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😂😂😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@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.

[@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!

[@indiaaa1095]

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

[@LoveAndPieces000]

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

[@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! ❤

[@betholeary95]

A few things... I have watched you for years and have learned so much from you--you are an amazing teacher, creator, designer and person! As a teacher myself (of music), I so appreciate the beautiful way that you break down everything for us out here, repeating things slowly and showing different angles. You are the best! 😍 I have had some life changes in the past 2 years that have not afforded me anytime for crochet and I am coming back to it in an effort to reclaim some part of me and my self-care, so of course I turned to Toni! ❤ (A friend of mine who watches you also said the other day how she has to keep in her memory that you two are not actually friends in real life lol and I told her I can so relate to that! Tho of course I would love to meet you someday!) 🌻 Lastly, I love these videos with you and your mom. I lost my beloved mom in 2017 and I was blessed to have a relationship with her like the one you share with your Mama. It fills me with joy to hear your banter and see how you both love on each other.💓 Thank you, for all of this and more! Enjoy some time off this Thanksgiving/Christmas season and sending so much joy and love to you and your family!

[@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!

[@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! ❤❤

[@arunikahelio9289]

You both bring so much joy in my life. Thank you.

[@Ohitskelly]

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

[@misslillie2940]

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

[@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 🙏🤗😊

[@janicedavey5786]

Loved this recap. I enjoyed Flock with a friend and Binbridge Island as well. This was a nice refresh to hear about the show again. It was a really good time.

[@Purpleyarnie]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@phoenix06ke]

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

[@PaulaJonesy]

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

[@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]

[@TLYarnCrafts]

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

[@_maxgray]

MAMA GWEN IS BACK!!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@sandyrinehart5566]

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

[@TillIGetToYou]

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

[@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!!

[@joyatodd]

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

[@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. 🫂🥰

[@lisamatthews2268]

[@othcrochetnook]

@@TLYarnCrafts 🥰❤️😅

[@ilaquinndesignsCo]

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

[@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"!!🌻💮🥀

[@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!

[@cerwelt]

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

[@valeriereed5401]

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

[@donnakosik7379]

I love it when you have your mom on.

[@tl4214]

What a beautiful bunch of experiences you were able to share together! I loved the opening, had me giggling!! I am learning about dyers and yarns I had not known to date, I love the vulnerability of highs and lows, how you each experienced your trip. I love that you plan for touring anytime you're 1:24:55 traveling, so important. Breath in fresh air, lovely!! Sunset🏞🏔🌄 Happy Anniversary, Momma and Poppa Gwen!!

[@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!

[@wandering_in_the_woods]

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

[@marialitsas6502]

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

[@jeannievega1639]

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

[@yarn_dragon]

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

[@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!

[@janritzberg5297]

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

[@aka_zandiie]

loved this video! I will say, as someone who has lived in Seattle for about 9 years now, when you said it was .9 miles away I gasped out loud cause you're right, its completely different here than other places and especially downtown! yall did great to make that walk! I've never made it to the glass museum but will ASAP. But everytime I see the mountains or a sunset its still amazing and doesn't get old

[@Louloubell]

❤Thank you, thank you! I live in WA, but have never been to Flock Fiber. Beautiful yarns! ❤

[@beckyboles6605]

I love your interaction with your Momma! ❤❤❤

[@favoritemommy74]

Love your mom! Love when she joins you! ❤

[@keyshaallen-oh2vu]

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

[@valeriehowden471]

Mama Gwen! Thanks for sharing your yarn adventures, Toni. Can't wait to see the next one. Loving all your souvenirs ❤

[@NammyG834]

I loved your video. Thank you for sharing your trip. The yarn is gorgeous. ❤

[@Susi1406]

I love the idea of you both working together to create a beautiful garment! Can’t wait to see it. ❤

[@rittj.1303]

It's so cool to see an event like this! Everyone looked great in their makes! I was so happy to see so many people masked, especially you!! Thank you for being safe ❤

[@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!

[@rosebrown839]

Ms. Toni, I am so happy to see & to have heard about y'all's travels❣️ You & Mama Gwen are Absolutely Hilarious together & separate.Only 1 of the reasons I absolutely adore y'all.I pray that y'all have MANY more years to come together❣️❤❤❤

[@KitteeLane]

I love your mom's energy.

[@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!)

[@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.

[@slaugeri1344]

Lovin’ you grrrrrlz, so much joy, so much information, thank you for sharing all of your beauty❣️🙏🏿🥰

[@amiller3064]

Your mom is right on the mark with her colors! Beautiful.

