Our Knitting Goods Pre-order will be open from Tuesday 2/22 7:00am PST until Tuesday 3/1 at 3:00pm PST* and have an estimated shipping date of late April. Want to see everything that'll be available for pre-order in one spot? Visit the Knitting Goods Collection

Here is the full list of designs that will be available for pre-order:

 

Swift in Original 400 Halcyon/Solaris 200
Little Swift in Seapine 630/Sangria Cerylon
Swift in Verde 1050/Ultraviolet 200
Medium Clear Bottom Yarn Stuff Sack in Ultraviolet 200


New to pre-orders?

They work like this: you order it, we sew it in Seattle. You can cancel your pre-order or change the shipping address up until three days before it ships. Check out our Pre-Order FAQ or ask in the comments (you'll be notified via email when we respond!)

You're welcome to order in-stock bags and restocked bags along with your pre-order. You can also place additional orders and add bags to your held pre-order up until a few days before it ships (we'll send you an email heads-up about that!). Our default is to hold those bags and ship them with your pre-order once it's ready. If you'd like the in-stock bags to ship sooner, either place a separate order for those or, once the order is placed, log in to your TOM BIHN account to choose to have in-stock items shipped right away.

Already have a pre-order in place for the Yeoman or Le Petit Derriere? You're welcome to add any of the Knitted Goods pre-order items to your existing pre-order. We will ship everything to you in one shipment once all pre-order items are ready.

 

*Back in January, we mentioned that we may have to set pre-order limits on certain 200d Halcyon colors, due to a delay in receiving Halcyon shipments. Well, believe it or not, this same shipment of Halcyon that we originally anticipated to receive back in December is still waiting to be released from the port! There are also more shipments of Halcyon on the way from Japan, but the timeline to getting them to the factory is unclear. We are hopeful that the supply chain slowdowns will resolve themselves and that our Halcyon supply will be steady again soon enough. Until then, we will be monitoring sales closely. In the event that we believe we have sold the maximum for a color, we will have to close the pre-order early for that specific color. 

**You might be wondering why our Tall Yarn Stuff Sack did not make it into the pre-order. Tall Yarn Stuff Sacks use quite a lot of Halcyon for a Stuff Sack; we decided we need to err on the side of caution and conserve the Halcyon we have onsite so we're able to make the Swift, Little Swift, Small and Medium Yarn Stuff Sacks, and all of the other designs we make on a regular basis as well.  Once our supply of Halcyon is steady again, we hope to offer the Tall Yarn Stuff Sack... hopefully late this year? We'll see!

So glad to hear that! We love the Taiga / Moab combo a lot!

Even though I am not a knitter, I am excited for a few of these items that have other uses as well. Question: Are the slots in the new version of the tool/pen wrap any larger than the ones in the original tool/pen wrap? I have been hoping the new wrap would be better for carrying thicker markers.

Hi Shep! Thank you! We’ve also found the Swift, Little Swift, and all the
accessories helpful for so much beyond just knitting purposes. The slots in
the tool / pen wrap are the same as in the original version.

I’m doing the happy dance!!! I have 3 yarn stuff sacks and use a ghost snake organizer for a few things – tape measure, stitch markers, stitch holder. Might have to get the tool pouch and pen wrap anyway! And finally indulge in a swift. Thank you thank you THANK YOU on this grey (again) Seattle day!!!

Yay! We’re excited too and would love to hear which Swift you end up with!
