EPIC YARN HAUL! | Flock Fiber Festival 2024, Seattle [A Yarn Lover's Paradise]

[@Trashtronaut]

“Say my name, say my name” Your mom was so proud of herself. 😂 I love when y’all do videos together!!

[@walkinginwatercolourswithmicah]

ikr?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@EM-pt7ch]

Yaaasss!

[@nolamisskel]

I loved that so much. :)

[@fatimadunham395]

as someone who’s in the fiber community…and doesn’t have a relationship with their mom. i practically sobbed through this whole video. absolutely love your content with your mom and seeing moms and kids share interests. its healing

[@TLYarnCrafts]

Awwww darling! Don't worry, I'll share Mama Gwen with you. She everybody mama anyway :-) Sending you love and lots of hugs, sis. xoxo

[@helenejohansson3368]

I like your mom. She still has the child within her heart and a good Humor😂😂😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@leahhorton4818]

I was so happy to hear Mama Gwen mention Handspun Hope! I got to visit their facility in Rwanda and it was incredible! Such talent among those ladies -- carding, spinning, dying, knitting!

[@cassadibruce7648]

As my husband said about Seattle "this is the 'uphill both ways' our grandparents were always talking about " 😂 I was so blessed to get to meet you both and have my little Gwynnie meet Mama Gwen! It's insane that we went to the same festival and our hauls still managed to be very diverse, I'm already planning next year's trip! ❤

[@kimberlyrogers0804]

Your mom is absolutely beautiful! She looks young enough to be your sister. I love how much fun you guys have together. ❤️ Glad you’re feeling better too.

[@karenboreland9508]

I’d be around the same age. My skin on my décolleté is craggy and wrinkly (I’m Australian living in the heat and working outside). Gwen’s décolleté skin is like an incredibly young woman….stunning 🤯🥰😻💞

[@heathergunter3348]

“Say my name say my name” I don’t know what was better the way she chuckled after or the way you were unamused by your mom 😂😂😂 love the two of you together.

[@LoveAndPieces000]

Momma Gwen is a Rockstar! 🧑🏾‍🎤 I love her vibrant personality and humor. ❤️💕❤️💓

[@misslillie2940]

I love when you have your Mom with you! You have to understand that you’re our celebrity!

[@indiaaa1095]

Mama Gwen really tickled herself 😂😂 so glad y’all had a good time!

[@LilRedHead42]

"Knit, Love, Crochet" - I think we need that on some TLYC merch. ;) Thank you for showing off all your yarns! My stash is a bit overflowing so I'm trying not to buy anything, and I'm loving getting to see all the amazing things you get. Shopping vicariously with you two. :) So many pretties, but wow my eyes popped out at that green that Mama Gwen got. It would be neat to see a follow up someday with any of the finished projects. Thanks for taking us on your trip with you!

[@_maxgray]

MAMA GWEN IS BACK!!!

[@Ohitskelly]

I always feel so warm and comforted when I see and hear the two of you talk about your fun adventures together.

[@Christena1601]

Im from WA, im so glad you had a good time doing the tourist thing in Seattle. Your mom is a sweetheart, you can tell you are besties! ❤❤

[@ilaquinndesignsCo]

You cannot go incognito, Toni!!!! WE ALL KNOW THE QUEEN 🤩

[@MichelleSMITH-yu9wx]

I love these Daughter Momma Twins

[@kimlarsen4883]

Oh My it was just hot enough and you walked up 1st Avenue. That is a haul even if you are from Seattle. I am glad you went into that Army Surplus store, that one has lots of unique items. The best time to go to Pike place market. I used to shop at 8am and get out by 10_30am. The homeless has been going out of control for at least 10 years. I saw you with your Mom and the Black collective and you all were taking photos in your lovely crochet dress. I get shy but after watching this episode with Mom, I am sad I did not. I love your relationship. Makes me miss my mom who be gone for 22 years.

[@TKTS1409]

This sounds like it was a really fun experience! also all i could think about throughout this video is that you really get your warmth and honest kindness from your mom, beautiful! :3

[@KathleenStidham]

❤ I am so happy you enjoyed your visit to my corner of the world! I love when you are both talking and have different perspectives. Hopefully you’ll be back - late spring/early summer is so beautiful here!

