I already know how to make yo-yo string, but I would like to know any other ways to do it so that I can make various strings at once. Also a list of thread types along with their average cost and durability. Also how many loops will it take to make a reasonably thick string made of the materials you mention.
Apart from this, I was going to buy some polyester to make string and there were different types of polyester like trilobal polyester and spun polyester; I ended up buying spun polyester because it was cheaper, and it is horrible, it doesn’t last long enough, breaks very easily, and it’s very thin. I thought every type of polyester was good.-By this I mean how many loops to make a reasonably thick spun polyester string and why this happens with this type of thread. Help me! 😢
Thanks! ;D

You should post it more often, and you only made it a week ago.

That’s not a long time, it takes a while for everyone to see it.
