These work great for making fast pom-poms, as long as you wind the yarn evenly! Easy to use. I bought all four sizes and love them all.

Up until I got these handy gadgets, I had generally avoided making pom-poms. Now that I have these, I'm back in love with pom-poms.

Using cardboard as my base was tricky, because the cardboard sometimes bent if it wasn't stiff enough or it would snag the yarn as I tried to remove the yarn from the cardboard.

I've also used the Lion Brand donut-shaped pom-pom makers, which work well, but looping the yarn through the center of the makers can be tedious, because you can't do it in one fluid wrapping motion as you can using a cardboard "maker".

So along comes the Clover pom-pom makers using the best of both worlds....1) fluid wrapping of yarn and 2) ease of removing the pom-pom. Not only that, it has a way of indicating when you have wrapped enough yarn...you simply fill up the C-shaped "arms". No more wimpy-looking pom-poms.

The Clover makers work similarly to the donut-shaped makers, in that two pieces are held and wrapped together with yarn, then the yarn is cut between the pieces and pulled apart. But the Clover gadgets differ from the donut-shaped makers in that there are two "half donuts" (or arms) to wrap. The two halves are snapped closed before cutting the yarn to form the finished pom-pom. Sounds strange, but it works really well.

I highly recommend checking out Cloverneedlecraft's "how to" video on YouTube. Also I recommend use of small sharp scissors for cutting the pom-pom yarn.

I have bought both the Large set and the Small set of makers, which gives me four different sizes to play with. Back in love with pom-poms.

Easy to use. No clear instructions but you can find more about it on you tube.

I love gadgets, so I've tried every pom-pom maker I've ever seen and this is the best. I used to teach fiber arts to Mentally Retarded and Developmentally Disabled Adults, and even they were able to turn out beautiful pom-poms with this tool.
I like it because I can get consistent results, use multiple colors of yarn, put it down if interrupted, and it is very quick and easy. Easily worth the money if you are making pom-poms consistantly.

I found the pom pom maker very easy to use. It came with easy to follow directions and turned out perfect pom poms for the childrens' hats that I have been knitting.

Prior to purchasing this gadget, I had tried making pompoms using D.I.Y. instructions. What a mistake. For just a small price, this pompom maker works perfectly and more importantly, takes virtually no time to get a great result. We attach distinctively colored pompoms to our otherwise non-descript luggage to make those pieces easily identifiable on a baggage carousel.

I happened upon a Youtube video for this pompom maker. She made it look so easy, that I decided that I needed one. Before using this, I used cardboard cutout circles to make my pompoms. The device can be a little squirrelly when first beginning to wrap the arms, it was a little difficult to keep both sides of the device even and together. I will say that it was still much faster than using the cardboard. I think it works better if you wrap the arms more than 3 times, but that makes a really tight puff and not a very loose one. The less yarn you use, the more likely the strands are to come out of the device before you can tie the string around them. I did struggle to get the tie tight on the first pompom, even though i thought I had it tight enough...I feel like there is a bit of a learning curve to using this with ease, but if you make a lot of pompoms, this is absolutely worth it...

Really enjoy these and have used them quite often recently as I am making a ton of hats. At first I overwrapped them and came out with a giant fuzz ball, so the trick is to not overwrap and you will have a perfect pompom everytime!

I love this!!!! I've never done anythign with yarn before but needed something to do for my daughters birthday. I wish I had more time and ordered it sooner, I would have made pompom garland. I looked up a quick you tube video on how to use it and was making pompoms in no time.
