Okay, so this is not an affiliate links post, I'm getting absolutely no credit from Jimmy Beans for posting this. This was the first time I've ever ordered a mystery grab bag of any kind [and I've had zero luck with mystery projects...] so I thought I'd post my thing. It's sort of like opening Christmas. I ordered the grab bag because A. it was on sale [41% off!] and B. I was ordering some wool sample balls for another project. So, why not.
If you live on the west coast, Jimmy Bean's is in Nevada, so it would probably come faster than three days - AND I'M NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT TURN AROUND. They offer free shipping on orders $75 or more every day, so when I order, I try to order $75 of yarn, but this time I had a free shipping coupon code. Yay coupons.
Also, they have great customer service. Which I feel is important for e-commerce.
The mystery bag promised
400g of yarn, a couple notions, a project bag, and a pattern.

400g of yarn, some notions, and a project bag delivered.
Obviously, not pictured is the pattern.
Honestly, I probably never would have ever bought cable needles or a wool soak. And I usually make my own project bags, but it's a nice little project bag, and I'll keep it because it's making a direct knitting reference. I'm glad they were upfront about the fiber content - the website says primary fiber is wool, and then where it says specific fiber: varies [this isn't just for the mystery color bag, it's for all of them]. I was a little dubious, fearing that I would get a bag of exclusively wool+acrylic blends, but as soon as I saw the Madelinetosh I knew it wasn't so. I'm a self-proclaimed fiber snob and I was kind of hoping I'd have a bag of exclusively 100% wool to work on this other project I've got, but no matter. The wool blends will be used for charity projects, probably cowls.
