Flock Fiber Festival + La Mercerie - Special spaces for makers w/ Jess Povenmire & Jen Joyce, ep 164

Jen hopped on a ferry and headed out to Bainbridge to chat with Jess about La Mercerie and their new space (which... *spoiler alert* was the home of Churchmouse Yarns for years!) and also how Flock is growing in its second year and the things that she's doing to keep it so very special.

So grab your WIP and hit play and we hope to see you at Flock Fiber Festival!

Jess is SUCH a treasure! I am so so excited for everything that's happening for her. Thanks for showing us her shop!

I loved visiting your shop earlier this year when I was in the area! I can’t believe you started it from your garage. What a lovely team and your fiber curation is top notch!

This was a delight! The JOY of yarn simply radiates from Jess!

OMG, I was just telling a friend that there were so many attendees at Flock, and yet I did not once run into anyone rude! I hope it stays this way! It was a haven!

Jess I appreciate all you have done for our knitting community! I can't wait to see you and experience your new updated FLOCK fiber festival. And I loved this interview Jen! The energy between you and Jess made my day as I am home not feeling well!

I love that, “don’t push people to touch yarn!” Absolutely, stuff like that shouldn’t be happening at yarn festivals. I am down with the signs 😌😁

Does anyone know what sweater pattern Jess is wearing? I've scoped Flock and La Mercerie's IG and not seeing a post with it. It's so cute!
