Prym PomPom Set Yes, you can use 2 circles of cardboard. I also have a set of disks that get the job done. But this inexpensive set of arches made winding the yarn (the most annoying part when working w/ a disk) extremely easy. Purchased at Ewe-Nique Knits, Royal Oak. Directions are in several languages, including English. Absolutely recommend this (see last step for the second best part: the price (the best part is how freaking easy it was to use)). |
 |
Step 1: fit the arches together, back-to-back, and wind yarn around each. |
 |
Step 2: Fit arch sets together |
 |
Step 4: Cut around groove Then, tie a length of thread between the 2 circles and tie. Remove circles. Tie pom-pom tightly, fluff, and trim. I forgot to take a pic of the finished pompom, but it was big and fluffy, exactly the way I wanted it. Best of all... this set cost me less than $3! |

I heard that Clover was coming out with an identical set, but haven't seen those yet either. That was the set that I'd actually heard of, and when I saw these (from Germany, I think), I snatched them right off the peg.
Since this round is practically over, and I'll know who you are soon, I think I can safely offer to pick up one for you.
