My love for a pom-pom maker

I finally received my Clover pom-pom maker and I am in love!  Pom-poms are so easy to make with this.  Of course when I told my mother she said something along the line, "In my days we just used cardboard to make our pom-poms."  I tried cardboard; the yarn just kept falling out of the hole and I just wanted to hurl the whole thing across the room.  I want to make a good amount of pom-poms and I want it to be easy.

You can see below the Clover pom-pom maker (makes 3 3/8 inch pom-pom) and beside it is another device I found but the pom-poms were too small around 3 inches only.  It also came with a 2 1/2 inches maker and I even bought the 4 1/2 inches one as well.  I couldn't find these in any store around town and am glad I found them at Herrschners.  Of course, I bought some yarn at the same time.



This is what a pom-pom looks like with the Clover maker and they also look great on my Cables and Seed Stitch Hat with Pom Pom.
