When desired thickness and plumpness of pompom to be is reached take the front end of the short string and pull it over to the back of the fork thru the middle prong on the other side of the "pompom"to tie a tight half reef knot ( make sure you only tie a half knot though )

Cut the the loops of wool so the POMPOMS looks fuzzy and roll it in your hands to spread it out. ( assuming it doesn't fall apart because you didn't tie your knot tight enough) you should now have a square-ish POMPOM
