Decorative tuft is a term used to describe a decorative element made of fabric, yarn, or other material. It is usually attached to clothing, furniture, or other items to add a decorative touch. Two common types of decorative tufts are tassels and pompoms. Tassels are made of a looped cord or string with several strands hanging down from the loop. Pompoms are small, round balls of yarn or other material that are often used to decorate hats, scarves, and other items.
