Starting out barely being able to do a few loops with your dominant hand at MOYO to this. Very impressive.<br /><br />As for my 2a strings, I just take one I'm using now (usually Apetrunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09162519517628926993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2426957667389511818.post-62134576003409438972010-06-24T18:30:53.648-07:002010-06-24T18:30:53.648-07:00Honestly, I haven't been using thread to make ...Honestly, I haven't been using thread to make my looping string. I got desperate so I tried using yarn. I split the length of yarn in half (two strands instead of four) then I twist that, double it over, and twist it back on itself. I originally hoped to use the string for 1a. Unfortunately, it plays really slowly and whips terribly. It loops nicely as far as I can tell which is what counts mrcnjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05033903482590920039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2426957667389511818.post-10746276867212939392010-06-24T14:19:44.389-07:002010-06-24T14:19:44.389-07:00I've been using some cotton 9's with great...I've been using some cotton 9's with great success lately. What kind of thread are you using to make your string?<br /><br />I'm pretty lazy too, I hate changing string. I always cut down my string (especially for looping) so there's that extra step. I love how nice looping feels with fresh string though; almost feels like it loops by itself, haha.<br /><br />Just thought I'd jonriskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12289831648117978933noreply@blogger.com
