Yarn Recommendations for Plush Dolls
Skin colored plush yarn can be tricky to find… But I wanted to share some of my favorite options as well as giving you some examples. Something that I have found with trying to find skin colored yarn is that looking at the yarn in the skein can be hard to imagine in doll form. But once the doll is complete it looks more natural. Maybe that is just me?
Either way, hopefully you can see some more options for your plush yarn dolls!

*Note: Parfait Chunky is not an exact size match for the blanket yarns, whatever the label says. It is close, but you may need to make some adjustments. For example, for the hair on this doll I added an extra row before I did her bangs. I also adjusted my hook size. This is just something to be aware of, not to deter you from trying it!*
