Pompoms are very popular these days. Actually they are everywhere.
On hats, on scarfs, on neck warmers, on mittens, on toys. They are enhancing the look of handmade products and they are so sweet. We have different types of pompoms. Small, big, fluffy, heart-shape, made of fur and so one. They are usually made with a help of a pompom maker. We can also find some pompoms sewn from a piece of fur cloth. But today I would like to introduce you a crochet pompom. The one in the pictures are made of:
KARTOPU Simli Tavsan
KARTOPU Zebra
KARTOPU Yumos
ALIZE Decofur

But as these are different types of eyelash yarns, I made a little bit of research for you from overseas and found this one:
LION BRAND YARN Fun Fur
ICE YARNS Eyelash Yarns
