Yarn design for exclusive collections

Yarn shops and brands


Makeloo Studio develops custom yarn for shops and brands creating an exclusive collection under their own name, built to precise project requirements.

Yarn is supplied undyed, in the wool’s natural colour.

This know-how has taken us to Vogue Knitting Live and Barcelona Knits, where signature colourways were developed for the occasion.

What an exclusive yarn development can include


  • Development from a specification covering weight, twist, texture and fibre blend
  • Undyed yarn, in the wool’s natural colour, developed around the handling needs of the project
  • Small runs or limited collections with documented provenance
  • Support in positioning the exclusive collection

This service draws on Marcelo Martins’ Woolmark Learning Centre training in knitwear design, woven textile design and production, and wool dyeing. These are training attestations; details are listed on the Expertise and credentials page. Expertise and credentials.
