I recently followed a new yoyo manufacturer, Rustic Yoyo Co., on Instagram. Their first yoyo, a wooden unresponsive named the Willow just dropped this weekend. I ordered one and was really looking forward to it since I’ve been wanting a unresponsive wooden yoyo, and my 4-year old daughter is named Willow. I received an email confirmation for my order, but the next day I received another email stating that my purchase had been refunded. I was bummed, so I decided to go to their website to see if there was an explanation, only to find they no longer had a website. I then checked to see if they had posted anything on Instagram, but their account was gone there too! Does anyone know what happened to this company?

Sounds like they got tangled up with the feds.

I found a picture of one of their yoyos. Was it the one that kinda looked like it was made from MDF?

I can’t really do any custom orders for a little while. I have too many things I need to make at the moment. In a few weeks I’ll probably be able to make one (if the OP would like one).
