The Doll's House  @ The Red Barn in Rhodes

When visiting Rhodes Village, don't forget to stop - and shop - at the Red Barn,  a craft workshop in a
120-year-old stone barn at the edge of the village.



Everything in the Red Barn is hand-crafted by members of the local community and our
range of felt dolls - especially the big-nose Zugly Doll - is a unique Rhodes speciality.  

Definitely not Barbie dolls, maybe that's why kids love them so much!

The dolls are made from local wool that's hand-spun and felted at the Red Barn, and
then embroidered and assembled on site.

No two dolls are the same and each doll carries a certificate signed by the person who made it.

Doll-makers at the Red Barn. We start with the raw wool and make everything by hand.
