Stockinette - Gauze, Waldorf doll making Inner-head tubing

This listing is for 2 meter (78.75”) of Tubing

(See other listings for 2m, 5m or 10m pieces)

Gauze knit stockinette tubing is used to make the inner head for Waldorf, Waldorf-inspired and Natural Cloth Art Dolls.

100% cotton - made in Canada.

Use a double layer of tubing for doll sizes larger than 10” or when needle felting overtop of the gauze.

When determining which size to use, remember that a doll with a proportionately larger head will need wider tubing. If you plan to needle felt features on top of the stockinette, you might want to use a smaller size, if you plan to put the stockinette over needle felted feature to smooth out the felting, use a slightly larger size.
