Step 1Step 01. Materials

We only need yarn and a can (or some other kind of object to cast the yarn around). As you get more experience, you can use pretty much anything, and will get better at calibrating the radius of the object for the desired puff result.

Thanks for the instructions. I particularly like step 5 - trimming. Now I know where I've been messing up and why my puffs were not looking puffy. You can wrap the yarn around anything handy - like your hand! Or fingers if you want a small one.

You are absolutely right - you can just about use anything to wrap the yarn around. The can was just an example that i thought most people would have easily on hand. I'm glad to hear you are making puffs of every size!
