Local tips
- Bring your pattern or measurements along; staff can help you calculate yardage, choose the right fiber and suggest alternatives that suit your project and skill level.
- Plan your visit for a weekday late morning or early afternoon if you prefer a quieter atmosphere and more time for detailed one-on-one advice.
- If you are traveling light, choose small projects such as socks, hats or shawls, and opt for lightweight yarns that fit easily into luggage.
- Keep an eye out for sample garments and accessories; they are excellent for assessing drape, stitch definition and how a colorway behaves in larger fabric.

Discover more about Uldfisken
A wool haven in the heart of Randers
Uldfisken sits on Gråbrødrestræde, one of the compact streets in Randers’ historic center, and feels immediately like a retreat for people who love making things with their hands. From the doorway you see walls of yarn in soft gradients and bold contrasts, stacked in tidy cubes rather than towering chaos, giving the shop a calm, ordered feel. It is the kind of place where you instinctively slow down, reaching for fibers and running them between thumb and forefinger. Much of the focus is on quality Nordic and European yarns: pure wool for sturdy sweaters, merino blends for next-to-skin softness, and lighter cotton and linen for summer projects. The selection is broad without being overwhelming, so you can compare textures and thicknesses at eye level and quickly find something that suits the pattern in your bag or the idea in your head.Thoughtful layout and tactile inspiration
Inside, Uldfisken’s layout is designed for browsing and lingering. Central tables often hold seasonal yarns or color stories, laid out alongside finished samples: a textured shawl in muted greys, perhaps, or a pair of colorwork mittens that shows off a new palette. These pieces are there to be touched as much as admired, making it easier to imagine how a skein will behave once it becomes fabric. Along the walls, yarn is grouped by brand and material, with clear labeling so you can compare gauge and fiber content at a glance. Tools and notions hang nearby: bamboo and metal needles, crochet hooks, stitch markers, blocking accessories and project bags. Pattern booklets and single patterns are slotted into racks, many of them featuring Scandinavian designs that match the climate and style of everyday Danish life.Guidance, know-how and creative community
One of Uldfisken’s defining qualities is the emphasis on knowledgeable, approachable advice. Staff are experienced knitters and crocheters themselves, able to help you substitute yarns, assess whether a fiber will drape or hold structure, or troubleshoot a stalled project you bring under your arm. It is common to see someone spread a half-finished sweater on the counter while discussing needle sizes and fit. Beyond one-on-one help, the shop engages with a wider creative community through workshops and classes when offered, often focusing on specific techniques such as colorwork, lace or crochet. These small-group sessions turn the shop into a miniature studio space after hours, with yarn, laughter and concentration sharing the same tables that display goods by day.From idea to finished piece under one roof
For travelers, Uldfisken works both as a place to pick up a compact souvenir and as a practical supply stop. Small project kits are ideal for journeys by train or plane, while single skeins of characterful yarn can become hats or mitts that carry the memory of Randers long after you leave. The shop also stocks basics like darning needles and extra cables, useful if something breaks mid-trip. Patterns range from simple beginner-friendly accessories to elaborate sweaters and jackets, so you can match ambition to the time you realistically have. Many designs reflect everyday Scandinavian wardrobes: timeless, wearable shapes with subtle texture or colorwork, making it easy to incorporate a handmade piece into regular rotation rather than keeping it just for special occasions.Atmosphere, details and when to visit
The ambience is intimate and relaxed, more like a living room filled with yarn than a formal retail space. Natural and artificial light combine to show true colors, and there is usually a quiet rustle of skeins being handled and soft conversation about projects. Even if you only intend to browse, it is easy to lose track of time as you compare shades and fibers. Uldfisken keeps clear daytime opening hours on weekdays, with slightly shorter days on Fridays and Saturdays and closure on Sundays. This rhythm suits both local crafters and visitors who are exploring Randers’ central streets during the day. Combining a stop here with nearby cafés and historic sights makes for a satisfying, gently paced urban wander that foregrounds creativity and tactile pleasure over rush and noise.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
