Tour description and schedule
Engage yourself in Faroese culture with an exclusive invitation to a traditional “bindiklubb” (knitting club) hosted by locals Gunnvá and Elin.
Your afternoon begins with a comfortable bus ride from the venue downtown at Steinatún to the cozy homes of your hosts. This intimate setting offers a unique opportunity to experience Faroese hospitality and craftsmanship firsthand.
Gunnvá and Elin will guide you through the intricate world of Faroese wool and knitting patterns. Whether you’re an experienced knitter or a complete novice, you’ll find this afternoon both educational and enjoyable. Feel free to bring your own needlework or simply relish the excellent company and warm atmosphere.
As you knit together, you’ll learn about the cultural significance of the bindiklubb in Faroese society. The afternoon is complemented by the delightful offerings of coffee, tea, and homemade cake, adding to the authentic experience.
This excursion is not just about knitting; it’s about connecting with local traditions and enjoying a peaceful afternoon filled with stories, laughter, and the rhythmic click of needles.
Join us for a memorable afternoon at the Faroese Bindiklubb and take home not just a piece of craft, but a piece of Faroese heart.
