    Smile Help with Pomp a doodle yarn from Red Heart

    I bought this on clearance and I can't figure out how to crochet the thread between the balls to keep the tension right and to see my stitches. It was on clearance so most of you understand why I bought it and it was red so that made it easy for me. I want to make a scarf from it. Any help is appreciated.

    Yeah it's great to buy stuff on clearance then you bring it home and like what's this....lol; it's two stitches between each 'ball'; I know Red Heart on their site has socks to make w/ pomp....hope the two stitches inbetween each ball makes sense....

    I've never used this yarn either! But I do know why you bought it! Clearance is a magic word in my book!!

    When you are working with Pompadoodle, the key is to NOT try to pull the pompoms through the loops with the crochet hook.

    Here's a youtube video from Coats & Clark that should help

    Great, ya'll had already helped me with your instructions but the video reinforced what ya'll said so thank you. I made a scarf but I think it will be better the next time I use it after all the help.
