2. Place a strand between the templates
3. Wrap the yarn around the template lenthwise.
4. To add second color wrap the strand of the second color around the part of the pattern. The more yarn you wrap the more second color there willl be in the pom pom.
5. Carefully cut the yarn directly at the centerline of the template.
6. Take to sides of the strand placed between two templates and tie a knot.
7. Fluff the pom pom and you’re done!
