Lol. You have a normal rig but you put like 4 hooks in a diagonal pattern leading to the middle and then start at your base point above the half and repeat.

yep, the main reason i dont do fades is 1) very labor intensive and time consuming
2) different dyes have different thicknesses/playabiity

Its gonna be much easier to make a fade with a proper set up. There’s a number of points of contact needed plus if it’s labeled it will help keep your sequences in order.
As far as learning it, I learned a lot from reading but the true knowledge came from hands on.

Never thought I’d ever attempt making yoyo string, but seeing all of you posting your creations got me thinking about it. Tonight I had some extra time so I finally gave it a try. Used some old 100% poly thread I found stashed away and followed the “no rig” video on Airetic’s site. Took me awhile but I’m happy with the results.

Yeah, I cut the tails of the loops off so they don’t get caught up in the string when I reduce it. This way, I save as much of the string as possible. Static electricity made the bits stick to my socks

also in the kick for making string today 
these stings are X Game mode!! I call them cheater strings because EVERYTHING is amazing whips,slacks,tight binds,no burning, super soft but not slick and bouncy( but not to much) and last me a month+ nylon/poly mix alot brighter then pic shows. What materials are you workin with today @Mystik?
