Good news on the Mars Red (my second favourite TB colour), not so good news on the Icon. Oh well. Thanks for the update.

You'll probably start to see some messaging on this in the coming weeks, and the bag looks great.

When you have a moment, since there's a TB/Knitty contest up on their site for input for a new/future fibre crafts bag, what's the expectation for continued availability of the Swift and Little Swift?

Was the T45 ever been produced in the color combo, and I just missed it? If so, any chances of it being restocked?
Açai is such a rich colour, eh? The fabric showed up late December 2022 and they ran through it pretty quickly. Per the 17 February 2023 Inside the Factory blog update, they stated that all the fabric had already been "committed to production" for this lot of material, but they haven't shared what items may still be made that haven't been.
I only recall the Black & Deep Blue in the T45 (which are still available) but don't know for certain, so you could always check in with the fine folks in Customer Service.
You could add it to the wish list thread and also comment on the blog post where they were asking if folks wanted more

They've been working on a bunch of system updates and may not catch your post. The fastest way to get an answer is to email Customer Service... And then here on the Forums, be sure to tag MikeV

Is it just me or is constellation blue darker than how it appears on the storefront? I just received a swatch of it with an order and the color is darker than I expected. I was wondering if there was a chance that I got a different color lol. It looks darker than pics I saw of other items on the forum too.
What’s funny is I was going back and forth between that and Wilderness Green for my MCB but I chose the green because I thought Constellation might be too bright - like closer to Logic Blue. Now that I see it, it doesn’t stand out that much.

Constellation is basically French Blue to me. It's definitely not as dark as Deep Blue or Navy.
ETA: Here's a photo showing Island 210 ballistic E/TC upper left and Constellation 525 ballistic Icon lower left, both sitting on a Logic 630 Recycled Swift

Now that I think about it, even the Cobalt Blue interior of the Wilderness MCB is darker than I expected it to be.
I was expecting Constellation to be something like a Grabber Blue mustang if that puts it in perspective.

Yeah - it seems like it would be halfway between Deep Blue and Logic Blue. I’ve seen a lot of people mention French Blue and assumed that was closer to Logic Blue.

I think I discovered part of the culprit - that I was trying to do this on a cloudy day. I pulled out an island ghost whale pouch that I have and it was also darker than usual. I guess I underestimated how much of an impact a cloudy day could have - even indoors.

I would follow the source links given in the posts in that thread to view more pictures under different lighting conditions, since that thread used pictures extracted from other sources to display how the 11” iPad Pro (in an oversized cache) fits into the Icon (original version in Logic Blue; revised version in Constellation ).
