OK, I have been making string for a month or so and I have found a string that seems to be working. The only problem is that when I’m done making the string its a little fuzzy, almost like I was throwing w/ it for 5 - 10 minutes. I have gotten some that come out nice and the fuzzy ones work still, I just want to make sure I’m not doing something wrong. I am also using 100% poly Toldi-Lock by Gutermann, should I use something else? ---

> [@shmoe93](#): > > it might just be the thread or your twisting it to tight? I was thinking it might be too tight but I spun some w/ less tension and it was the same so it is prob just the thread. It doesn’t change play so I guess its really no big deal. ---

after you have finished wrapping your string 7 times tie it up so thhat when you finish it does not loosen up. i know from experience. ---

Is it fuzzy or more bumpy? If it’s fuzzy, it probably is your thread. If it’s bumpy, you tightened it too much and gave it too much slack. ---

I have over spun the string in the past, getting bumps, but this time its just fuzz. I’ll have to find another thread, but I’ll use this one up first.
