Yarn Excursions · Shore-day guide
Copenhagen yarn-crawl guide
A Danish design-yarn city route where the exact cruise quay changes the plan.
Docking at Ocean Quay / Oceankaj cruise terminals — Containervej 9, 2150 Nordhavn, Copenhagen. Denmark.
Shore-day plan
Use Uldstedet or Sommerfuglen as the core city yarn stop. Serious shoppers can add Knitting for Olive only with enough transit time.
Distances use Ocean Quay. Langelinie and Nordre Toldbod calls are meaningfully closer to the city center.
