Yarn Excursions · Shore-day guide

Bergen yarn-crawl guide

A Norwegian yarn city where central berths can make a real shop visit easy.

Docking at Port of Bergen cruise docks — Skolten/Bontelabo cruise area, Bergen. Norway.

Shore-day plan

Strikkelykke is the practical yarn stop. The Textile Industry Museum is a longer textile excursion, not a quick dockside errand.

Distances use the Skolten/Bontelabo cruise area. Bergen also uses other cruise docks, so verify the quay.
