Wrap yarn around fingers
till it looks 'fat enough'. Then remove it wrap 2 strands of yarn
in the middle, tie tightly in a double knot. Now snip thru the loops,

usually is a bit ragged at this point, so hold it over the garbage and
snip till it is fluffy and even :-) To make it even more fluffy,
separate the individual strands in the yarn.
