Up until I got these handy gadgets, I had generally avoided making pom-poms. Now that I have these, I'm back in love with pom-poms.

Using cardboard as my base was tricky, because the cardboard sometimes bent if it wasn't stiff enough or it would snag the yarn as I tried to remove the yarn from the cardboard.

I've also used the Lion Brand donut-shaped pom-pom makers, which work well, but looping the yarn through the center of the makers can be tedious, because you can't do it in one fluid wrapping motion as you can using a cardboard "maker".

So along comes the Clover pom-pom makers using the best of both worlds....1) fluid wrapping of yarn and 2) ease of removing the pom-pom. Not only that, it has a way of indicating when you have wrapped enough yarn...you simply fill up the C-shaped "arms". No more wimpy-looking pom-poms.

The Clover makers work similarly to the donut-shaped makers, in that two pieces are held and wrapped together with yarn, then the yarn is cut between the pieces and pulled apart. But the Clover gadgets differ from the donut-shaped makers in that there are two "half donuts" (or arms) to wrap. The two halves are snapped closed before cutting the yarn to form the finished pom-pom. Sounds strange, but it works really well.

I highly recommend checking out Cloverneedlecraft's "how to" video on YouTube. Also I recommend use of small sharp scissors for cutting the pom-pom yarn.

I have bought both the Large set and the Small set of makers, which gives me four different sizes to play with. Back in love with pom-poms.

These work great for making fast pom-poms, as long as you wind the yarn evenly! Easy to use. I bought all four sizes and love them all.

I happened upon a Youtube video for this pompom maker. She made it look so easy, that I decided that I needed one. Before using this, I used cardboard cutout circles to make my pompoms. The device can be a little squirrelly when first beginning to wrap the arms, it was a little difficult to keep both sides of the device even and together. I will say that it was still much faster than using the cardboard. I think it works better if you wrap the arms more than 3 times, but that makes a really tight puff and not a very loose one. The less yarn you use, the more likely the strands are to come out of the device before you can tie the string around them. I did struggle to get the tie tight on the first pompom, even though i thought I had it tight enough...I feel like there is a bit of a learning curve to using this with ease, but if you make a lot of pompoms, this is absolutely worth it...
