TOO thiCC of a string

[EthanV (Ethan Ryan L. Valondo)]

So i have just made my first string, and its too thicc and has loose tension.
I need help, but before that, show off the thicc strings you have made, if you have.

im gonna use this as a yoyo holder or something lol

Stringmaking & yoyos: A deep well of a hobby

I was inspired by @Nicksaboo to make some thick strings that would make normal fat strings seem quite slim by comparison. The thread counts are, from outside in: (triple fat) n.72, n.64, n.48, n.24 (fat) I attempt to play with the 72 count string.

Here. It was too thick by far, the size of three fat strings combined

String? That right there is some rope

Boi that’s “Pokimane thicc”!

Never say that again…

[Nicholas_H]

Lol all right.

[MarkD (Mk1 Yoyos)]

by the way, I’ve definitely noticed that one of the biggest problems with super thick strings is that the string/rope ends up shortening super fast without the twist really seeming tight at all. I think this is why real ropes normally use 3 cords (or more) instead of 2. Not entirely sure though.

It’s like tying two strings to one yoyo

I did one of these to test as a prusik for climbing but its actually playable on my GTX. It was entertaining but slows the play down way too much.

[MarkD (Mk1 Yoyos)]

Haha wow, that’s a fat one

Made a few more recently- i found the thread counts that i need for good thickness.
