Description
[This is a custom order for three dolls, one monk with blush fabric and two nuns, one with blush and one with peach fabric.]
These soft dolls are for the youngest little ones. They’re crafted from cotton knit and stuffed with sheep’s wool which is traditional for Waldorf-type toys. There are no parts able to be pulled or chewed off. Each doll is approximately 5 to 7 inches high, just right for little hands. Equal parts machine and hand-sewing. These are a good size to tuck in the diaper bag and bring out for church, and they’re quiet too!
The nun dolls have hands peeping out from under their veils and a “prayer rope” is embroidered right onto the doll’s right hand with black embroidery thread. The monk has two arms stitched down and a prayer rope is embroidered into his right hand. The cotton knit for the skin is manufactured especially for dolls and resists pilling. The side seams are triple stitched for durability.
These make wonderful gifts for new babies and as baptismal gifts.
Care: Hand wash with a very small amount of a mild detergent in cool water. Gently squish the doll in the water without rubbing or wringing. Rinse thoroughly in the same way. Gently press out as much water as possible, then roll in a towel and press out additional water. Lay flat to dry. Do not machine wash or use heat as the wool stuffing will felt which will cause the doll to harden and lose shape. Wool has natural antimicrobial properties and will resist mildew and bacteria.

The dolls are precious and very well made. This is the 4th time I have ordered her dolls and have been happy enough each time to come back when I need a baby gift.
