String Makers Discussion

I was thinking more like 1-2 of each “format/type” we make, with certain colours or designs for each of us…to easily identify in users hands.

This idea is not to trade with each other but sell to users via YYX.

The Boutique Bundle.

I’d buy one. :wink:

I would love to participate with my favorite string blend, the Marvin

I too would buy!

I suggest a different color combo per contributor, though. easier to ID who spun what.

Doh, I see you already suggested this.
:confused:

An excellent name idea. *YOINK! :wink:

/p

I used nylon for the first time I liked it but I think the stuff I’m using is too thick it’s coats extra strong nylon that’s all the place had so I picked it up. Does anybody have suggestions to what I could use

Mix different weights.
Don’t use all the SAME type/weight thread in each string.

Also, try using less runs per string, make it thinner.

/p

I did and found a nice mix true but the nylon still seems to over power it and the binds with it are net as tight at my polyesters ,cottons or my mixes

re: Boutique Bundle

I have chatted with Andre and he is keen to move forward on this project.

I am willing to handle the “string-sided” logistics on this…SO LET’S GET STARTED!

Please email me at: paul {at} yoyoGstring {dot} com with the subject “Boutique Bundle” if you wish to be involved.

Please include:

  • Your real name
  • A valid email
  • How many different formats/types you make/wish to include.
  • Your desired pricing for each individual string.
    (We need final costs to figure out wholesale pricing to give Andre. Don’t expect to make ANY profit on this project folks. This is to give the community an easier choice while broadening your current audience. Both are huge benefits.)

THAT SHOULD GET US STARTED! :slight_smile:

Note: I would like to create at least 50 bundles for this project (I would PREFER to make 100). Please be sure you can twist up (in a timely manner) at least 50-100 of EACH of your designs/formats for this project. The final bundle size/price will depend on many variables.

I look forward to your emails as we get this started.

Sweet! I am soo down for this!

The Boutique Bundle sounds like an excellent idea. To help keep the final cost low, I will donate 50 – 100 each of Type X and AMMO.

So, Paul, do I understand correctly – we all send a large bundle of strings up to Canada and you will combine individual or pairs of strings from each maker into an assorted bundle? And the purchaser will receive a slip of paper or something like that with a key to tell which types the strings are by color?

Will we have a drawing for color options, or should I put in a claim for Neon Yellow and Lemon Lime now? ;D

Email me and we will figure out the deets off the forum. :slight_smile:

/p

yes it’s pretty good actually! I was so surprised :slight_smile: also I made a crazy string like an hour ago for my Pre-Pro Majesty it is a Polly Rayon Nylon blend it also plays very well the colors on it are so cool. I made it with Neon Yellow Light blue Purple and Pink it looks so cool ;D

Has anybody ever tied only one strand of something onto Each one of their nails I tried doing a one strand on nylon to two passes of poly and it turned out awesome now we can do weird percentages of string 10 percent rayon to like 90% poly it’s cool and there are so many possibilities. I’ll have pics and mixtures up on Saturday when I spin some with my right hand man (well woman but whatever).

I made a string last night that was 43% Rayon 28% Slick Polly 28% nylon don’t ask what the other 1 percent is…

Awesome sauce so it’s not a new thing

Wow Matt(YYSL Matt) I just made my own string in the same colors as butane flame. Didn’t even think the threads through and it is absolutely the best string I’ve ever played… I think those colors are magical…

Shhh! Don’t give all of my secrets away! ;D

I’ll try not too :wink:

I love Kevlar !!
