Tallinn

Baltic knitting heritage with a practical two-stop yarn errand just beyond the Old Town walls.

Dock note

Old City Harbour cruise area (Tallinn Cruise Terminal)

Distances use the Old City Harbour cruise terminal on Logi street. The Old Town is a 15–20 minute walk; the yarn stops are beyond it, so budget a taxi, tram, or a longer walk.

Tallinn pairs a walkable medieval Old Town with serious knitting culture — this is the country of Haapsalu shawls and Estonian lace. The two best supply stops sit together southeast of the walls, so run them as one errand and keep the rest of the call for the Old Town.