[@PaulaJonesy]

No way is that your Mum! She’s so young and beautiful! Wow! ❤ love to you both from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@Cat_Rescuer]

Ms Toni, I'm so happy you're feeling well enough to go live! Much love from Southwestern Illinois ❤ Blessings to you & Momma Gwen 🙏🤗😊

[@deneekabarts1170]

I love these chats between you too. It makes me feel like I am a part of a crochet elite circle or crochet hot topic segment.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

This was soooooo much fun!! I watched every minute and love when Mama Gwen makes an appearance! ❤️ I also am a bag checker and had to pay $100 when I came home from H + H! 😂 I've also had the best pistachio tiramisu and it is my favorite dessert I've ever had! 🍮 Thank you so much for sharing all about Flock! I feel like I was there!!! ☀️

[@stacyb.222]

I ❤❤❤when U do your video with your Mom 🌹👑 🌹 Enjoy those special moments & watching her, doing her, Joy & Laughter.

[@TLYarnCrafts]

She's a bundle of happiness and lifts my spirits every time she's around. Thanks for watching!!

[@rachelraye285]

Love your video! As someone who met you both last year, I can totally understand the fan girl moments that occurred when people encountered you. You two are amazing and thank you for sharing your experience ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@beckyboles6605]

I love your interaction with your Momma! ❤❤❤

[@KitteeLane]

I love your mom's energy.

[@melodymalone4076]

I am sad I missed seeing y'all as I didnt know Flock Fiber was a thing as I havent done research into festivals in Seattle area. Im glad y'all are feeling better!! Also I recommend for anyone coming to visit Seattle, check out the Sorrento Hotel as its Seattles oldest hotel and worth going to visit by having dinner there or staying over.

[@phoenix06ke]

Mama Gwen is the sweetest ❤❤ and you both make an awesome pair, luv your duo videos!

[@Cat_Rescuer]

Happy Anniversary Mama Gwen!! 🍾🥂

[@vickishaw374]

I'm so glad KZbin suggested your podcast to me. You two are a HOOT!!! xoxo

[@Purpleyarnie]

Love your relationship with your mom. You are very fortunate to have that special bond. Love all the yarn😊

[@oriahorcajogarcia]

Your mom is the absolute best 😂 I love her

[@TLYarnCrafts]

Isn't she? Love that girl :-)

[@HannaPritchett]

I just started crocheting and I found your channel right away... you are now my favorite to watch while I crochet or with my coffee. I especially love these videos with you and your mama. It reminds me of my mom and I. ❤

[@othcrochetnook]

I love that your Mom is with you for these! So much fun! ❤

[@TLYarnCrafts]

She's the best - I'm just gonna have her run the channel now :-)

[@othcrochetnook]

@@TLYarnCrafts 🥰❤️😅

[@donnakosik7379]

I love it when you have your mom on.

[@lbmilam]

I want that dark green yarn that your mom got! ❤️ It is beyond gorgeous!!

[@sunnystitcher5400]

As for Pike Place crowds, weekdays in winter really is the best time to head down there. Not everything is always open, but there's breathing space and time to shop. So sad i couldn't be there Saturday to see y'all. I couldn't get the time off with though. Had a blast still there on Sunday.

[@lisamatthews2268]

I can tell where u beautiful bubbly life. Comes from. All comes from mama! Love it. Glad I found u on KZbin

[@Cat_Rescuer]

The colors!! My yarn bone is twitching 🧶🧶

[@julysanchez-sadowski7086]

Momma G-- I don't follow patterns either. I treat them like a recipe: a guide to use, not to follow. I trust my instincts in the kitchen and on my hooks.

[@Karrotboo]

My ten month old baby girl absolutely loves you two 🥰 I already had watched this video but it started automatically after something else and omg she was all smiles basically right away so I left it on for her.

[@kellyfindshouses]

I live in Juneau, Alaska and people come in from all over the world to see it. And no, we don't get used to it and we are grateful for such a beautiful place every day. Come by and visit 😘 And thank you for Made by Hailey Bailey! Never heard of her and I'm in absolute LOVE!!!

[@1preciouswoman]

I am loving watching your yarn adventures! More than that, I am so thankful that you two get to enjoy these times together. They are precious moments! Praying that you enjoy many, many more ❤

[@TLYarnCrafts]

from your comment to God's ears!! I really enjoy that mom and I can spend this time together, loving yarn and also sharing our experiences with others. Can't wait for the next trip!!

[@erinbritain]

Thank you for this!!! I got to live vicariously through you and experience Flock 😊 And I love the high, low, mid recap at the end! Perfect way to look back at a special trip.

[@mindysdiamondmoment]

Sounds like fun....welcome to the purple side💜💜💜

[@aneelab4803]

Hey Ms Toni and Ms Mama Gwen. Love your videos together ❤

[@kimberlyjansma8888]

Always LOVE both your energy.

