| Crochetdoll Caitlin Bongers |
This is the
first doll we made, we used lots of different materials and techniques.
The
hair is still crocheted on the head on this one, with the other dolls we sewed
the hair onto the head.
The base is
crochet with Ayumi, a silk, ramie and wool blend.
The hair is our yarn Yumi, a
silk and yak blend.
The top is also Yumi but hand dyed with walnut.
The skirt
was made with a cotton fabric and embroidered with a silk thread.
The cowl is
hand spun and hand knit with beautiful quality Dutch alpaca.

The second
doll wears a little kimono jacked dyed with madder and walnut and embroidered
with silk. The dyed fabric is cotton.
The skirt
is made of linen. Her hair is also made with Yumi but this time it was dyed
with walnut.
We truly
enjoy making these dolls and clothes and will be making more in the future ;-)

We are also
working on a pattern for the base of the doll and tutorials on how to make
clothes.
The yarn I used here on a new kimono jacket is already available in
our etsy shop.
Omdat we steeds meer Amerikaanse en Engelstalige lezers en klanten hebben gaat Caitlin voortaan haar stukjes in het Engels schrijven.
Op Caitlins Instagram kan je al twee kleine filmpjes over deze poppen bekijken.
