• The wood lattice walls are tied together with camel sinew.
• The canvas covers are made from untreated cotton canvas.
• The felt is 5/8 of an inch thick, all-natural sheep wool that has been cleaned and processed in a factory. Factory processing gives the felt an even thickness, making it very clean, less order, and more bug and fire-resistant.

Production and transit time

• The yurts take 3-6 weeks to make in Mongolia.
• From Mongolia, the container goes by train to the seaport of Tianjin, near Beijing, China.
• Then they are put onto a ship that travels to Long Beach, CA, with a stop in Busan, S. Korea.
• From California, the container comes to Flagstaff, AZ, by truck.

Please note:
•  Each step of the process can vary in time length. For example, the paint on the yurt dries slower in the cold winter months. Holidays in Mongolia and China are many and sometimes one-week-long impacting the time between production completion and being put on the ship.
•  There is only one way into China from Mongolia by train. The process can get backed up at the China border, at the seaport, or even at the US border/seaport.
Shipping from Mongolia has been difficult since the onset of Covid. The length of transit time is unreliable. Patience is required as issues out of our control may arise.
