Researching
Caribbean
Caribbean cruise stops can be wonderful for fabric, crochet thread, handmade goods, straw work, ceramics, batik, and local textile culture. Dedicated yarn shops are less consistent, so this region guide stays clear about what is confirmed and what still needs local proof.

Mediterranean
Mediterranean yarn shopping ranges from true city yarn crawls to long gateway-port detours. Athens/Piraeus, Barcelona, Lisbon, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and Marseille now have live first-wave guides; Florence and Rome remain plan-ahead research, not quick pier walks.

Northern Europe & British Isles
This region has some of the strongest fiber identity in the roadmap: Icelandic wool, Shetland wool, Orkney wool, Norwegian yarn, Dutch destination yarn, Danish design yarn, Baltic craft supplies, and Finnish natural fibers. Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Bergen, Reykjavik, Stockholm, and Lerwick now have live first-wave guides.
