I’m based in Canada and I’ve recently gotten back into the hobby. Most of my throws are pretty old now, and I’m looking for something new, and would like to support a Canadian company. What are some Canadian manufacturers that I could support? The list of companies I’m currently aware of is below, and will be updated / corrected as more suggestions come in: - [MonkeyFinger Design](https://mfdyoyo.com/) - [Zero Gravity Return Tops](https://zgrt.ca/) - [Layer Infinity](https://www.layerinfinity.com/) - [Luftverk](https://luftverk.com/) - [A-rt](https://a-rt.ca/) - [True Arc Return Tops](https://truearcreturntops.ca/) - [44emporium](https://www.44emporium.com/) - [CLYW](https://cariboulodge.store/) (Possibly no longer Canadian?) - [Lathed Back Design](https://www.instagram.com/lathedbackdesign/) (Possibly inactive?) ---

> [@Slicemage](#): > > (Possibly no longer Canadian?) CLYW is based in the USA at this point. Also you should probably have separate lists for Canadian ‘brands’ and Canadian ‘manufacturers’, since they’re different types of operations. Manufacturers may work for multiple brands, and a brand may use multiple different manufacturers. ---

CLYW is still a Canadian brand. Steve has been taking the creative reins on it lately, and yes he is based in the US, but Chris is still the owner and still oversees the brand, and he is still in Edmonton last I heard. ---

Just a little inside scoop for us Canadians. Bear & Fox Armoury is currently a low-key brand for my art projects and bespoke skill toy accessories. But I have plans to launch it into bigger endeavor next year along with a project that is currently in the prototyping phase that I am super excited about. I’ve been sharing progress of that on the Fixed Axle Collective Discord so far, but will bring in more details to YYE once my protos come in and I have something substantial to share. 😎 I also have plans to offer more [3-pack cases](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/sold-out-the-3-pack-a-yoyo-case-by-bear-fox-armoury/402491) and other accessories as I can carve out more free time.
