This cotton Jersey Tube is a great way of making doll heads. The traditional method of making doll heads can be challenging on the hands this offers a less straining alternative. It is a round-knitted tube of stretchable cotton, which can be made into the base layer of the doll's head by sewing or knotting one end close. After forming a ball out of wool, insert into the tube to start forming the head. For extra sturdy heads a double layer can be used. When the head is in the desired shape tie it shut at the neck.

Available in 1.5cm, 2.5cm, 4cm, 6cm, 8cm, 10cm width.

SPICKY PIPE CLEANERS ~ Perfect for wrapping wool to make arms, legs, animals and more.

These Pipe Cleaners are unique. Though not visible beneath the fluff are tiny little metal wires, which will catch onto the wool when winding around. No more wool sliding up and down.

Produced by Steiff

______________________________

This fabric is made of 100% Mohair and is ideal for making hedgehog like spikes on small needle felted creatures as shown, or on dolls for hair.

The hairs, or quills, are slightly stiffened with gel and do indeed resemble the texture of a hedgehog, just softer! The backing is made from natural cotton.

There are three lengths of quills available (staple length). One known as "short and spiky" which is 9-11 mm, a medium staple length which is 17 mm and a long staple which is 25mm. Please see the last three pictures for comparison.

Made out of real natural feathers, these Angel wings are very soft and just lovely. Perfect for any angel to be, the wings will add a real-life touch to your creation. Unfortunately, they are unsuitable for children's toys, as the feathers can get 'ruffled up' easily; but are ideal for standalone decorative pieces or tree ornaments.

In a nutshell:

Real feathers
10 x 8 cm
String for hanging
Felt piece holds string and wings together

Listing stands for one set of wings.

These balls are skin coloured and can be used for making doll heads by using the ball straight off, you can draw and sew easily on it. Further, the balls are soft enough to add eyeline, chin line, and nose using string for binding. You can then insert the ball into the tube made from cotton jersey for a perfect doll head!
