We are excited to announce Project Robby’s first Pom Pom drive!
When sending out Keepsake Sets and Bereavement Sets we go through a lot of handmade pom poms! Lately, our amazing crocheters have been sending in handmade pom poms so that we can match them up and then add them to the hats that we send out.
Since making pom poms does not require any crochet experience, I thought this would be a fun way for those who do not crochet to get involved with the process.
How Can You Participate in the Pom Pom Drive?
- Send in handmade pom poms to Project Robby
How Do I Make Handmade Pom Poms?
- We use the Clover brand pom pom makers, but there are other brands as well! Some of the ladies even use cardboard for wrapping the yarn and making the pom poms. YouTube has a great variety of videos that you can watch.
What Size of Pom Poms
- We truly use ALL sizes. The Clover pom pom makers start at the XS ¾” and go up to the XL 4 ½” diameter.
What Colors?
- White is the most used color, but other colors that we use are: baby pink, baby blue, light yellow, mint, light grey, and ivory
What kind of yarn should I use for Pom Poms
- All brands of worsted weight (4) and smaller is what we typically use
Do you want the “tails” left on the pom poms?
Yes, please leave the 2 tails or the 4 tails for the larger pom poms as we use those to attach the pom pom to the hat
When Is the Pom Pom drive going to be hosted?
- Now through June 20th. If your package is postmarked before June 20th it will be entered into the drawing and counted for the final total.
