2020 Portland Yarn Crawl Tour

Two days. Stamps from 10 yarn stores, through Portland’s five quadrants and two far-flung suburbs. And us.

The 2020 Portland Yarn Crawl Tour. We’ll make sure you get them all!


the March 5-6 two-day tour or the March 7-8 two-day tour

A knitting designer and friend came to us with a challenge: to make a tour that could meet the unique needs of those seeking to fill their yarn store passports. On the first weekend in March 2020, delightful yarn stores are more dispersed than ever before, and thousands of knitters are ready to fill their passports. We loved the idea of making it easier to get to all of the participating shops (and Sarah Gilbert, Around Portland Tours’ co-founder, is a knitting designer herself), so here we have: 2020 Yarn Crawl Tour!

Our flagship offering is a two-day experience, either Thursday-Friday or Saturday-Sunday. $175.

  • The first day will feature knitting shops farther afield, in Vancouver, Forest Grove and SW Portland, along with a stop at a winery or chocolate shop in the Willamette Valley. 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
  • The second day will focus on yarn stores in the inner city, along with a stop at a favorite coffee shop and bakery. 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
  • Each day will feature at least one exclusive special gift to tour-goers from knitting designers and dyers.

Our streamlined offering is a one-day tour to yarn stores that are outside the central core of the city, Friday and Saturday. $100.

  • Five yarn stores, Vancouver, Forest Grove, and SW Portland.
  • At least one exclusive special gift to tour-goers from a knitting designer.

All of our tours will start early with a visit to a bakery to pick up lunch to take along; we’re happy to assist with special plans for those with dietary needs!

We will pick up at our shop at 1210 SE 7th Avenue, and at The Paramount Hotel, 808 SW Taylor (or alternative central city lodging; please contact us for other arrangements).
