Abstract

Threads of hair are embroidered in loops on a flat, flexible base, for example, a textile base, in an area bounded by a desired wig contour. Individual threads or tufted multiple threads are embroidered in loops. Thereafter, the embroidered area is removed from the base along with the wig contour by cutting or punching. The flexible wig is glued onto a doll's head, cut to length and combed.
