Mongolian Wool Craft

Mongolian Wool Crafters / Nooson Zangilaa Cooperative Union sales high quality felt and wool craft products to foreign tourists, expatriates living in Mongolia and Mongolians. Mongolian Wool Craft unites 250 home producers who have all come from disadvantaged backgrounds and all the products sold are a valuable income source and opportunity for our producers. These producers have been trained in felt and spinning methods over 10 years through the support of Norwegian Lutheran Mission in Mongolia. By purchasing products through Tsagaan Alt, you are directly providing income to people who were previously living below the poverty line. Most of our producers now receive an average income of $150 to $300 per month.

In conjunction with Norwegian Lutheran Mission in Mongolia and the International Trade Centre (ITC) Mongolian Wool Crafters have participated several international and domestic exhibitions and competitions. At these events, the products have received numerous awards and recognition such as Mongolian "Best 99 products 2005 & 2007", "Green Label" for eco product 2006 and Prize for Export 2007.
We received the Best Export Products from recent international trade fairs. We also attended various international trade fairs, most recently the Ambiente Trade Fair in Frankfurt (February 2008) which resulted in extremely positive feedback and a large number of export orders.

The products have gone through a strict quality control process and all goods are made and processed from natural, raw materials sourced entirely from within Mongolia. The production of felt is based on traditional environmentally friendly Mongolian techniques. Everything is done by hand, from the laborious cleaning of the wool to the demanding felting process.
