I have a frame that is a 15 x15. There are 9 nails spread evenly apart. I have attached a picture, not a great drawing but hopefully you will get the idea. If you need more info, please email me at angelfyre05 AT gmail.com. My name is Cathy.

I ran across this site and seen a person named peterssue has the board that makes pom pom pillow tops. I am also trying to find out how as I did them years ago. I need to no the size of the board and how far apart the nails were. If I remember right I used 3 different yards and cut all the way down to last 8. I cant recall how many times I did each color. Anyone that could help I would be so thankfull. I would like to do these again as a winter hobby. thank you so much
How do I make the frame to make vintage pom pom pillows? I need directions. Thank you.

First make a wood frame larger than the finished size of the pillow top. Next mark the frame at carefully measured intervals but I don't remember if you want an even or odd number of marks. Drive long nails into this marks deep enough to stay, but leave sticking out.
The yarn is woven back and forth across these but I don't remember the pattern; I presume you do all one direction and then at the corner, go around the nail there and go in the other direction keeping the tension the SAME on the yarn and do this until there are at lease three yarns around each nail. It can't be too tight or you will never be able to to slip the yarn off the nails.
When you have finished weaving the yarn, next make the pompoms by tying three or four (again not sure of the number) pieces of short yarn around the yarn on the frame where the yarns cross. Fluff out and trim, and then carefully remove from the frame. Sorry I can't be more exact.
I am looking for the pattern to make pom pom pillows and rugs. I need all the information, how to make the loom, and how to make the pillow tops/rugs. I made one about 40 years ago when I was in elementary school, but the great aunt that taught me how to do it is no longer alive, and no one around where I live knows the information, but they remember the pillows and rugs!
Thanks.

Thank you, but I was looking for a frame that nails on it that I wound yarn around many times, then tied and clipped.
Your rug looks it would be fun to run my toes through! I might have to try making one of those.
Does anyone remember how to make yarn pom pom pillows?
