Frequently Asked

What makes The Yarn Squad different from other sellers of doll clothes?
I am located in the USA, so shipping only takes days, not weeks or months.
The Yarn Squad doll fashions are lovingly handmade by me with attention to detail like pre-washing the fabric to test for color fastness to protect your doll from staining.
I use doll-scaled fabrics and micro buttons for a realistic look and offer customization options.
Customers can even send their fabric to me for a personalized touch.
Customer satisfaction is my top priority. So I make unboxing fun with stickers, cards, and surprises, each one unique to grow your collection.
Does The Yarn Squad still make custom amigurumi portrait dolls?
Unfortunately, no. I love expressing my creativity and making people happy with custom portrait dolls. However, it was becoming a stressful hobby that actually cost me time and money.

How do I care for handmade doll clothes by The Yarn Squad?
Doll clothing should be stored in a clean dry place away from direct sunlight.
Hand wash only: Wash very gently with mild liquid soap and water. Rinse well. Lay the item on a clean dry towel and gently roll it up to absorb the excess water.
I run all of the colored fabrics that I use through a rinse cycle with water only in an effort to prevent staining. Do not leave your doll in an outfit for a long period to avoid staining from any clothes she may wear.
For yarn items: Hand wash very gently with only a very few drops of mild liquid soap in clean water. Rinse well and lay the item on a clean dry towel and gently roll it up to absorb the excess water.
Shape the item to it's original shape and lay flat to dry.
