Known as Yo-Yos in the United States and Suffolk Puffs in England, these gathered fabric circles have been a favorite of makers for generations. Originally created from fabric scraps, they remain a timeless way to add dimension, texture, flowers, and playful embellishments to quilts, embroidery, and more. With the right tools, creating perfect Yo-Yos has never been easier.
