WOOD
The wooden frame is made of willow specially grown for the manufacture of yurts. Trees are cut down in late autumn and winter, cleaned of bark and dried in the wind. They undergo steam treatment for flexibility and strength, then they are shaped and dried. After drying, the wood is treated with oil and natural insect repellents and painted with acrylic paint. The size and number of parts depends on the size of the future yurt.
FELT AND ISOLATIONS
The yurt cover is made of dense felt of a natural gray-beige color. The felt is made from sheep’s wool, cleaned only with soap, then only water is used in the manufacturing process. The edges of the coatings are edged with a thick rope to better keep the shape. The felt is cut out and sewn by hand.
DECORATIONS
The decorative and practical elements of the yurt are all hand-made. For felt dyeing, powdered paints of Russian production are used.
