Made from fine, soft merino wool, this material offers superior manageability and a realistic texture, allowing for the creation of intricate, detailed hairstyles.

FAQs
Can this yarn be used for knitting small garments?
While it is made of merino wool, it is specifically processed as doll hair and is sold in small quantities, making it impractical for knitting garments.
How many dolls can I style with one ball?
You can typically create three to four elaborate hairstyles from one 10cm ball.
Is this product safe for children's toys?
The yarn is soft and non-toxic, but as it is intended for detailed crafting and decorative dolls, it is best for adult crafters or supervised play.
How do I attach the hair to the doll?
The yarn can be attached using fabric glue, stitching, or a needle-felting tool depending on your doll's base material.
Can I use heat tools like a curling iron on this hair?
No, avoid using heat styling tools as they may damage the delicate merino wool fibers.
Troubleshooting
Yarn shedding or pulling loose during styling
Apply a small amount of fabric-safe adhesive to the base of the hair section before securing it to the doll.
Fiber frizziness
Lightly mist with water and gently smooth with your fingers to align the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your doll head has a clean surface for hair attachment. Use fabric-safe glue or a needle-felting tool to secure the wool fibers directly to the doll's head. When styling, use smooth-tipped tools to avoid snagging the merino fibers. For care, keep the finished dolls in a dry, dust-free environment. If the hair becomes slightly frizzy over time, a light mist of water and gentle smoothing with your fingers can help restore its shape. Avoid using harsh chemicals or washing machines, as the wool is designed for decorative display items.