[@superduper1329]

This was so cool, Seattle born and raised so i love hearing about how people experience my home town. Every time I see Mt Rainier i'm filled with awww. Thanks for sharing all the goodies and stories :)

[@yasminefranco3310]

Momma really said “copy & paste” when she made you! 😍😍😍😍 you two are twins! ❤❤

[@TLYarnCrafts]

She sure did! Our baby pictures might as well be the same person lol

[@deirdreevans5533]

I absolutely loved this video! Your mom is so fun. I love it when she incorporates her old school songs into the conversation 😅. This was a great experience sharing your trip with the both of you. Thanks for sharing 😊 May you continue to be blessed so that you can continue to bless us with your knowledge, skills and entertainment. 🫂🥰

[@sandyrinehart5566]

I love your Mom, you guys are great together. I love all your projects. ❤❤

[@angieanderson6082]

Thank you for sharing your experience with us all!! Happy anniversary to Mama Gwen and happy September birthday!! 🥳 I’m a September baby, too. 🥰

[@mindystewart792]

I love your video podcast of you and your Mom and thank you so much and sharing your Flock fiber festival yarn haul

[@mjbee2785]

Momma TL is so funny and beautiful and bright-eyed and regal. I’d like to be adopted by her. And those cheekbones are to die for. 😂 ❤

[@wendyryan4388]

Your mom is the best!!!

[@cerwelt]

Great video didn’t fast forward through one second. It was a great “armchair traveler”. Thanks for sharing everything.

[@ghoul4692]

oh my gosh you were in my neighborhood! I live up the road from Whisky West, I'm so happy you had a good time in West Seattle 😊😊😊😊

[@keyshaallen-oh2vu]

You guys got me through my beanie. Love listening to you ladies!

[@ArmyAngel_BTS]

I absolutely LOVE mama Gwen. Can I adopt her? She reminds me of my momma so much. 🙏🏾🥹💜

[@joyatodd]

Ladies, you put a smile on my face that lasted the entire episode. Thank you for having breakfast with me in NZ.

[@heycathey1593]

Mom is ungovernable and I am here for it. You both bring more joy to my life than I can say. (And beautiful yarn-y crafty ideas -- thank you!)

[@saracarlson-kringle]

LOL! BEST INTRO EVER!

[@jacquelinerichardson2240]

You two picked out some gorgeous yarn!!! I can’t wait to see what you make!

[@lisawierzbicki4994]

Oh my, oh my!! Was that fun!?! Toni and Gwen, I just loved watching this! The bouncing off of each other about chicken fingers, dyers' names, and paperbag looking jellyfish! Of course, the best parts were the yarn hauls, the "caught in the wild" photos of cool patterns that people were wearing, and just seeing what a great festival FLOCK seems to be! Looking forward to meeting you both at Cakepalooza! I'll be the one in the colorful wheelchair, with crocheted and knitted flowers all over the back of my "ride"!!🌻💮🥀

[@dorachavez1886]

Please keep me posted on Mom's progress in her use of a pattern. So glad she decided to put that book to good use. I love living vicariously through you and experience all this thanks to you.

[@favoritemommy74]

Love your mom! Love when she joins you! ❤

[@carriejohnson1228]

Sounds like an epic trip...love you both!

[@Sweetaswine604]

Love from North Carolina ❤ Hi Toni & Mrs. Gwen!

[@marialitsas6502]

Watching you and your Mom recap Flock is giving me life today. Plus all the haul. :) ❤

[@kimberlydickinson2333]

I was listening taking a peak at yarns. Now , I need to go back through and take notes of yarn names and stores. Wow. So fun!

[@suzannestaples2844]

I enjoy, so much, when you have your mom on your videos. The two of you are so much fun to watch together! Momma Gwen has that loving, keep-it-real momma vibe. Thank you, Toni, for sharing about Flock. I have a niece who lives not far from Seattle. Like her mom (my twin sister) and me, she is a crochet enthusiast. Keep up the good work! I enjoy the channel!

[@wandering_in_the_woods]

I absolutely love your mama and her energy when she’s in videos ❤ worked on my daisy/flower granny squares

[@EverythingBekka]

I'm glad you are feeling better

[@PandoraMorrell]

My goodness I just love you both ❤ I was having a really bad day and you both just make it so much better ❤

[@Saritafaye86]

It was so nice hearing about your adventures in Seattle. I moved away from WA less than a year ago and miss it terribly. I mean the views are spectacular and I’m glad you and your mom got to experience it.

