Find yarn stores quickly while you are in port.
Every guide favors practical shore decisions: walk or ride, closest verified stop, hours caveats, and what kind of fiber reward is realistic before all-aboard.
Ports without a confirmed yarn shop are still useful: they tell travelers when to save the shopping list for another stop.
