We know more about felt, how it's made and performs, both in Mongolia and the West than anyone
else in the yurt business. So you'll find no second hand information here.
We offer three felt options, plus advice on the advantages and disadvantages of each type.

6mm thick felt
We offer this felt as
standard on all our
yurts. It is a uniform
white colour and
contains 25% man
made fibres. We
prefer this felt as it
does not attract
mice & moths as
much as 100%
woollen felts due to
it's man made fibre
content, it is strong,
hard wearing and
warm enough for
temperatures
down to around
minus 5.

14mm thick felt
This felt is 100%
Mongolian wool. It is
white in colour and is
machine processed.
It is warmer than our
standard offering.
Down side is that it is
expensive, bulky and
has a tendency to
attract mice and
moths. Suitable down
to minus 10 degrees.
This felt is NOT used
on yurts in Mongolia
due to being too
expensive and not
warm enough.

14mm thick felt
This is used on virtually every yurt in
Mongolia. Made from 100%
unprocessed Mongolian wool that
is felted in the traditional manner. It
still contains lanolin and some
animal by-products. Colour, shape
and thickness are unpredictable
due to it's hand-made nature. It is
incredibly warm and performs well
in Mongolia where it is able shed of
the little rain there is due to it's
lanolin content. However, when wet
it gives off a very strong odour. Most
yurts in Mongolia will have 2-3
layers of this felt. We do not
recommend this felt outside
