From their website at www.muturbeltz.com in the Basque Country of Spain, “Mutur Beltz is a life project that intertwines art, design, and territory to honor the shepherd’s profession and protect the Carranzana sheep, an endangered species.”
“From the Karrantza Valley (Bizkaia), we work with local wool as a raw material,
but also as a narrative and a means of resistance.”
“We reclaim what others discard (wool) and transform it into value,
generating a circular economy that respects the rhythms of the land, memory,
and crafts.”
“We’re not just a typical brand. We’re a network, a heartbeat, a way of doing things
that rises from the mountains and reaches the world. We create unique pieces,
artist residencies, workshops, and partnerships where art and life intersect.”
And, of course, there was yarn to purchase!
This rural part of the Basque Country was beautiful!
And they fed us chorizo and homemade sheep cheese!
