Description

This little family of four handmade dolls is made in Guatemala from cotton thread, tissue paper and a natural fibre called cibaque. There are two taller figures and two smaller ones, so the set reads as a family at a glance, each with a tiny orange face, a tuft of dark hair and arms held out wide. Their clothes are wound in bright thread, with woven cloth wrapped round some of the bodies, in shades such as blue, green, yellow, red and orange. Because every doll is made by hand, the colours change from set to set, and no two families are quite alike. At their tallest the dolls stand 3cm high, 2cm long and half a centimetre wide, small enough to sit in the palm of your hand.

These worry dolls make a charming keepsake for anyone who loves small, handmade things. They sit happily on a bedside table, a bookshelf or a desk, and they tuck easily into a pocket, a purse or a trinket box. They are a playful toy as much as an ornament, lovely to hold and set out in a row. The printed card they come on shows a cheerful house with the words Family Worry Free, and the line From the Mayan people to you runs along the bottom, so they are ready to give just as they are.

Each doll is wound by hand around slender limbs, with pale tips left showing at the hands and feet and the thread wrapped close for the clothes. They are delicate, so treat them gently: keep them dry and away from direct heat, and lift any dust with a soft, dry paintbrush. The round hole at the top of the card lets it hang from a hook or a pin. For a thoughtful gift, slip the card into a greetings card or a small box with a note.

Frequently Asked

How big are the worry dolls?

At their tallest the dolls stand 3cm high, 2cm long and half a centimetre wide. The two smaller figures in each family are tinier still.

What are the dolls made from?

Each doll is made by hand from cotton thread, tissue paper and a natural fibre called cibaque. These are wound and wrapped into tiny figures.

How many dolls come in the set?

The set includes four dolls, two taller figures and two smaller ones, which together make up a little family on a printed house card.

Is every set the same colour?

No. Every doll is handmade in Guatemala, so the thread colours change from set to set and each little family is slightly different from the next.

Where are the dolls made?

Each doll is handmade in Guatemala, and the card the set comes on carries the words From the Mayan people to you along the bottom.

How should I look after them?

The dolls are delicate, so keep them dry and away from direct heat, and brush away any dust gently with a soft, dry paintbrush.
