I have tons of tutorials on Patreon so I don't have a lot of time to publish more here, but hoping this year I am more organized to do that.

This is so helpful; thank you! Do you have a recommendation for dolls being made for younger children? My daughter loves dolls so much, but I’m not sure she’s ready for alpaca hair.
@Figandme4 жыл бұрын
Yes, use mohair yarn and crochet it into a cap. In my experience is the one that holds the best for children's play.

I really appreciate this video. But how do you put it in the head? Are you using a crochet hat? Thank you

Hi Fabs! Thank you so much for this lovely video 🥰 Should I use dark coloured tulle for dark hair? Does it matter?
@Figandme2 жыл бұрын
Yes it matters. Try to match the colour of the tulle to the colour of the root of the alpaca, so you can't really see it.

Amazing video this has helped me out a lot thank you so much ! Can you use lace ribbon to sew the alpaca hair on or does it have to be tulle ?
@Figandme4 жыл бұрын
You certainly can but the design of the lace ribbon might be distracting or visible as you move the doll hair, that's why I prefer tulle but I have seen other dollmakers using that material too.

Do you wash and card before making wefts please?

Yes

how many grams are needed for one doll?
@Figandme Жыл бұрын
Depends on the length of the fiber and size of the head and how thick you want the wefts to be and how far apart you will space them in the head. I recommend starting with 100 grams to be on the safe side, but if you are making a large doll that won't be nearly enough.

As long as you want…and in order to achieve the number of inches that you need to cover the size of doll head you are covering.

Hello 👋. Wonderful videos and so relaxing . Do you wash your locks and dry before making your wefts or could I soak and clean them after ?
@Figandme2 жыл бұрын
@@jeanettpagan5150 I wash the locks before I weft them as I don't like working with the dirty fiber on my sewing machine. I have a very thorough doll hair series on Patreon (published last year) that you can still watch today, regarding processing raw fiber and dyeing doll hair. You would need to subscribe to the doll making tier in order to watch all the videos relating to the doll hair series. www.patreon.com/figandme
