Thanks @stephanwik - I found this super helpful. Not sure if you're still on this forum but since that was a while ago, if you have any updates on how this worked out for you or any other insights, I'd really appreciate that.
I've recently set up a small yurt in Somerset, UK where I used felt directly under the canvas but as I'm not the yurt all day, it's definitely starting to get damp and I can see the writing on the wall...
