Signature Journeys with ARNE & CARLOS
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 curated and hosted by us, from beginning to end. The same table, the same view — always a small group. Come with us once, and we’ll remember you the next time.

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. 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.
Our land journeys are limited to a maximum of twenty-two guests, plus the two of us — 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.
