To get a real candy cane stripe, it’s a decent amount more work than just normal string so I’d probably have to charge a little extra. But yeah I wouldn’t be opposed to making them if somebody wanted it. I don’t know if there are any sellers who already offer twists for sale but it’s not something I’d probably add to my shop to make regularly lol ---

Zipline’s Signature+ in the Bushido Baby color also springs to mind–not necessarily a candy-cane stripe but it’s got that red/white action ---

I could make a facsimile of that. Mine wouldn’t have as much stretch as a full nylon but i oculd get the color scheme going relatively easy i think If not there’s a guy on facebook that might be able to copy that color style and feel that just opened up his own string co ---

That image came up in a Google search. 🤷‍♂️ Somebody here posted a photo once of a green & red yoyo (might have been a Christmas Sharks’ Honor) with a custom-made candy cane striped string. Too bad they don’t appear to be around to tell us where they got that string. ---

Here a candy cane string for one of my 5A setups I made. (Sorry a bit old and nasty already) It is very easy as long you do not need to make batches of them. I guess that is also why no boutique string manufacture makes twisted string. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/a/1/aa1455d92436343b1f5a3d656590dd6d42a94b1c.jpeg) ---

Candy cane twist are fun. A bit more work for sure. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/b/d/5bd0fd52ffc974ac219cbc49d6fa7c1f37f4086a.jpeg) Some old ones on the bottom row. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/7/5/075e999d536982985143c44dba1ba9ba613f3327.jpeg) Edit: Here’s a couple I strung up today to remember how lol. They’re 8 strand which are a bit too thin with current gaps imho. Also trying to make a good match for the Uppercut. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/6/c/e6cae586a132a8eef06d50ddad6354cf2364840b.jpeg) **Edit 2: Another thing with twist - after you spin down (I use a fishing swivel) untwist slightly and put a piece of a toothpick or similar in the loops from each thread so you can get them on a bearing easier later!** ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/7/a/37a55a6ce1539a2e3ddb0abab16ce8e127053329.jpeg) ---
