Yarn Excursions · Shore-day guide
Montreal yarn-crawl guide
A St. Lawrence homeport where the best yarn shops are planned city errands, not pier walks.
Docking at Grand Quay of the Port of Montreal — 200 De la Commune St W, Montreal, QC H2Y 4B2. Canada.
Shore-day plan
Choose La Maison Tricotee or La Bobineuse for the most practical city route; Espace Tricot is a farther planned stop.
Distances use the Grand Quay. Old Montreal is walkable, but the yarn shops require a city route.
