Yarn Excursions · Shore-day guide

Boston yarn-crawl guide

A pre- or post-cruise Boston yarn errand with real neighborhood shops, not pier-side browsing.

Docking at Flynn Cruiseport Boston / Black Falcon Terminal — 1 Black Falcon Ave, Boston, MA 02210. United States.

Shore-day plan

Use Boston Fiber Company for an indie-yarn-focused stop near the South End, or Stitch House Dorchester for a deeper yarn-shop visit with classes and supplies.

Distances use Flynn Cruiseport Boston at Black Falcon Avenue. Seaport traffic and luggage make rides more realistic than long walks.
