OK, y’all. Last chance to snag the 2024 YYBC Commemorative Glass! I’m taking it down at the end of the week. I currently don’t have a design or timeline for the 2025 glass.

Also, I may or may not be working on a Boomer-color Nectar string for FAF.

Any other ideas for FAF25 Logos or Theme Team?
Do we want to play on the Butterfly Logo from Last year?
I am digging the Autobot Design.
I’m leaning more toward the Gundam-themed one, myself. It incorporates the unicorn theme well (since there is a Unicorn Gundam…or several.) I feel like the Butterfly was a good intro last year, but love the nod to Spinworthy and all they’ve done for us with the unicorn.
Also, I’ll know by EOD Friday if I can manage Butteefly Cap stickers in-house and on demand. I’m waiting on some materials, and access to the the Cricut at work.
Those pins look especially sweet!
If @Pun1sh3R signs off, I’ll release these into the shop for this year’s offerings. I’ll have pics of the string soon. Gonna run some color tests at lunch.

Currently the leader in my testing. Technically an Emulsion string.
50% Cotton
25% Trilobal Poly
25% Wooly Nylon
Much looser wind than other Throw-Yo strings.

I am really liking the idea and look of this string. Have you given it a whirl on your favorite fixie?
I spent around 15 min with it just now attached to the above-pictured Pixie. So far so good!

I really like the idea of 50% cotton. I always preferred 50/50 to 100% and having a 25/25 split of poly and nylon sounds very intriguing.

I liked how after the yo-yo dropped out of the Stopwatch you were able to get it to return easily despite its low spin speed. Nice!!

How is the response on fixies? Snaggy, Slippy, Just right? (Goldilocks String for FAF?)
Not opposed, but confused. what is the context?
It’s a bit between snaggy and “just right”. I need to test it on my Cardigan and a Butterfly.
The Proofs Mr. Rob aka Mr. Baron Radness von Throwington Esquire aka rkalajian posted.
May break in wonderfully then!
I may change the Gundam head a bit. I will post more mockups later!
