Pom Pom Peds - Materials
- 2 skeins of Hand Jive's Nature's Palette 100% merino wool. These colors are Coral and Walnut. Please note that to make 2 pairs of socks you will probably need all 185 yards of these skeins, so be careful substituting...
- 1 set of US #2 double pointed needles. I used Crystal Palace's 6 inch bamboo needles.
- 1 Susan Bates Pom Pom Maker (Optional - you can also make pom poms with a handmade cardboard template.)
UPDATE August 18, 2011: Since Nature's Palette is no longer available, we have redone our pom pom peds in Anzula's Squishy - please scroll to the top of this page to see how they look (or click here). One skein each in two colors of Squishy makes 4 pairs of socks!

I would love to make this pattern but as I am in Australia I will have to use a different yarn. Does the term fingering yarn mean it is approximately a four ply or is it a thinner sock yarn?
Thanks for all of the lovely patterns.

This yarn is equivalent to a 4 ply yarn.
Thanks for your interest!
Thanks
You can use a circular needle if you use the Magic Loop method. There is a good video explaining it here:

Thank you for your question!
