↳ The brief

Jimmy Beans Wool is a leading online brand and community destination for knitting, crochet, and crafting enthusiasts. Yarns are not conventional retail products: hundreds of color variations, detailed material specifications, and customers who plan whole projects before they buy. Uncap migrated the store from its custom platform to Shopify Plus and rebuilt it around the crafting community: product pages presenting 100+ variants, a knitting and crochet calculator wired to product recommendations, static and configurable project kits, Seal Subscriptions, Smile.io loyalty with reward balances migrated, and Klaviyo running the full lifecycle.

01 A community of makers

The Who

Jimmy Beans Wool is a leading online brand and community hub for knitting, crocheting, and crafting enthusiasts. Focused on empowering creativity and connecting crafters through high-quality products and resources, the company offers a comprehensive range of yarns, needles, patterns, and kits.

02 A catalog too complex for the cart

The Problem

Unlike conventional retail products, yarns carry hundreds of color variations, detailed material specifications, and real inventory complexity. Customers needed tools to plan projects, calculate material quantities, and purchase complete kits containing multiple components, and the migration had to preserve customer relationships, historical orders, reviews, loyalty points, gift cards, and subscriptions.

03 Built for crafters

The Solution

Uncap rebuilt the storefront on Shopify Plus around the way crafters shop: rich product pages presenting more than 100 variants with color swatches, specifications, and video reviews, on specialized templates for yarn, needles, patterns, kits, and subscriptions. A custom knitting and crochet calculator connects material calculations to product recommendations, static and configurable kits handle components and inventory, Seal Subscriptions powers recurring purchases, Smile.io runs loyalty with existing reward balances migrated, and customers manage their own subscriptions and wishlists.

04 Stitched together

The Results

Products, customers, historical orders, reviews, loyalty points, subscriptions, and blog content all moved to Shopify with Matrixify and structured product data supporting the migration. Klaviyo covers the full lifecycle, welcome emails, abandoned-cart and browse-abandonment recovery, post-purchase flows, back-in-stock notifications, and product reviews, on a storefront designed around how crafters discover products, plan projects, and purchase materials.
