But it's on saaaaaaaale. OTOH, how hard could it be to felt your own Nativity yurt? Start now and you've got plenty of time to finish it before next Xmas!
Meanwhile, while poking around more yurt lore, I noticed the Wikipedia illo thereof: a version of this photo (http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/empire/images/p87_6x__00006_.jpg), a color (not colorized) photograph that's nearly one hundred years old (http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/empire/). Given both the period and the setting, I can't decide whether that girl's clothing was dyed with aniline or cochineal or what-all, but I love the patterns (a three-legged upside-down chicken?).
