I like to get yarn from KnitPicks, because they have a good natural selection at an affordable price. The post I wrote about books, was a list of three that I found helped me with my creativity and can be found here įor yarn, my best recommendation is natural yarns because they have a better look and feel but use whatever you’re most comfortable with. Thanks for sharing the books you like to read, I will have to look into them because I haven’t heard of them yet and I’m always looking for something good to read. Hi MJ, thank you so much for your kind words, I’m glad you are enjoying the blog □ ( affiliate link means if you click on the link and make a purchase you’ll be supporting The Weaving Loom with a very small commission at no extra cost to you!)ĭo you have one of these Clover pom pom makers? Do you like using it? After I figured out how to use it, I thought it worked nicely. If you’re interested, here is my affiliate link to the two pack that I got. You’ll have two thread ends to hang your pom from, fluff and trim your pom to your liking. This knot will hold the threads of your pom pom together and if it’s not tight enough the pom pom will fall apart. Now you can double knot that middle thread, pulling as tight as possible. Next pull the middle of your disk apart, it will come apart as two halves. You can tighten your single knot if needed. Once your sides are both wrapped, but the threads with your scissors along the blue sides, then take a thread that you’ll tie off the pom pom with and pull it around the middles of the blue sides and tie a single knot.Ĭarefully open the blue sides, working them away from the cut threads on both sides. As you can see my closed disk has two different colors on each side, but when I tie off my pom pom the pink and the coral will end up next to each other. I added different layers of colors, but mostly white thread, so my pom pom will mostly be white. I didn’t add as much thread and my pom pom is more scraggly, but I wanted this for what I’m making. The more thread you wrap around, the thicker your pom pom will be. Play around with the design of your pom pom. Wrap up both sides of the blue sides and then close the disk back up. I started with my string end facing out, because later you will cut the thread on the outside of each blue side. When starting keep your blue pieces together on each side and star wrapping the yarn you want your pom pom made out of. This is to allow you to pull a thread through the middle so you can tie off your pom pom. It has a disk shape with both sides that pull out and away from the middle. When I first saw this pom maker, I was a little confused as to how it worked and there were just 4 general steps included with it which definitely helped, but I want to talk about it more in depth. It was too long to include both pom pom makers in one post, so I will share the cardboard maker next week along with tips, so we all can have fun! And for those who don’t have one, I put together a step-by-step for a cardboard pom pom maker. I wanted to put together a step-by-step of how to use it with some tips for those who were wondering about this tool. I blame this obsession on the fact that I recently bought a Clover pom pom maker. They are so fun and easy to make, it’s a great mini break from weaving. The wrap counts, the final pompom size and density, how much you need to trim will vary.I think I’ve become pom pom obsessed. It’s also possible that you’ll need to trim a lot more with other makers than you’ll be doing with Pom Maker. This may not be doable with other makers. Other pompom makers may be limited to less wraps, or burst when you come to cutting if you wrap too much.Īlso with Pom Maker, you can wrap each half freely with different designs, so we’ll be wrapping the face side of the panda first, and then the back side to follow as a separate part (or you can wrap each part together with a friend). For example, we’re wrapping quite a lot of yarn here to make a dense pompom as Pom Maker can take a very thick layer of wraps, but you may not be able to wrap the same amount with other pompom makers. It is possible of course, but there might be some differences and you may get different results. We often get asked about using different pompom makers other than Pom Maker for our tutorials.
