FAQs

A Turkoman yurt band, historically known as a yolami, is a long handwoven textile strip crafted by Central Asian nomadic tribes to structurally reinforce and decorate the interior and exterior lattice framework of a yurt.

These textiles are hand-spun from sheep wool, occasionally with natural cotton highlights, using flatweave techniques such as warp-faced plain weave combined with raised pile patterning or soumak brocading.

Authentic early 20th-century pieces display natural dye color variations, dense hand-spun wool yarn, traditional geometric diamond motifs, and minor structural variations characteristic of portable nomadic looms.

Large tribal bands can be mounted along architectural ceiling beams, draped along a grand staircase wall, framed in sections as wall art, or integrated into custom upholstery projects.

Keep the textile in a stable, humidity-controlled environment out of direct sunlight, clean gently using a low-suction vacuum with a soft brush attachment, and consult a professional textile conservator for deep cleaning.
