Untreated and undied wool would be used since it still contains the natural oils that repel water sufficiently. In our climate a cover made from canvas or even the plastic stuff used for lorries would obvoiusly have its advantages in terms of longlivety. Good luck for further projects, Kerstin</p> I got to know a real yurt in 2006 and learned that the cover was originally made from felt.
