Frequently Asked Questions
How do you wash a Hey Bitsy doll?
We recommended hand washing our dolls with mild soap. Once hand washing is completed, lay the doll flat to air dry.
Hey Bitsy dolls facial features are very detailed, three-dimensional and can risk getting snagged in the washing machine. Washing machines can also cause pilling from the friction over time. If you must wash in the washing machine, set the machine to a delicate or hand-wash setting. Place the doll in a laundry mesh bag or pillow case for extra protection.
How and where are your dolls made?
Hey Bitsy dolls are meticulously hand knitted by skilled artisans in Peru, showcasing their exceptional craftsmanship. Knitted with utmost care, each doll is lovingly created using 100% OEKO-TEX certified cotton yarn.
