Since 2022, Maak & Transmettre has been leading an international cooperation project with Morocco, in the Oriental region. During our meetings with local cooperatives and artisans, we observed the work surrounding wool, particularly weaving for rug making. Beni Guil wool, in particular, stands out for its quality and abundance, supported by the region’s nomadic community. It quickly became clear to us that this wool should be prioritized and enhanced: processed in batches and with shared efforts to wash, card, and spin it steps that are still carried out individually by each artisan, making the process demanding and time-consuming.

The aim of our partnership is to help modernize textile production techniques while respecting the craftsmanship and authenticity of Moroccan manufacturing. In the long term, we seek to establish a local micro-spinning mill, equipped with machines that allow the different stages of transformation from sheep fleece to yarn ready for weaving to be shared and streamlined. A collective tool designed to facilitate creation and free up time for artisans.
