Can you tell which is which? 4 ply is on the left! The 4 ply one takes longer to make, but because there are more cut ends in the same size pompom, it has a smoother and denser feeling. Here are two pompoms made with the same Clover maker, using the same colour yarn, but in 4 ply/fingering and 8 ply/DK. You can change the thickness of the yarn to get a different density. There are so many ways you can make your pompoms unique and suitable for whatever you want to do with them! However it also doesn’t require you to be able to draw two circles of the right diameter, so it is super easy to get started! This formerly oblong pompom has been trimmed to the right size. It needed more trimming than other techniques to get a nice shape. I found that this technique made a more unevenly shaped pompom fresh off the cardboard.
Freshly cut, and more of a pom-oblong A pompom in need of a haircut Fully loaded rectangular pompom form View from above Don’t forget to tie it off! Tied off ballĬut through your loops at both sides, and then shape your pompom. If you didn’t add the slot and yarn, you can slide the bundle off and tie it after you have removed it. Once you have finished winding, tie the piece of yarn you slid through the slot at the beginning around the middle of your yarn. Don’t wind too tight or you will start to collapse the cardboard. Then cut a 10cm length of yarn and slide into the slot you’ve created. I recommend cutting a partial slit from one end of the cardboard to the midpoint. You’ll need lots of extra yarn to accommodate trimming it down to the right shape.
Cut a single rectangle that is a bit wider than your desired size.
