Suffolk puffs or yo yo’s, I went to find my yo yo makers and found a 90mm or 9cm , in old money 3 1/2 inches maker and the 60mm 6cm or in old money 2 1/4 inches. I don’t like European measurements I am a feet and inches girl . I made two yo yo’s (Suffolk puffs). To show you all.
I like the 3 1/2 inch size on the left and make some mor out of my material stash. The yo yo makers are by clover sold on Amazon. How do you make your Suffolk puffs liz.?
I think I have some plastic tools of some kind to make these but I could never make them tight enough and they came undone and looked messy. I don’t remember the tools looking quite like yours though, but it’s been a while since I used them. Yours look very neat and tidy and tighter than mine did
Yours are so neat linda , I just cut circle and do running stitch round edge to gather
Yes- I've got to recalculate cm into inches before I have any concept of the actual measurements. Bit like in the film 'Brazil' I've made some mistakes. That's why I like You Tubes from the States because I relate to them immediately.
Got some of these too - somewhere., from way back. Must look them out!
