I use either a plastic flosser or a toothpick to pick out the knots. Or I just unscrew it if it’s a yoyo I don’t care too much about.

This zip tie.
Just get into the knot and pull. No damage to your throw as it is made of wonder plastic.

Usually just switch to another yoyo, then when they all have knots, take them all out with a paper clip.

It’s a series of steps
1. Notice knot
2. try and understand how I got the knot
3. Chastise myself with 45 whippings
4. I SKIPPED 4 LOL
5. Undo the knot
6. if knot comes back again I usually decide it’s time to just not play with yoyos ever again
7. Eternal love, shrek is love, shrek is life

Depending on the brand, some yoyos get vibe after being unscrewed and some people don’t unscrew the yoyo because they are afraid of stripping the axle.

Generally ,unless its plastic, it should e fine to unscrew. Don’t unscrew all the time if you don’t have to, but it’s not goof to ruin a yoyo. Especially a YYF

Bamboo kebab skewer! cheap enough to not care if you loose it, strong enough so you can pick those stubborn knots, long enough to be comfy in all hand sizes, and sharp enough to pick all knots, but dull enough to not have to worry about scuffing the ammo! Perfect!
