I don’t add to it often. I’m too lazy, so I mostly throw away my string. But here it is for what it’s worth.

It might just be string wrapped up as the base so the whole ball is made of string.

FOILED BY ED!

My ball of used string is a bit larger than the cone it came from.

To yoyoaddict96: The base is just a single string wound up tightly.
