✨ A podcast that celebrates creativity of all types ✨
Flock Fiber Festival + La Mercerie - Special spaces for makers w/ Jess Povenmire & Jen Joyce, ep 164
To know Jess is to love Jess and Jess' love of this special fiber arts community is very evident in everything she does. From in her yarn shop on Bainbridge Island, WA (shoplamercerie.com) to Flock Fiber Festival (flockfiberfestival.com), a yarn show in Seattle, WA, celebrating a love of all things wool, the fibers arts community is so very lucky to have these two spaces to come together and celebrate these things that we love and bring us the most joy!
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!

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!
Looks like the Alder Sweater by Rebecca Clow
@irmagabbard Well, then I'm consistent because I have that one in my queue and have loved every one I've seen - thank you!!
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!
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!
Love love love these episodes! I have been munching through them whilst off sick in bed today!
Obsessed with your interviews! I am getting through them like a bag of potato chips! ❤
I can totally understand losing yourself in my motherhood but also losing your sense of purpose in your making. That happened to me when I went to art school. Luckily this sense of purpose came back when I started knitting and dying yarn which has also opened the door again to my sense of purpose to be artistic in other ways like drawing and grafic design.
Jess is SUCH a treasure! I am so so excited for everything that's happening for her. Thanks for showing us her shop!
I’m so excited to visit Bainbridge Island and see the shop
Great podcast!
TU for a wonderful, upbeat podcast❤
Enjoyed this episode and beautiful shop. Love to meet you at the Barcelona Festival on my list as well as the Flock Fiber Festival.
Yarn wandering +food=YES😁
Watching from Cape Town, South Africa. Wishing everyone involved in the Festival abundant success!🎉❤
Love it! Yes, it's going to be a wonderful time! <3
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!
Thank you for watching! Jess is such a special human. See you at Flock! -Jen
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 😌😁
hahaha Maybe we can have a crafty sign making station next year ;)
I loved this interview!!!
💗
Now that was fun! So excited for you guys to have another successful Flock Festival! I think I smiled through this whole podcast!🎉
xoxoxo
;ove a good awkward, on edge and inspiring conversation by makers for makers, You two bounce off each other well and are admired for your verve and initiative for creative endeavours, Thanks Jen and Jess for sharing. Good luck with the festival and go well in your days.🙏♥🌏🐨xx
hahaha Thank you, Annie! -Jen
I call myself a Fiber Artist, as I am a crocheter.
I met Abi in VKL NY, and she was incredibly kind to me while I was waiting to introduce a friend to Jen, who was busy interviewing other people. Abi offered to give me a sign when the timing was right, and her help was truly invaluable. I also asked if I could film her stylish outfit, and she enthusiastically assisted me in finding other beautiful garments. Everything worked out well in the end, and my friend was successfully interviewed. I felt genuinely appreciated and understood by Abi and I'm truly grateful for her support. It's inspiring to see that she, as a fellow Latina, is challenging the system in such a positive manner. Thank you for being such a great role model, Abi!
Nourishing conversation. ❤❤❤
So glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful conversation!
Thank you Debra :)
Jen! Thank you for introducing us to the wonderful Emily Botelho! She is a person who loves her craft, knows herself, and is so well spoken! I love what she had to say about how it is just so good to have failures in our life! You are a good one, Emily!
So glad you enjoyed it!
I'm looking forward to the Maker marketplace. A proper MAKER based market needs to return to the world.
Yesssss! 😃
I really enjoyed watching this today. I downloaded the app I believe for the Scared Sheep festival and then saw the past interview with Catherine of BGS. It is nice to learn more about Making and also you both. I look forward to seeing what is coming.
Thanks for watching! So stoked for all the things to come :)
Super excited for all that's to come ❤🎉 well done for all your hard work so far. Loving the app and the community I have joined.
So happy to have you in the app! :) xoxo
This was a wonderful Podcast.
I love the moth and bee sweaters!
Hilarious! Looking forward to my third visit to Brooklyn General Store when i come to NYC the week after next!
Great interview! LOVE Catherine. She has wonderful energy. I’d love to know which Western Swing band she hears every week when she goes dancing with her girlfriends!?
I love those sweaters! ❤❤❤
❣
This is so fun. Thank you for such a fun episode. I've liked and subscribed. Happy knitting & crochet 💚🧶💚
So glad you liked it and that you've stuck around for more! :)
I visited for the first time in February and love the store and this story. I can't wait to visit again when I have more time to shop!
it's such a good shopping experience!
Beautiful stories! Thanks for sharing! ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching! <3
TU for a beautiful interview ❤❤❤😊
Thanks for watching!! :)
Business brilliance …thank you for the interview.
Indeed! :)
Love the podcast! Your sweaters are beyond extraordinary ❤
So glad you are enjoying it! And thank youuuuuu :)
I love her! What a fascinating woman with her midwifery office across from her amazing yarn store! So glad we got tours and stories of it all! 😊
She's so special! Glad you enjoyed this one too!
At the 37 mark you mentioned listening to the testers feedback. This reminded me when I did a test knit for a designer in a larger size, the sleeves and neck where crazy huge and I gave them feedback and they just said I should have knitted a smaller size. But this was the size the pattern recommended for my bust.
Yikes! That's not quite the reply one would hope for huh.... :( Hope they have learned since! Thanks for watching <3
Fabulous interview Jen! Jane, I've just received my copy and will enjoy reading it even more knowing the face/voice behind the words.
So glad you enjoyed it! <3
Woman has hobby Man who likes woman makes machine to make things easier for woman's hobby MeN Am I rIgHtS SiStErS? Jesus leave your fucking gender wars at the door. You'd be less miserable then.
Jane is such a lovely person to meet! I loved her original sheep from Scotland stories and also as she read to us with her calming voice! I did not know about Lamb Gangs (like dog zoomies) at tea time or Vegetarian wool. Then there is that challenge offered to participate in Jen’s “Lambs in Space!”❤
I really hope we get a lamb in space drawing! hahaha
I've heard the lamb zoomies referred to as Lampedes!
This is so sweet and heartwarming. Love all the interviews ❤
😘
❤❤❤
💞
Such great people so comfortable expressing themselves in a fun way! Loved the edits too and that guy that “just had to get his stuff and cut behind you!”
When you need your fabric, you need your fabric, ya know? haha
Thank you for having me on your Podcast! I had so much fun chatting with you! I hope to see you again next year!
Kassandra! You are such a delight. Thank you for taking the time and I am so very glad that we got to meet! -Jen
These edits 😂 I love it
you love that Bey edit huh hahahah
Yayyyyyyy!
Your interview was so fun to edit. I laughed so much. ADORE YOU. -Jen
What are the espace tricot owners wearing?
Great question! Lemme check with them! -Jen

Thank you 💖
