Yarn Excursions · Shore-day guide
Tallinn yarn-crawl guide
Baltic knitting heritage with a practical two-stop yarn errand just beyond the Old Town walls.
Docking at Old City Harbour cruise area (Tallinn Cruise Terminal) — Logi 4/2, 10111 Tallinn, Estonia. Estonia.
Shore-day plan
Taxi or tram toward Tartu maantee and pair Wool & Woollen with Karnaluks a block apart — yarn first, then the craft warehouse. Walk back through the Old Town for the medieval streets on the return leg.
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.
