A new nylon string boutique is in Town.
Pea Soup Strings is now officially open.
At Pea Soup Strings, we craft high-quality nylon yoyo strings using carefully selected brands of wooly nylon. We don’t stop there — we experiment, blend, and refine different nylon combinations to create unique strings with distinct feels and performance characteristics.
Every string is made with attention to detail and a passion for play.
Proudly Canadian, Pea Soup Strings ships worldwide.
Right on! Pea soup… So french Canadian! 
I used to make my own wooly nylon string, then I had kids and I can’t find the time anymore. I’ll have to check them out. Nice to see a new boutique Canadian brand!
You’re right, french canadien to the bone…
thanks
congratulations on starting up and good luck with the sales!
Is there a difference between the colorways materials. Seems like there’s various listed “materials” but it’s hard to determine what each really means or brings to the string,
Otherwise looks awesome
Hi
Thanks for asking.
Right now there are 5 differents strings:
3 different brand Of nylon. Wooly, Silky and Snuggly.
And 2 nylon blend. A mix of 2 different brand on nylon.
Downy nylon is a blend of wooly and Silky.
Fleecy nylon is a blend of Snuggly and Silky.
There are 2 new nylon blend that I am experimenting right now.
Also there is a fourth brand that may be coming soon
Congrats on the opening of your business! I hope it’s a fruitful endeavor. I was meaning to ask- how thick are your strings? These look pretty dang thick on first glance but I don’t have any frame of reference from the pictures you provide. Just curious! Different thicknesses are preferred by different people as everyone knows 
My experience with wooly nylon is it stretches a bunch so it appears thick but it stretches much thinner
Right now, all the strings have 15 thread, which is 7½ wraps. Those might be the regular thickness. And yes, I plan to make thin strings and thick strings. Depend on what people need or want.
Each brand has different thickness, so a regular Snuggly may be thicker than regular Wooly.
And the pictures are magnify by 3.
And Captrogers is totally right, the nylon stretch thinner.
Thanks
Hi fellow throwers,
I wanted to take a moment to explain the difference between Dual Color (single twist) and Pre-Blend (multiple twist) strings.
Dual Color (single twist):
All strands and colors are combined and twisted together at the same time.
Pre-Blend (multiple twist):
Each color is twisted separately first. Then the twisted strands are combined and twisted together again.
Side by side
Pre-Blend strings are usually made with single-source nylon (Wooly, Silky, Snuggly). Making a pre-blend with two different types of nylon is possible, but not ideal. That’s why my “combined nylon” blends (Downy, Fleecy) are always single twist.
Personally, I find Pre-Blend strings look better. (Right now I’m experimenting with 3-color Pre-Blends — and they’re turning out awesome.)
Functionally, Pre-Blend nylon strings tend to be:
• Slightly thinner
• Less stretchy
• Slightly firmer
Let me know which one you prefer.
– Pea Soup
another nylon brand to try? sweeeet!
Heck yeah! I’m glad to see the shop is up!
I have had the privilege of using Pea Soup strings and I have to say they are fantastic strings! They are well made, they are super consistent and they are extremely durable and hold up for a long time! They also fill a gap in the market where some other brands have left out.
All of the blend formulations are great and fit perfect for most play styles.
I highly recommend Pea Soup strings if you like nylon blends! They are well worth it, you won’t be disappointed!
Thanks a lot for the kind words, I really appreciate it!
It means a lot coming from someone who actually spent time testing the strings.
I’m really glad they worked well for you.
Hey there! Thank you for the wonderful strings! They are actually some of the softest feeling string I’ve ever used.
Silky - Super soft and fuzzy. Feels great on skin, glides well. Great for casual play. Plays great slower, but lacks some weight for fast whips.
Downy - Glides on the skin with even less friction than the Silky. Heavier, so it whips better than Silky.
Fleecy - Feels more silky than silky. Falls in between for skin feel and whips compared to Silky and Downy.
Edit: The more I play with and stretch the silky, the better I’m whipping with it. They’re all pretty close but I think I like the Downy the best still.
Please take my descriptions with a grain of salt, but I do think both downy and fleecy are superior to silky, so I’m glad you included them in my order! =]
Thank you so much for the detailed feedback, I really appreciate it!
I’m honestly very happy to read your impressions. It means a lot since you’re the first person to receive these strings.
I’m especially glad you enjoyed the Downy and Fleecy strings. I’m really happy I decided to include them in your order!
And don’t worry at all about the “grain of salt” part — your impressions are exactly the kind of feedback that helps me understand how the strings feel for different players.
Thanks again for taking the time to write this, it really means a lot to me as a small string maker.
Ohh no I knew this sounded familiar did you send me string and I forget about it entirely? I vaguely remember having a to do item last year to review some string and then life got in the way and I don’t even know where the string is… if so I remember thinking it reminded me of A&A string… I have a cart I want to pull the trigger on cause this looks right up my alley
And I realize I’m publicly calling myself out lol I think I’ve proven time and time again time management is not my strong point…
Haha no worries at all, life happens!
Yes, I did send you some strings a while back, so you’re not imagining things 
I’m actually really happy to hear you remember them reminding you of A&A strings, that’s a huge compliment.
And please don’t feel bad about the review — I completely understand how things pile up. Just knowing you remember them positively already means a lot.
If you do end up placing an order, I’ll make sure to include a couple extras for you to try.
Just had to come back here to say that lately I have been preferring your nylon Blends over Zs air!
Zsair does have easier whips, but it’s thicker. It probably has better whips because it’s thicker. I think thinner string binds smoother and snags less. I’m practing tricks with several wraps right now and hitting the limit with zsair being too thick.
I really like how your nylon Blends bind. I’ve totally mixed up the Downy and Wooly at this point, but I like them both! Even silky is nice after some play and stretching.
I’m very eager for the silk blend to arrive!
Quality is over the top, truly!
Thank you.
I really appreciate you coming back to share this.
I like trying different “recipes” in the Pea Soup Kitchen, especially with thickness and tension.
Funny you mention mixing up Downy and Wooly, that happens even for me sometimes when testing
There’s more coming soon.
Chef Lynx has been busy in the kitchen.
