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.

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.

DOLL JERSEY ~ De Witte Engel Quality. The best in our opinion!
Well known for making Steiner/Waldorf Dolls, this double knitted fabric is a pleasure to work with and a pleasure to cuddle! It is knitted in the round creating a tube like fabric with no seams.
A little Tip - Doll fabric tends to lighten once made into a doll. When choosing your colour, consider going for a slightly darker colour.
Please read below for more info.
De Witte Engel in-house Doll Jersey has gained worldwide recognition for its thick high quality, wide colour range as well as for its extra soft and smooth feel. Doll jersey as a material has specific requirements which make the manufacturing process more complex than normal jersey. Therefore, doll jersey has become a specialty product for only a few companies in the world.
De Witte Engel Doll Jersey is made in Europe from ökotex certified, 100 % cotton yarns and is dyed according to European legislation code EN71 guidelines. These certificates proof that De Witte Engel Doll Jersey is natural, sustainable, and free from toxic and harmful substances and colourants, and especially safe to use in children’s toys.
The quality of De Witte Engel Doll Jersey is elevated by a double-knit technique. This technique makes our Doll Jersey thicker and more durable as it has two layers of knit together instead of one. This also means that when stretched, our Doll Jersey does not become see-through. These small but crucial steps make all the difference also for the final product the dolls. Even minor variations in the stretch or colour can affect the proportions, durability and life-likeness of the doll. Therefore, De Witte Engel 100 % cotton Doll Jersey is a reliable and consistent choice for crafters and doll makers in every corner of the world.
