Ooo nice candy-cane style. I do like these because they have a very distinct look. Even though they’re apparently crazy amounts of manual labor to make… ---

Thanks Mark 😊 @codinghorror thanks, and yes, they are pretty labor intensive. I mean, compared to your standard straight forward string that is. ---

4 to 5 minutes a piece. As opposed to about eight regular strings in 10 minutes ---

Ooh I like that green/yellow one. I made a few of the candy cane style strings like that just because I wanted to try it out. Never made them again after that first time though. They came out good, but just seemed unnecessary. ---

I think they’re just as easy to make, if not easier, because you don’t have to walk back and forth. These green/yellow surge blends use 4 different threads, 1 green nylon, 1 green poly, 1yellow nylon and 1 yellow poly. ![IMG_20190426_152154](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/6/a/f6a3bb5745021493e243dbeb70bd44f018fc1238.jpeg) ---

> [@excesspeople](#): > > because you don’t have to walk back and forth Huh, I might be missing something in my process then - I have to walk back and forth even more for twists. Got any tips? ---

Ideally with the twists you’re only stringing each string half as far. ---

Same here. Literally twice as many times as a normal string. ---
