Journeys with ARNE & CARLOS
Small groups. Highly curated.
This is our world — the coastline we’ve made our own, the gardens we love and return to, the countries that shaped our work. We don’t just take you there. We share these places with you the way we’ve come to know and love them.
Every journey is personally curated and hosted by us, from beginning to end. The same table, the same view — always a small group.
Whether you come on your own or with someone you know, there is always a place for you at our table. Join us once, and we’ll remember you the next time.
Write to us to join our travel list and be the first to hear about new journeys. Our current journeys are below.
Journeys on water
Knitting cruises shaped by time, light, and the quiet rhythm of life on board.
The Norwegian coast is home to us before it is anything else. Hurtigruten’s historical route has sailed these waters for 133 years. We’ve travelled it ourselves since 2007.
Beyond Norway’s mainland lie the polar waters we’ve also come to know well: Svalbard, Greenland, the Faroe Islands, and Antarctica. Our river cruises take us to the heart of Europe too, wherever the water leads that year.
We choose small ships that carry under 400 passengers in total. We favour locally rooted ships that reflect the places they sail, so travelling between destinations becomes part of the experience rather than simply a way of getting there.
Within that, our own group is limited to thirty knitters and a few non-knitting companions — few enough that it stops feeling like transport and simply becomes time on the water, together.
Journeys on land
Textile-, art-, garden-, and culture-led journeys shaped by place and making.
Japan, Peru, Portugal, Italy, and South Korea — we didn’t arrive as visitors. We worked in these countries for years, inside the fashion and textile industry.
Our passion for gardens has pulled us back to the United Kingdom and Ireland for more than fifteen years — long before we ever thought of bringing anyone else along.
We usually travel with around twenty-two guests on our land journeys — few enough that you experience these places the way we do: not as sights to check off, but as places we love and are glad to share.

Below are our published journeys. Some are sold out and others still have places available — and together they give you a good idea of what a journey with us looks like. If something calls to you and the date is full, tell us — we’ll let you know if a place becomes available.
This is our world. We’d love to share it with you.
