Cosy Evening Knitting Club in Private Home

Step into the warmth of a private home in Tórshavn and discover the rich cultural heritage of the islanders through social knitting, known locally as 'bindiklubbur' or knitting club. This is at the heart of local tradition.

As the sun begins to dip below the horizon, you will be welcomed by your host into her home in Tórshavn, where the rhythmic click-clack of knitting needles sets the ambiance. Gather around with fellow travellers and embrace the art of knitting, a cherished cultural activity that has been passed down through generations in the Faroe Islands. This is a small-group experience with never more than 6 people joining the evening.

Under the guidance of your skilled host, you will learn the local techniques of knitting. From casting on to creating intricate patterns. As you work the yarn from Faroese sheep between your fingers, you will feel a sense of connection to the island group’s history and its people. Faroe Islanders have relied on knitting for centuries to create warm clothing to withstand the rugged Faroese weather.

Over the course of three enriching evening hours, you will slow down, improve your knitting skills and gain meaningful connections with your host and fellow travellers, sharing stories and laughter as you weave together strands of yarn. As the evening unfolds, indulge in Faroese snacks, savouring the flavours of local delicacies.

Before bidding farewell to your newfound friends, you will receive a special gift to commemorate your experience – a bundle of high-quality yarn and knitting needles to continue your knitting journey at home. With each stitch, you will carry with you the memories of your time spent in the warmth of Faroese hospitality.

This intimate knitting club, held twice a week in the evenings, offers a glimpse into the soul of the Faroe Islands, where tradition, mindfulness and community intertwine to create unforgettable experiences for travellers seeking true connection. So, come join this event and unravel the threads of Faroese culture, one stitch at a time.

Make your stay in the Faroe Islands that extra special with this cosy knitting club experience. Check availability by choosing a date.
