Wool, Cashmere, Gers

Country forums / North-East Asia / Mongolia

Hello! I am looking to learn as much as I can about wool and cashmere in Mongolia. I have about four weeks and want to see felt being made for the gers, cashmere goats, and as much embroidery and wool stuff as I can. I will start in UB (so recommendations in the city would be great!) but want to get out of the city and was wondering where I should go to learn more?

Cheers,
Jess

Hi. Maybe you could ask at Mary&Martha's shop (on Peace Avenue in UB). They have direct contacts to people who do handicrafts.
