Step 1: wrap the yarn around the fork
Free one end of the ball of yarn and wrap it around the fork at least 20 times. That is the minimum for such a beautiful end result. It’s pretty important that the yarn be wrapped around the center of the fork. Both ends of this should remain free. For really big pompoms, you could wrap around 50 times.

After you have wound enough, cut the yarn off the ball and hold it in place. Now take another thread a few inches long. Run this under the fork and tie the wrapped yarn exactly as shown in the first two pictures. Make a really tight knot. Take the whole thing out of the fork and form a small ball.
