Today I got a new Nectar and a new Vapor in the shop.
Pictured above, Alchemilla Nectars are white and neon green, giving them a beautiful, spring-like color!
Gentian Violet is another color from when Throw-Yo was young and I had just started making strings. Initially available as a Potions, then a Solvent, Gentian Violet is now available as a Vapor! These strings are made up of purple polyester and a mix of purple and black nylon.
That’s right! Team Throw-Yo member, Andy, now has their merch up in the shop!
I’ve added international shipping for strings and butterfly cap stickers to the shop. Butterfly Cap Stickers will ship First-Class envelope for $1.50 without tracking. Strings are shipped First-Class Package International Service for a flat rate of $25.
Throw-Yo would like to warmly welcome Seth, our first string-sponsored player! Seth is an amazing voice in our community, and creates excellent content that always feels warm and welcoming to players of all levels.
Seth first picked up a yoyo in 1998 at the age of 11 and was hooked until 2000, when he lost his yoyo during a move. It wasn’t until 20 years later, in March of 2020, that he rediscovered the hobby, jumping right back in with a good ol’ Fireball. From there, he quickly realized just how much the world of yoyo had evolved, and it’s been off to the races ever since. While Seth enjoys watching every style of yoyoing, he connects most with unresponsive 1A and 0A fixie/responsive play.
Originally from a small town in Missouri (or “Misery,” as he lovingly calls it), yoyoing has become more than just a hobby for Seth—it’s about the community. He loves everything about the scene and wants to do his part to help it grow. One of his favorite things is giving yoyos away and getting as many people into the hobby as possible. If someone wants to learn, he’s always happy to teach them everything they want to know (as far as his skill level allows).
Outside of yoyoing, Seth loves being a dad to his incredible daughter and son and spending time with the love of his life—their mom. When he’s not throwing, you’ll probably find him wood carving, practicing bushcraft, playing music, skateboarding, or just doing his best to spread the love.

Throw-Yo is proud to introduce a product line based on the artwork and stylings of Team Throw-Yo member Nic Conrick! From the abomination that is the Cowclops to the signature logo of the Hydr0A style of yo-yo play, Nic’s official merchandise is now in the shop. There’s tees, stickers, and even a terry bucket hat!
Team Throw-Yo has a new member! I’d like to welcome Andy! (@AudreySickburn)
Andy is a full time software development engineer and part time mad yoyo scientist. One of Andy’s favorite things is creating yoyos that look like they shouldn’t work at all yet somehow play well. A fan of fixed axle 0a and classic small bearing throws, Andy strives to live the life of a Frankensteinesque monster concocted from the best parts of Tom Kuhn, Audrey Hepburn, and various other pop culture fixations. When not 3d printing yoyos, spending time with their wife and two kids, or working, you can find Andy staring at household objects wondering if they can be turned into yoyos.
You can find the above info, as well as Andy’s link, on the Team Throw-Yo page.
If you haven’t had a chance to try Throw-Yo strings, now is the perfect time to hop in! Two String Sample sets are now available in the shop: a Performance String Sampler and a Comfort String Sampler.
Each Sampler contains 3 strings for $6. The pack breakdowns are as follows:
Performance String Sampler:
Comfort String Sampler:
If you’re looking for the fastest, longest-lasting string, the Performance String Sampler will give you a good grasp of Throw-Yo’s highest-end offerings. If you’re looking for a soft string with a more laid-back style of play, the Comfort String Sampler is for you.
New color strings are in stock! Today I’ve added a single new color to Teas and Vapors, and two new color Serums!
Heartstring Teas are a tri-color string with red, pink, and purple. They are perfect for the season of love, or any other time of the year! Just don’t tug on the ‘ol heartstrings TOO hard.
Pink Bismuth was an early color in Throw-Yo’s history, originally offered as a Potion. Now it returns as a Vapor, ready to envelop your finger in comforting warmth.
* Will not help your nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea
One of my most popular colors, PRL, and an Ink from the Cycle Series, Midnight, are now available as Serums! Despite their short time on the market, Serums are proving to be the most popular blend Throw-Yo has to offer. Now you can get these classic colors as either an Ink or Serum!
