In 2002, while we were trying to figure out a name for our new, crazy adventure (a yarn shop!), 'Jimmy' was a clear choice. 'Beans' was added since we sold coffee in our original location (in Truckee, California), and 'Wool' because, well... :)! Since then, the yarn has overrun the store, the coffee is gone, we welcomed our son Huck (the heir to the mohair!) and we've grown to 75 employees... and still the name lives on!
