Your yarn is so beautiful in person- what a pleasure to see at Flock!

[@OllieandMay]

Great tour of Flock, can’t believe how Massive the space is, so much room to walk around. Loved seeing inside The Lamb and Kid Store, a Rainbow 🌈 indeed. Gorgeous Haul. Safe Travels. Thanks for sharing Lovely 💕

[@botanicalyarn]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@sharonsutcliffe]

Wow Sophie, it all looks incredible and you deserve a yarn treat just as much as everybody else. I hope you had a great time this weekend too 💖 x

[@botanicalyarn]

Thank you so much Sharon 🩷

[@jane57]

We ❤ Banff! Had a wonderful visit on the gondola and a magical evening meal surrounded by fairy lights and fabulous views 🚠

[@botanicalyarn]

oh amazing! we didn't quite manage that, but it was lovely all the same 🩷

[@marcysalo4499]

So good to see you again in Seattle, Sophie! And I am hoping we BOTH finish our Alpine Bloom Tees before we meet again. Meantime, I cannot wait to see what you make with your beautiful Spincycle skeins... that's going to be amazing. Have the best time in Calgary and safe travels home to you and Mike. As always, so appreciate your beautiful yarns!

[@botanicalyarn]

So lovely to see you Marcy!! Oh amazing yes please, perhaps we could finish them in time for Flock 2025? haha!! Thank you so much for your kind words, we're wishing we could stay in Calgary for a few more days, but advent calendars won't dye them selves haha! Thank you so much 🩷

[@patriciafedler6926]

I’m so glad I found your channel. It was a pleasure to chat with you at Lamb and Kid when you were selecting that gorgeous Spincycle. My hubby and I got a chuckle out of your La Mercerie portion: he’s the guy in the blue shirt! I’m at the counter in the black top. We loved your baseball clips and am glad you had a good experience at the ballpark. It was fun to meet you and your boyfriend. Every time I went by your booth on Saturday you both were very busy, so it was fun to chat on Sunday. I will enjoy the yarn I bought, and look forward to seeing you next year.

[@LoriNeu19]

So fun to watch your podcast, especially after meeting you at the Merch booth Friday evening. I think perhaps you were the first in-person Merch customer - and so patient, helpful, and kind while we worked out the technology! ❤️

[@botanicalyarn]

aw thank you so much, I was very grateful for you allowing me to shop before everything sold out Thank you so much 🩷

[@pennygreenfield8418]

[@rachaeleaston9045]

Oh Sophie, it looks like the most amazing trip! Thank you for bringing us along with you, so many beautiful treasures. I'm already floating the idea of a similar trip at home 🙂 Will definitely be keeping an eye out for the notes books. Hopefully you are home now safe and sound and getting over the Jetlag! Can't wait to see you and Fiona in the next episode - and find out which skein she got! xx

[@siobhanyamada-gu8dr]

Omg!!! Omg!!! Thank you so much for the shoutout!! 🎉 you are such a sweet soul! I’m so glad I got to meet you and your boyfriend; truly a pleasure! Can’t wait to see your completed framed sweater (and your alpine bloom tee, lol 😂 maybe we can twin next year 😂). Have the BEST time in Banff!! 💖✨

[@botanicalyarn]

[@kimbarone7409]

Oh, and the color you picked from spin cycle is gorgeous. I can’t wait to see what you make.

[@botanicalyarn]

Oh no I’m sorry about that! Is it the audio where I’m speaking or the audio of videos where I’m showing around places? So lovely to meet you too 🩷🩷🩷

[@MicahRion]

I was glad to see the mask wearing requirement for some hours. I live on the west coast of the US and there's a huge COVID surge here right now. I work at a store and we do a similar thing, masks are required for everyone for the first two hours of the day so everyone can shop.
