How felt becomes shelter

1

Pressure, not speed

We compress each layer for six full hours, letting the fibers bind at their own pace — the way steppe herders taught us.

2

Water that knows the land

Sourced from the same mountain streams that nourished the flocks, our water carries the minerals wool remembers.

3

One fleece, one maker

Every Kigiz piece traces back to a single herder family and a single pair of hands in our workshop.

4

Thickness earned in layers

Fourteen passes of carded fleece, rolled and re-rolled, until the felt holds its shape without a single stitch.
