Custom fleece-to-yarn processing

At the Makeloo Studio workshop, we transform your fleece into Poilu yarn: initial washing, opening, picking, carding, spinning, plying and skeining.

Process currently available: Poilu yarn, made with the woolen process. Lissé yarn, made with the worsted/combed process, is planned for 2027.

Yarn weight, twist and finish are developed around the intended use. A sample is submitted for approval before the complete lot is produced.

This service is designed for:

  • farms seeking to add value to their fleeces;
  • textile designers developing a signature yarn;
  • brands looking for local, traceable Quebec wool.

Tell us about the fibre, volume and intended use so we can assess the lot accurately.
