DECEMBER NEWS (so far):
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

NEED STOCKING STUFFER IDEAS??? I mean strings are always a given, but if you need more ideas that will surprise your fellow throwers, search for the tab "Stocking Stuffer Ideas" for some helpful hints!  

Peep the bullet points below regarding all the shenanigans that are going live on Dec 6th >>>

  • The Nice List string is back!!! Every order from December 6th and through the end of the month will include 1 free Nice List string (red & white candy cane pattern.) We actually get lots of email requests for these, and some people even get a little salty at us because we're unable to produce enough to sell. To give you an idea of the level of difficulty, these literally take an entire production day just to make 100 strings - no kidding! So please just think of this string as our way of saying thank you for choosing ZipLine in 2024, and have yourself a festive throw sesh :)

  • String Thing Tree Ornaments are back!!!

  • Xmas String Kits are back, but now in our new Polyesque formula (includes 3 different strings, xmas ornament, and sticker!)

  • Portland Bee Balm (single sticks) ::: fully restocked! (this is our favorite bee balm yet - both for cotton/fixie setups and for lips!!!)

  • ZipStands (yoyo stand) ::: fully restocked

  • All standard string blends ::: fully restocked

++++ NEW - JUST IN!!! ++++

  • ZipLine Beanies ::: (2 styles: grey w/woven patch and black w/leather patch)

  • LoopStick v2 ::: an anti-slip string rosin for adding tackiness to slippy string loops

  • Choice Bearing "U" ::: (premium quality U style, size C bearing)

  • Choice Bearing "Groove" ::: (premium quality V-groove style, size C bearing)

****************************
Back in June we announced a list of string blends that have been put on a production hiatus, due to a thread crisis. There are plenty of these strings still available, as we had produced nearly tripple the normal stock in anticipation of discontinuations. To see what blends are being affected by this thread crisis, please CLICK HERE to read the official announcement letter.

NEWS HISTORY ARCHIVE:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

  • Moth Ballz (ball bearing counterweight) release ::: This is a collaboration with our friends Pyrotechnic's Burnt Love. They've done a sweet modification to some soccer ball fidget spinners - tranforming them into a super rad 5a counterweight. And we've bundled them with some extras that supercharge these Moth Ballz into a highly customizable fun factory :) Please find them HERE. - 11/01/24

  • Prestige v2 ::: Protoypes will be available tonight! As you might already know, Prestige was one of our most popular signature blends that went on a production hiatus since June, but we’ve been auditioning a good amount of new materials and prototyping like crazy since then. The latest version of Prestige is finally ready for you to check out! We’re super proud of this recreation and hope you enjoy it. Please let us know if you end up picking some up and want to share any comparison feedback. - 10/04/24


  • Polyesque - FULL Release (all colors) ::: The official/final version of Case Study, No.122 (aka CS122), which is a hybrid 70/30 blend of premium ZipLine polyester enhanced with Airetic nylon material. Last month we prereleased these in only 2 colors (HyperTone Yellow and White), but today you'll find 3 additional colors. You can find the entire lineup <HERE> - 09/06/24

  • Polyesque - Prerelease ::: The official/final version of Case Study, No.122 (aka CS122), which is a hybrid 70/30 blend of premium ZipLine polyester enhanced with Airetic nylon material. The Polyesque blend is great for lovers of polyester strings but want to treat themselves to something a bit more special - something that doesn’t feel factory made and is handled with great care and complex precision. Find there <HERE> - 08/02/24

  • ZS.AIR Official Release!!! ::: Formerly known under the prototype name, CS121, these are an Airetic Strings inspired, 100% plush nylon blend. ZS.AIR can easily be characterized as being super smooth, bouncy, incredibly whippy and extremely long lasting. We've been working on these since summer of 2023 and they're finally available tonight!!! Find them <HERE> - July 2024

  • Case Study CS121 & CS122 (HyperTone Orange) debut ::: CS121 is an Airetic Strings inspired, 100% pure nylon blend. CS122 is a polyester/nylon hybrid. For the first time, both of these experimental blends will be available in a highly saturated, custom fluorescent orange. - Jun. 2024

  • Today we regretfully announced information regarding a thread crisis that we’ve been experiencing for nearly two years. We’ve been desperately rationing a couple of our choice threads (used for various signature blends) and trying to resolve this issue before it would cause any drastic changes to occur, but we are now at a crossroads. If you’re interested to hear the specifics and see what blends are being affected by this thread crisis, please <click here> to read the official announcement letter. - Jun. 2024

We’ve been wrestling with a thread stock supply issue for materials used in the Dunk Lace formula, in addition to several other blends in our lineup.  Until we find a solution, we’ll be trying to preserve what’s left of these materials until we’re absolutely certain we can resume production. Catch them while you can!!! - 09/01/23

  • DUNE STRING - (from the CLYW "Artist Series" Dune release) :::  Utilizing the leftover material from that custom string project, we were able to produce a small run of about 35 boutique string packs for each of the original color pallets. These use the exact same formula of strings that came with the latest "Artist Edition" Dune release, which are a 60/40 poly/nylon blend, featuring our boutique 2-stage twist method (in the same realm as our CS50 string). If you've enjoyed our Case Study 50 strings, these won't disappoint you. And if you’ve purchased one of the recent Dunes, this is the exact replacement string you’ve been looking for ;) - 09/01/23

  • Dunk Lace ::: (a string collaboration with Jake Bullock.) A couple months ago, Jake reached out to us about creating a custom string to go along with his release of the Ti Dunk, and since we're such a huge fans of the entire Dunk yoyo series, we were super excited to collaborate. After an overwhelming response regarding how and where to get string replacements, we thought it might be fun to do a limited release. 02/03/23

  • Throw Key restock, which is an all-in-one yoyo multi-tool, and our first collaboration with ZGRT. These seem to sell out pretty fast, so please don't sleep on this if you've been patiently waiting for one. 02/03/23

Additionally, there are a couple of new AlphaLine options available, including a 50pk sampler and new Whiteout colorway!
