My granny's wondering why I'm making so many fuzz balls :) She'll get her surprise soon! It'll make her so happy!!! Oh my goodness I’m so addicted to making these!

Forgot to say after cutting, tie the center with a piece of yarn before removing cardboard.

The type of brush with the thick mat of tiny, slightly bent wire teeth, you can usually find a small one in the pet section of the grocery store. It will fray the ends of the yarn more and make it more of a fuzz ball than a ball of yarn. Some crocheters use the same technique to brush out finished pieces to look like fury animals!
