The Wool from We Are Knitters

Recommended knitting needle size: US 15 (10mm) or larger

Pom Info
This large faux fur pom pom measures roughly 8/8.5" in diameter from tip to tip.

This fur has a light brown colored base that fades into a darker brown with black at the tips.

I have taken these photos in natural lighting to best capture the true color of the fur.

All poms are made by hand and cut from luxury, high-quality, long-pile fabric.

Each pom pom comes with two long strands of thick cord to easily attach to the top of a hat. The cord I use is a squishy, fabric covered nylon that reduces slipping of the tie and will keep your pom securely attached.
