Instructions for pompoms from the fork:
Step 1:
Take a fork with four prongs. Knot the wool in the centre.
Step 2:Now wrap the wool around the entire fork to form a fat bundle.
Step 3:After you have wrapped the wool, shorten the thread and cut a thread from the ball. Tie a tight knot in the centre of the bundle. As tightly as you can. Now the bundle can be pushed off the fork.
Step 4:Cut all the loops of the bundle and trim the woollen threads to one length. This makes the pompoms round like a ball and nice and fluffy.
You may need to practise a bit, but after that it really is child's play. I had already thought about making a snowball chain out of pompoms.
