Grayson E Beaded Purse HandlesJimmy Beans
Jimmy Beans Wool
(877) JBW-KNIT (US only) • jimmybeanswool.com

When you see these beaded purse handles, you’ll face a minor, but easily solved, dilemma. You’ll have to decide on a color and size! Consider purchasing the yarn and pattern before choosing your handles, but it might be tempting to do the opposite. Pick the handles you like best, find yarn, and create a project to go with them. Handles come in sets of two, with two size options. The large handles are 6” tall and 61⁄2” wide, but can be stretched to 5” tall and 10” wide when attached (a longer, lower curve). The small size is 41⁄2” tall and 7” wide and can also be stretched a bit if needed. There are many color choices. You’ll find bright, bold, and colorful handles along with more muted ones. What makes these handles unique are the handmade, carefully polished polymer beads paired up with resin, acrylic, and sometimes wood beads for a unique, upscale look. Three of our favorites sets are Basketweave, Blue Jean Baby, and Mermaid.
