Learn the secret to a fluffy and tightly pulled pom pom
Tying your pompom well is one of the keys to making a perfect fluffy and dense pompom. A loose eye ways a sad pompom!
If you've always wondered why sometimes your pompom looks loose regardless of many layers of patiently wrapped yarn or ever struggled to pull that thread and so hard only for it to loosen again, y'all'll beloved this method!
The pom pom challenge
Your pompom needs to exist tied equally tight as possible for all the yarn to gather closely in the middle to get in every bit dense as it can be. Don't trim excessive amounts of yarn when you can pull the yarn tighter to the centre first.
You pompom will be stronger and longer lasting and you lot can minimise the corporeality of trimming. Nevertheless this essential footstep is non as straightforward as information technology should be.
- Yarn or thread tin can interruption when you pull also hard. This is the worst example scenario. Always employ a strong thread.
- However difficult you pull your thread, it loosens again before yous can knot it. We used to press the loop difficult with a finger tip while trying to make a knot, it's frustrating and the loop volition always notice a way to slip dorsum a bit.
- The final knot can as well loosen over time, resulting in your pompom eventually falling autonomously after regular employ (whatever you exercise with your pompoms).
Well, this is now all history. We've discovered waxed thread , tested to perfection and we're very happy to say the method below is the ultimate answer to tying a pompom – it'south THE All-time mode!
Watch our video and read more beneath. Nosotros're pretty sure that this will be a cherished secret to your perfect pompoms from now on. : )
What is waxed thread and why it's the best thing ever to tie your pompoms?
Nosotros've tried tying our pompoms with every thread around. Eventually we came across some waxed cord which worked wonders without slipping back, but they were also thick. To cut a long story short, later on ordering multiple types of waxed threads from around the world, we found Fil Au Chinois waxed linen thread from France, which is the best matter ever. We're using this for all of our pompom making now. No more than loose pompoms, no more frustrating manoeuvres, no more insecure knots! (ie. knots that don't feel good about themselves)
Ok, and so what's so special?
Waxed linen thread is very potent linen thread dipped in beeswax and starch. Very absurd. It's normally used for jewellery making and leather piece of work… and now for pompom making!
Because of the mixture of wax & starch, the surface is 'waxy' (it'south not sticky to the affect at all) and information technology feels smooth. When you loop the thread a few times, there's a indicate when plenty friction is caused between the surfaces that the thread stops slipping back.
We ran many tests and the magic number seems to be iii. If you loop the waxed thread 3 times, information technology volition stop slipping back and stay in the position that you pulled it. You tin can then simply add together a knot or ii to secure it without your pompom loosening during the process.
So we call information technologythe dominion of three. Every time we make a pompom, small or big, we brand three simple loops, pull tight and necktie a knot. Spot on every time!
If your thread even so slips back after 3 loops in odd cases, just add together more loops until it stops slipping. Simple!
About Fil Au Chinois
This special make deserves more mention. Fil Au Chinois has been manufacturing high quality linen thread in France since 1847! Sewing machines didn't even be then. It'due south still manufactured in France and the name reflects a time past when everything from China was exotic and super hot in Europe. Silk, teas, beautiful ceramics and prints… everything from The Orient inspired countless artists at that fourth dimension.
Nosotros tried many other waxed threads, some were made of polyester (this for the dental floss as well), some probably with petroleum based wax, some were too thick, well-nigh of them just didn't have the entreatment and quality of Fil Au Chinois.
Fil Au Chinois threads on Pom Maker are 100% linen thread made with beeswax, manufactured in French republic by a historical visitor.
And information technology makes pompom making a breeze!
