About us

Your strings, your choice.

Pea Soup Strings is an online shop dedicated to high-quality wooly nylon yoyo strings. Each string is handcrafted with precision, using premium-grade nylon materials and specialized construction techniques. 

We use several carefully selected wooly nylon brands to make our strings. We go further by blending them together to create all-new and all-different nylon strings. Like paper & pencil, fries & burger, voices & musics or even Batman & Robin, they are great on their own but together they becomes something more, something different.

As you can probably tell, I am a Pea Soup (french canadian). Early 1900, the word "Pea Soup" was a slur used by english speakers to refer to french canadians.

My yoyo odyssey began in 1985, at the age of 10. After a visit to my classroom by a "yoyo man", a yoyo club was formed at school. The experience only lasted two months... but I never stopped dreaming of being able to do what I had seen that day.

It wasn't until twenty years later, in 2005, that I bought my first wooden yoyo. Most of the time, it stayed in a drawer. Then, in 2009, in a card game shop, I discovered my first butterfly yoyo: a white Duncan Freehand Zero (FH0). That's when the magic truly happened...

In 2019, I bought my first nylon strings, Airetic. I was blown away - the softness and quality completely amazed me. In that moment, I knew I was born for nylon. So imagine my reaction when Airetic stopped producing their strings...

I then began making my own nylon strings. That's how the search for the perfect nylon thread began. I experimented with several types of "wooly" nylon, all different, yet surprisingly similar. Through this process, I discovered that each brand had its own strengths and weaknesses. But when combined, they open the door to an entirely different world.
