It is vital and practical in that the felt is used as a covering for the ger which can withstand the harsh weather conditions of Mongolia’s landscape and as material for devjee (mattress) olbog (cushions) or gifts for guests. Nowadays, various felt-made household needs, traditional felt crafts and souvenirs are being produced widely and becoming popular among foreign tourists.
