The reason for this will be the next post.
Step 1: Cut a piece of cardboard the lenth you want your pom pom to be
Step 2: Cut a slit in the bottom to help hold the yarn while beginning the next step
Step 3: Wrap the yarn continously around the cardboard. The more you wrap, the fuller the pom pom will be.
Step 4: Slide the wrapped yarn off of cardboard and tie and knot tightly a piece of yarn around the middle.
Step 5: Cut the circled yarn so that it will be straight and stick out. Trim to desired length or just to tidy it up to all the same length. Enjoy your yarn pom pom!

This brought back some memories – when i was little my mom used to keep me busy making these while she knitted :)Thanks for reminding me
you can use your thumb and forefinger with a space instead of using a cardboard. i learned this from a türkish tv-programm
thanks for the tip!
