World Wide Recognized

De Witte Engel Doll Jersey has gained worldwide recognition for its thick high quality and extra soft & smooth feel. Doll Jersey has special requirements in its manufacturing which is why we have imported this fabric from the Netherlands.

The quality of De Witte Engel Doll Jersey is elevated by a double-knit technique. This technique makes their Doll Jersey thicker and more durable as it has two layers of knit together instead of one.

Important Note:

This muslin will shrink when washed or dampened. So it is perfect for dolls designs/patterns that call for "shrinkable muslin" and use the "Dampen and Shrink Method." This is a technique where after completing and stuffing your doll body it is dampened causing the fabric to shrink and you end up with a firm doll body.
