Simple Sock Poi

Very simple sock Poi. As the name implies all you need is some socks. This is a great way to get into Poi spinning, especially if you have some socks with funky patterns on them

To make you will require :

A pair of long socks or stockings
Another pair of socks of any size

1. Do not throw out old socks or stockings just because they have some holes in them. Make some practice poi instead.

2. Roll each smaller sock into a ball shape. If you want you may add extra weight to the inside of these socks like seeds or rice etc..

3. Push the sock ball down into the toe of the long sock.

4. If you want something heavier you could use a tennis ball instead.

5. Repeat process for the other sock.

6. Pull and stretch out the top end of the sock and tie a knot. This makes a knob that you can swing the sock poi from.

You can also sew ribbons onto the ball end of the sock for extra decoration and visual effect once being spun.

Be aware that if you hit yourself you may want it to be soft and light enough not to bruise.

The heavier you make it the slower you can spin and the less likely the Poi will be effected by any wind.

Happy spinning
