Amigurumi & Crochet Dolls Manufacturer
WOOLORA is a TÜV Rheinland-verified amigurumi and crochet doll manufacturer in Yiwu, China, operating a network of 30,000+ certified artisans across four provinces for B2B importers, retail brands and gift distributors.
What "amigurumi" means for a buyer
Amigurumi is the Japanese craft of crocheting small stuffed figures — dolls, animals and characters — from continuous yarn rather than sewn plush panels. For importers, the distinction matters commercially: amigurumi is made by hand, so capacity, consistency and quality control behave differently from machine-sewn plush.
Why buyers choose crochet over plush
- Higher perceived value. A hand-crocheted doll reads as an artisanal or heritage product, supporting premium retail pricing and gift positioning.
- Species and character flexibility. A new character usually means a new pattern, not a new mould and minimum tooling run.
- Lower tooling barrier. There is no injection or die-cut tooling to amortise, which keeps small and mid-size programmes viable.

How a doll programme runs, step by step
1. Brief and quotation
Send a reference image, sketch, existing sample or product link. Our team returns a costed quotation within 24 hours, including material specification, packaging and DDP freight.
2. Pattern and technical blueprint
Our in-house pattern studio converts the brief into a 4-view technical blueprint — front, back and both profiles — so stitch counts, proportions and colour blocking are agreed before any yarn is committed.
3. Physical sample
A colour swap takes about 1 day; an entirely new custom doll takes 5–7 business days. Samples ship DDP so you receive them without customs handling.
4. Mass production and inspection
After sample approval, production runs 15–30 days. Every batch is pull-force tested to our 90N standard and inspected in the Yiwu centre before dispatch.

Crochet dolls sold into the EU, UK or US are treated as toys and require supporting conformity evidence. We supply the documentation set buyers need for Amazon, Etsy, retail chains and museum gift shops:
- EN71 (EU) and ASTM F963 (US) test reports
- CE and UKCA conformity documentation
- OEKO-TEX Standard 100 yarn certificates
- TÜV Rheinland verification reports
- Bilateral NDA before any design file exchange, protecting your artwork and IP
