !

Huge store and warehouses. The podcast was great, so informative and fun. Thanks Natalie! I've been watching your channel for years.
Wow! What a great interview and tour. One of your best to date. So, so interesting. I could listen to Laura (aka Jimmy) all day. She is amazing in what she and her team have accomplished. Kudos to you and Kent on a great video.
Laura is a very interesting and amazing woman. I would go nuts in her store.
Amazing tour! I have nothing but fabulous things to say about my interactions with and many purchases from Jimmy Beans Wool!!
My LYS!!!
Just wow, I did not know about these guys. Will have to follow them!
Natalie, this was a great tour. I would so love to visit this store and Jimmy’s (Laura) story was so very interesting. Thanks for a great job on this tour- thanks to Kent also!
Jimmybeans in Reno is one of my all time favorite yarn shops! they have so man y amazing yarns and the ambience of the store is fantastic!
That is amazing!! We loved it there too!
I'll be there in August ! A birthday gift to me from me !
What an incredible story! I love that the shop started very small and has snowballed into the yarny experience it is today. Congratulations on your success.🧶
Jimmy Beans is my go-to online yarn shop!
Fantastic interview with Laura!!
Aw man you came to Reno and I didn’t get to meet you!!! I live like 3 mins away from Jimmy Beans :D
I am in Reno today! I always stop here when I’m traveling around. Sorry I missed Arne and Carlos!
I have to say, I really don’t like the new “showroom” style of the shop. It’s so much easier for me to grab and carry what I want to the cashier, than to have to keep telling someone, “I want three of this, and five of this”. And then if you change your mind they have to go back to the warehouse again to swap out what you thought you wanted to begin with. They were very busy that day and lots of back and forth. And the day I was there, I was heavy duty shopping and some items I had chosen were not in my bags when I got home. Although I was not charged for those, it was just a bit annoying. So I’m going to keep shopping when I go through Reno but I also order online with just as much satisfaction. It’s not the same, going to the store anymore. Not like it used to be.
Wow, I could be in there for days!
Right?!
Awesome store 🏬.
Hello from Swansea, Illinois.
I'm probably preaching to the choir here:
Not all Regia yarn is Arne&Carlos yarn! The one Natalie had in her hand during the video wasn't. Those which are have A&C's photo and signature on the ball band :-)
Cool Beans. 😊 Lovely interview.
😍
Love Unicorn Tails 😊 how cute is that ?? 🩷🌈🧶
Thank you for this amazing tour of JBW! How much yarn did you leave with ?!😂😂
I used to go there when it was in Truckee, California. Bought my first Addie Needles there.
Oh wow! That’s so amazing!
Wonderful store! I wish I lived there. There was an Afghan draped over the sofa that you were sitting on when you were interviewing Jimmy. Can you please find out what the pattern is? It looks like it had white granny squares and I don't know what the other blocks are? They're different colors and a different pattern. Can you please find out what this pattern is?
I have searched for that crochet blanket pattern. It’s so pretty! Did you find it or get an answer?
Great tour and amazing business. But wondering if Laura has moved beyond knitting scarves?!
Was that edit about marriage and business partners a hint at something?!?!?! 😂
Loved the video of the store and warehouses. How can I get my hands on a ring of minis Gus showed you.
I found the listing! They are pricey though. I think it's as lot of work to make 150 tiny minis!

@@KnittyNatty Thanks Natalie for the link to the minis. Maybe I can throw out a few hints to my husband and son, I want this for my birthday next month.
How much was the suitcase for yarn? I had a suitcase once like that
And needless to say holder?
Did I miss this?? Do she knit?
She said she started knitting six months before she he first store and the store guy said she designed at least one of the blankets
Not just a store, an EXPERIENCE! Wow. 🧶🥰🌻
