Hi, I’m Jael! 🧶

I’m fifteen, and I live in Englewood, Colorado with my parents, my four sisters, and my two brothers.

My mom taught me to knit when I was six. My dad wears beanies just about every day, so I started making him one every year for his birthday. He loved them so much that one Christmas he surprised me with a Sentro knitting machine, so I could make beanies faster and with fewer mistakes — and that’s really how Jaely Beanie began.

When I make a beanie, I start by walking to my local yarn store, Blazing Star Ranch, just a mile from my house. All of their yarn is hand-dyed, and I pick out the very softest skein I can find. Then, while I knit, I pray for the person the beanie is for. Every single one is made with care — and with someone specific in mind.

The name? When I was a baby, my parents sometimes called me “Jaely Bean.” So when I started my little company, Jaely Beanie was a pretty obvious choice.

Thank you so much for being here and for supporting my beanies. I can’t wait to make one just for you.