[@barbaracabrera207]

I love your Mom!!! Here's a BIG HUG for her from Austin TX USA. GREAT VIDEO!! TFS!! Austin TX USA

[@cassiettajefferson7558]

Sounds like a fabulous time! Im just now learning about all the festivals and such so I’ll definitely be putting this one on my calendar for next year.

[@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.

[@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.

[@erikadahlquist7458]

I love getting to see you and your mom and these events, but love even more the love you show my daughter! Wish she had her blanket on Sunday to show you!

[@siobhanyamada-gu8dr]

Awww 🥰 it was so great to meet you in person!!! 🤗 thank you so much for sharing your experience of Flock week 2024!! It was such an amazing week!! 🤩 Momma Gwen, Heidi is the cashmere queen you met! I met her, too & she was wonderfully sweet!! She was so sweet I actually changed my yarn plans for a sweater to buy her yarn & am knitting with it right now as I’m watching this! 🤗 it is the most luxurious yarn I’ve ever worked with! 🤩

[@lilliansanchez-perez4545]

Love you, love your mom, love the love you ladies have for each other. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us all. I got quite a few rows on my latest wip done while I watched and listened. Felt like I was travelling with you...ooh maybe some day! You are both such an inspiration to me and many others! I am sending you a virtual hug...Yes I'm a hugger too Mama Gwenn! So proud of you! Keep the content coming! You are such a blessing from the Lord to me. Well Lily here signing off with a wink, a smile and of course a hug...Good night 😴

[@rebeccasimpkins8231]

The way you and your mom interact reminds me of how my mom and I are. I love the videos you do with her. Thank you for sharing your experience at Flock and some of your time with your mom.

[@laquittawidener6943]

😅 I love you doing videos with your mom. Love how well you guys get along. Just the fact that you are close enough to travel together, craft together & share wonderful time together is wonderful. ❤

[@jenniferbatts8665]

So glad you could visit our Seattle and glad you survived our rugged hills. Thanks for helping me get a few Lego blocks knitted for my grandson's blanket this morning. Appreciate you both.

[@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. 😂 ❤

[@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 ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@jctrumb]

I smiled through this whole video. You two are adorable and infectious and very inspiring. Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@Cat_Rescuer]

The colors!! My yarn bone is twitching 🧶🧶

[@jeanmariejankovich1454]

So glad to find your channel! So inspirational and loved your yarn discussion and new stash! Glad you had a wonderful time! See you next time!

[@lbmilam]

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

[@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!!

[@oriahorcajogarcia]

Your mom is the absolute best 😂 I love her

[@TLYarnCrafts]

Isn't she? Love that girl :-)

[@mitsubachi2g]

I LOVE YOU GUYS. You both have so much fun together, it brings joy to my day every time you both show up on my screen. Thanks for being shiny happy fiber people :D

[@irenelambert9991]

Love the watching you ladies, Such a special mother daughter relationship and I miss knitting with mine since she went to the Lord but love seeing you and all the wonderful yarn you both got❤️

[@aneelab4803]

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

[@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 ❤️

[@constancelee686]

Your Sari Kantha's are beautiful. I've collected them for years. Great Seattle trip!

[@TLYarnCrafts]

I'm so glad to start my collection! I love these pieces where we can reclaim such gorgeous textiles. And recommendations on where to find items like this?

[@BusyBeadBoutique]

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

[@carimccormack9931]

Great video! Love it when you and Mom podcast together ❤️❤️❤️

[@angelavonbrughan199]

OMG, Momma Gwen is just the bees knees! Just loved her "say my name, say my name" moment! Gosh I haven't laughed so much in ages...

[@TLYarnCrafts]

She's got a song for everything - I swear she's like a walking radio :-)

[@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. 🥰

[@sparky4786]

I just love both of y’all! Thanks for chilling with us.

[@yarneylife194]

Aww you guys look like you had a great time. thanks for sharing! Nice video with Mama Gwen. Enjoyed it!

[@mary-annpenttila]

Le Mercerie looks like the store knitting for Olive in Helsinki or Copenhagen. Love that store! The whole festival sounds absolutely amazing! The yarns you both bought look like skeins that are so soft and squishable. The colours are so vibrant and alive!

[@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.

[@canderson5469]

I am "new" to the hobby (crocheted a bit when I was younger, but just began my relearning process), and I have been enjoying your videos. Just wanted to pop in to say that the joy I see in your bond with your mom is so amazing!
