Knitting Bag - "are we there yet?"

You might be seeing this in the next month or two. Stay tuned.

Thanks Darcy! I'll definitely check back.

is it possible to get a lighter pattern of dyneema?

Currently, we have our Dyneema fabric made for us in Steel/White Ripstop. The ripstop is always white, but the grey part can be made in pretty much any color we want. We tried out quite a few colors before settling on the Steel color. We found it impossible to find a color that would match (or at least wouldn't clash with) the exterior colors that we use that most people would like or at least find inoffensive. Maybe someday we'll have two colors of Dyneema fabric!

I hate to bury this thought in this thread but I think in general all bags should have the option for a bright color on the inside. I never really thought about it but it does help tremendously with packing and finding items when the interior is something other than traditional black.

A lighter color version of dyneema?

Darcy,

This isn't strictly just about the interior of the Swift, but in instances such as the Swift and the Aeronaut, where the interior color is determined by the same material that is used for the outside of the bag except for some dyneema lining or pockets, is it possible to get a lighter pattern of dyneema? The pattern generally works well for the packing cubes, and goes with a wide variety of solid colors, but for more contrast, as Seed mentions, it would be nice to have a lighter interior sometimes.

Do you plan to offer any solid color Swifts? I love the bag but not the color combinations. For a knitting bag a light interior is essential - the gray is OK but it just doesn't look good with many of the outside colors. I'd love to see a bag with a lighter interior (maybe Wasabi) and a single, contrasting color exterior.

Color suggestions are welcome, but we can't do one-off custom colors. We'll consider Black/Plum for the next batch (early 2008)!

I understand that the plum/steel is available mid November. Is it possible to order a bag with a different, but similar, color combination? Say black/plum?

I stopped by the store today and saw the swift in person, and I was really impressed. Just a great bag.

Regardless, I was mighty impressed with the bag.

That's a pretty awesome-looking bag right there, and this is coming from a non-knitter! TB & crew does it again!!!

Yipee!!!
It's a beauty!
thanks Darcy & Tom.

Also: someone here had the great suggestion of making the Yarn Stuff Sack available for purchase separately from the Swift because even those who aren't knitters will find use for it. Or because some knitters may want to purchase extra stuff sacks. So here it is -- the Yarn Stuff Sack!

FYI: We will soon have a version of the Yarn Stuff Sack that has a clear vinyl bottom.

Yes...I'm putting the finishing touches on the page right now.

Thank you! (You know the picture descriptions are currently from the Ruck's Sac, right?)

[Darcy]

Has a price been set for these bags yet?

$70.

You can take a sneak peak at the bag (and even order one) now. I just need to add a few more pictures of the Swift (the knitting bag) to the page and then it will be ready for debut!