[@ilovethegoddessshop]

LOVE MAMA GWEN!!!🥰

[@lorraineprice3858]

What a video what a video what a video I love from the beginning to the end I didn't do any laundry I didn't watch TV I watched the video because I love when you and your mom is together and doing a video so I didn't want to miss anything I watched from beginning to end some amazing beautiful yarns I'm glad you guys had a wonderful time together I wish my mom was here so we could do stuff like this yesterday made 15 years that she's gone home to Glory I miss her but I know she's in a better place I know God got her so thank you guys for this video ❤️

[@aprilhallman9362]

Loved the first 26 secs...Say my name, say my name! 😂❤

[@averya7443]

Watching y'all together heals my inner child tbh

[@TLYarnCrafts]

ditto xoxo

[@carolinehansen7714]

Great video! I could recognize Super Glo from a mile away! Her yarn is lovely to work with. Thank you for sharing all those stories!

[@valeriereed5401]

Sounds like you and your mom had a great time. I'm in NJ our fiber festival is in September. Can't wait. But I am anticipating going to Rhinebeck. 😊

[@janritzberg5297]

Happy Anniversary Mama Gwen! Thank you Toni and Mama Gwen for the video and sharing your visit to Seattle.

[@heleneryde]

I have said it before and I’ll say it again: Please come to Copenhagen🥰 I love you two❤️ I don’t have a yarn store but I would love to show you around❤️🥰 Lots of hugs from Copenhagen ❤️❤️

[@TillIGetToYou]

The first few minutes i already apprieciate your mum and sense of humour.

[@aislinnedana]

I loved this whole video! You both are a delight! I'm adding Flock to my plans for 2025! I moved to the Seattle area in 2018, and I feel like calling the food mid is totally accurate. There is good stuff to be sure, but nothing has ever been a 10. I have pretty high standards too, and I've eaten in lots of places. Seattle is just good. But there are so many things to love here. Yall mentioned taking the view for granted, but after living here for over 6 years I still enjoy my view! I'm so grateful to live in such a gorgeous place. All that to say, I'm so glad yall enjoyed Seattle and thank you for putting Flock on my radar!!

[@YarnyDiane]

Your Momma is awesome. So glad I was able to meet you both in Lawrence. Just love your videos!!! Come back to our area again soon!

[@JoanEB]

Seeing you and your mother together makes me feel so happy. My mother passed when I was 14, and I have always felt the loss of that adult relationship. Thank you for letting me experience yours!

[@Kimberkovar-ix9yy]

Not trying to be weird but I love your mom. She's awesome!!!😁

[@jeannievega1639]

What a great podcast. Thoroughly enjoyed watching you and your Mom. Hope to visit Flock Fiber Festival in 2025. Loved your yarn haul.

[@cerwelt]

Your mom’s face when you said .9 mile. Hilarious.

[@yarn_dragon]

So much fun watching you ladies. That’s for sharing your experiences in Seattle and sharing your joy.

[@teresawrubel1734]

I saw his work when it was a Meijer Garden in Grand Rapids, Michigan...love it!

[@valeriereed5401]

Happy anniversary. Hope you have many more wonderful years of happiness and love.❤

[@kimthecraftynomad]

So happy to see so much crochet!!!!

[@TLYarnCrafts]

me too! i was very surprised and very happy to see so much crochet at the show.

[@susanyoung1129]

Love these videos with your mom !

[@walkinginwatercolourswithmicah]

This is me with our youngest son. He had to move back with us during lockdown when his surgery date got cancelled. We LOVE being "stupid silly🤪😍🥰" so much. The whole nine yards...dancing, singing, poorly singing, and very bad puns until we cry.

[@ldmlhome]

Oh my the scarf is everything!!!

[@BusyBeadBoutique]

Oh my gosh always love seeing your beautiful fun mama on here! ❤-Sommer

[@rdyfrde]

The highlight of Flock for me was meeting you in person. Not sure if my incoherent babbling came through when I tried to explain what your videos mean to me, but you listened patiently anyway for which I'm grateful. It was fun to see your mom in person as well. I can say both of you are as much fun as your video counterparts :) Also you didn't mention it much in the video, but I enjoyed your panel about more crochet items in stores. I've seen that in action where some store owners look down on me when I'm buying yarn for crochet or even in my case when I say I'm allergic to wool. They get all defensive or dismissive depending on the situation. I thought it was just me but it's helpful knowing that others are also getting flack about it.
