Your
Doodle-Loom Set comes with large, medium and small tools.
In the following example, we use the medium tool.
PLACING
THE YARN
 Start
by placing your yarn onto the Doodle-Loom tool. Holding
the tool in your left hand, place the yarn in the notch
on the right, leaving approximately a one-inch tail.
Bring the yarn around the back and through the lower
arch…across the front left side of the tool…and into
the notch on the left at the handle.
WRAPPING
THE YARN
 Now,
starting at the center, start winding the yarn up and
over the upper arch of the tool, wrapping from the center
to the right, then back across to the left, until you
have evenly and thickly covered the entire width and
length of the tool.
The
amount of yarn you use will determine how full your
pompon will be when it's finished. The size of your
pompon is determined by the size of the Doodle-Loom
you choose to use. The small tool will make approximately
a 1 ½" pompon. The medium tool makes a 3" pom-pon and
the large tool will make a 4" pompon.
CUTTING
THE YARN
Using your scissors, first cut the yarn from the skein
and then cut the back of the yarn behind the handle…take
both ends, pull the yarn tight, and tie a half-knot
and hold firmly.
Place
your scissors at the end of the channel near the notch
on the right side and cut along the top, using the channel
as your guide.
Holding
the pompon with your thumb and finger, remove the tool,
tighten the half-knot, and then tie a full knot to secure
the pom pon.
And
you've made a full and even pompon!
You
don't even have to trim it. It's perfect every time!
Pompons
are the perfect accessories for almost any project,
from trendy fashions to traditional home decor. You
can tie them together or sew them into place with a
few quick stitches using a complementary shade of thread
or embroidery floss. Whatever your project -- from purses
to placemats, hats to stuffed animals -- pompons will
add an elegant or playful flare.
