Jaritza

This week Isamay and Yamali's mother, Jaritza, came to the club with a craft. She will hold a class for the all the other mothers that want to learn. She makes hair pom poms out of yarn. What is most impressive is what she makes them with. There is a name for this craft, usually done with a wooden spool, if anyone knows the name please let us know. Jaritza doesn't have a proper wooden spool, she makes her hair pom poms from a hair roller with 4 bobby pins stuck to it. She runs the yarn around, and lifts up each corner over the bobby pins with a little crochet hook. The yarn makes a round tube like line of yarn. She then makes the pom poms from wool with cardboard, and ends up with big colorful pom poms that are used for hair ties for the girls. You can see little Estefania as our model.
