Yo-yo tricks constantly evolve and so does the string that you use to learn them. Kitty String is a fantastic yo-yo string brand from the Philippines creating beautiful string from high quality materials. They offer a wide array of different string types in vibrant colors and this is their all new XL string!
Kitty String XL (Extra Large) is a fatter string with a slightly heavier weight. It is made from a very soft polyester that gives you a smoother feel during play and doesn’t rough up your hands as much as some other brands. The XL type is perfect for beginners looking for tighter binds or experts looking for the perfect string for whips and slacks!
Professionals around the world are beginning to choose Kitty String as their weapon of choice in competition – and for good reason – as far as yo-yo string goes it doesn’t get much better than this!
Excuse my ignorance, why would it have to be an even number? It’s a single string, made up of smaller threads, that is then twisted to make the loop at the bottom.
Even though the finished string looks like two different strings twisted together, it’s a single piece that loops around on itself at the bottom.
Because the beginning and end of strand have to meet at the same point, you cant just stop halfway and tie a knot on the opposite side that the anchor is on.
Yoyo string appears to be two strings twisted together. It’s actually a single string, twisted back on itself to make the loop at the bottom. So are you saying the 12 threads counts both sides of the string? So there’s actually only 6 strands throughout? That’s what I’m asking. I can’t see why you couldn’t twist a 13-strand string back on itself and make a perfectly awesome yoyo string.
(Describing yoyo string is hard without pictures.)
K… According to Miggy, Normal Kitty is 11x2 technically since 11 thin threads are twisted together then folded unto itself to form 11x2 Normal Kitty String, Miggy also says Fat Kitty is 12x1 (12x2 technically), so I can deduce that slim is 10x2, XL is 13x2, and XXL is 14x2…
Yes, that’s exactly what I thought. I think modman10 was confused, thought it was 6 folded over to make 12. But odd numbers are fine, fold them over to make even numbers. =)
No. Normal kitty has 11 threads to make a strand, and then that strand is folded back on itself and twisted to make the two-stranded yoyo string that we’re all familiar with. so it would end up with a total of 22 threads thick when you look at the completed string.
