Spinning Yarn from Wool, Medina, Marrakech

The medina is comprised of many different souqs (markets) traditionally divided up by trade. So, while you're walking around, you'll come upon different areas where you'll see carpenters at work, or metal workers and in this case, yarn makers. The wool is spun by hand, and then brought to the dye souq (conveniently located nearby) to get dyed in the appropriate colors, often using natural dyes.
