Quicker Quillies Tool

Some people can whirl and twirl up a quillie with no problem! But some of us need to help our fingers a little if we can’t or we need a couple dozen for an egg or tree or other large project. Neil’s Quicker Quillies tool is perfect!   Slip the end of your wool strip in the opening and simple twirl to load up the quillie! Slide off and add a few stitches or I cover the back in hot glue and press on our glue mat to let cool.  Did you see the bouquet we made for the snowflake goblin girl? It’s branches of twisted greens and bursting with creamy wool flowers! 

Quillie Tip Sheet

Wool Quillies are easy and fun and there are

I like to twirl my quillies and have random sizes, but sometimes I need certain sizes to create garlands or ornaments.

The sizes will vary due to the thickness of the wool and the tension you apply.

To organize my quillies by size so I thread a 5 inch needle and thread all the same size on the thread. I do not sew or glue them, I just thread them all on. Once I have enough of that size I just snip the thread and set them aside. This gives me strings of everything I will need for my project.

It’s simple or pull off one and either stitch it closed and secure or glue the ends and the back and apply where needed.
