Local producer makes sheepskin cover for ger
SocietyZavkhan /MONTSAME/ Sheepskin cover for Mongol ger has been selected as the special product during a fair for Tsagaan Sar holiday named ‘The Joined Power - Gate to Development’ organized in Zavkhan aimag, reported on January 17.
Successfully held for
the fourth time, more than 300 women from 24 soums of
Zavkhan aimag participated in the fair, making sells of over MNT 100
million.
Inventor of the sheepskin cover D.Amarjargal said that three years ago she planned
to make roof ring and wall covers with sheepskin. Since she launched the work last
November, Amarjargal has made covers for roof ring and wall for two
middle-sized ger A middle-sized roof ring cover is made with 100 sheepskins while
a wall cover is made with 20.
“Since the product is
not made for wearing like clothes, there is no need to over flatten the
sheepskin. It is enough to let the sheepskin soak in ant acid and flatten out
the sheepskin using a setting out machine. Sheepskin cover has advantages
including warm and lighter than felt. Moreover, it doesn’t attract moths owing
to the fact that it is produced by soaking in ant acid.”, the producer noted.
According to her,
demand of the sheepskin covers has been high.
