Local wool and textile project consulting
Marcelo supports organizations that want to produce, source or add value to wool differently, in circular textile processing and production. His work combines hands-on wool processing, local sourcing and circular textile thinking.
From supply strategy to fleece valorization, he helps turn a local material into a credible and practical textile project.
His technical development includes eight Woolmark Learning Centre course attestations in wool fibre science, scouring, top-making, spinning, dyeing and wool processing. These are training attestations, not Woolmark product certification.
Consulting areas include:
- wool production and local supply-chain development;
- circular economy, local fibre valorization and traceability;
- local wool sourcing and traceability.

From sustainable farming to high-quality yarn.
Since 2018, Marcelo Martins has supported more than sixteen sheep farms across Québec in improving their fibre quality — all the way to the Lavaltrie micro-mill, where raw wool becomes a finished, undyed and traceable yarn, ready to use as-is or to be dyed.
01
Fibre diagnosis
Assessment of the flock's fibre quality and valorization potential.
02
Shearing, sorting, conditioning
Best practices to preserve the fibre's value.
03
Producer training
Hands-on workshops to improve quality before processing.
04
Receiving and scouring
At the Lavaltrie micro-mill, using eco-responsible methods.
05
Carding and spinning
Based on the desired weight, twist and texture — undyed yarn as the output.
This service draws on a dual expertise: field experience gained since 2018, and applied research through Marcelo's participation in the “Valoriser le mouton à son plein potentiel” team (UQAR, 2023 to present), in collaboration with Stéphanie Landry, agronomist at MAPAQ.
