A note about Insulation

Wool is the incredible, natural fibre that synthetics try to emulate.

Our wool felt is the very best in lightweight insulation and a contemporary refinement of traditional materials. Made just for us, our insulation needles together 100% wool with an thin layer of aluminum, combining the thermal properties of 100% real wool with the radiant capacity of a reflective layer. The result is a superb lightweight insulator that remains completely breathable. Our wool felt reflects radiant heat from a wood stove back into the yurt during the cold winter months, while reflecting out the sun’s heat during the summer. It’s consistency in thickness and density allows us to sew a tight-fitting wool sweater for your Yurta. Breathable, natural and non-toxic, real wool felt is the ultimate – and original – way to finish a yurt.

Yurta wool felt insulation provides many benefits. It is:

  • Natural: No petroleum-based products like those used in plastics, synthetic fibers and fabrics. Also, no chemicals or resin-coatings make it a healthy way to finish a living space. Wool is composed entirely of amino acids – the building blocks of life.
  • Self-extinguishing: Wool has an ignition index of 1112º F. It extinguishes itself when touched to a flame, which is why firefighters and race car drivers wear it. Man-made fire resistant fabrics use chemicals to make them that way.
  • Hygroscopic: Wool readily absorbs and gives off moisture. Wool can absorb almost 1/3 of its weight in moisture yet also evaporate it.
  • Temperature controlled: Cool in warm weather and warm in cool weather, its fibers form pockets of air that provide natural insulation.
  • Sustainable: Wool is the only authentic sustainable fibre on earth. Annually renewable, recyclable and biodegradable. It’s also animal friendly. No animals are killed for wool; they’re sheared about once a year.
  • Biodegradable: In soil, wool readily biodegrades to produce sulfur, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and water – all plant nutrients.
