Yurt Companies in US With Felt Insulation??

[Sylvia]

Hello all~

I'm wondering if there are any Yurt companies in the US that sell yurts with felt

insulation

, like the Canadian company YURTA does? It seems hard to believe that they are the only one! We are looking to purchase a yurt very soon so any help would be most appreciated!

First off, 'felt' is more a texture than a material--you can have synthetic felt or natural felt, all from various fibers, often even blended together. I'll assume you mean wool or mostly wool felt.

I know of two companies off the top of my head (Groovey Yurts & Suntime Yurts) that use a wool felt.

Yurtlocker

also uses a felt

insulation

, but made from polyester. There are quite a few small yurt makers/importers, depending on your location & particular yurt preferences. A look at the 'Manufacturer Discussion' link list towards the bottom of yurtforum.com main page will give you a starting place.

Also note with yurt importers that they often only get one shipment a year, with something like 5-10 yurts in a big container. You can preorder or maybe buy one of their extra yurts, but availability & options may be rather limited depending on when you order/purchase.
