Zachte mat van pom-poms

1   Cut the mesh to your chosen size.

2   Cut a piece of yarn to your chosen length and double it over. Place this doubled-over piece of yarn on the tool as illustrated. Now wind the yarn from the ball approx. 100 times around the widest of the two forks of the tool. (NB: this tool enables you to make pom-poms in two different sizes, dictated by the narrow or wide fork).

3   Tie the doubled-over piece of yarn tightly around the wound bundle of wool.

4   Cut the yarn open on one side of the tool. The tool has a deep groove all the way around to allow room for the blade of the scissors.

5   Tighten the doubled-over piece of yarn again and cut the yarn open on the other side of the tool. Tighten one more time and finish with a couple of double knots.

6   Trim the pom-pom to make it as round as possible. (Leave two of the long yarn ends for tying and cut off the other two yarn ends).

7   Tie each pom-pom onto the mesh using the long yarn ends of the pom-poms.
