Textile expertise, training and professional credentials
Makeloo develops Quebec wool through practical mill experience and continuing education. This page separates course attestations, programs in progress, affiliations and official product certifications so buyers can assess each type of evidence accurately.
Continuing education
Technical learning supports the studio's practice. Course completion is described as training, not as a product certification.
Evidence by category
Official certifications, training attestations, memberships and programs in progress are never presented as interchangeable credentials.

Worsted or Woolen: two yarns, two uses.
The process changes everything: combed (worsted) for a smooth, hard-wearing yarn, carded (woolen) for a lofty, warm one. We assess your fleece on arrival and advise from there.
| Criterion | Worsted (combed)Gill Box Ramella · the only one in Québec | Woolen (carded)Carding only |
|---|---|---|
| Process | Combed (Gill Box Ramella) — fibres aligned, short fibres removed | Carding only |
| Appearance | Smooth, lustrous, even | Lofty, airy |
| Strength | Very hard-wearing | Less hard-wearing, warmer |
| Pilling | Minimal | Normal |
| Best-suited wools | Staple > 70 mm (Lincoln, Romney, Corriedale, Leicester, Merino) | All breeds (Cheviot, Suffolk, crossbreds) |
| Uses | Technical knitting, socks, weaving, premium yarn | Scarves, sweaters, blankets, felting |
Prices on request through the quote form — every fleece is assessed individually.
Our advice: long-staple fibres (> 70 mm) → worsted, which maximises value and durability. Short fibres → woolen. “We assess your fleece on arrival.”
