Ok so you wrap your strings around two points and with a drill or dremel you spin it after you spin it you fold it in half then you take a fishing swivel put it on the string and there you have it

You’re going to have to have SOME sort of jig. You just will. Nails in a board is one of the easiest jigs a guy could make.

What kind of thread/string are you using.
I typically start with 9ish foot of string and twist somewhere between 12" - 18" … depending on how much tension you want in the string and the thread your working with… you will have to find that sweet spot that you like.
You will make a bunch of strings before you figure it out… get a tape measure out twist several different strings a different amount… then play them and see which one works.

The website that I linked has an excellent and extremely simple string making guide. You will not find a more simple string making setup.
Sometimes things take a little work and thought. Yoyo strings are one of those things.

I would suggest Tribol or spun Polly or Nylon or a mix for the threads you use

Picture hangers and a nail in a board. That’s what I use for now. I just started :). Look on YouTube.
