Fabric Yo-Yos

Doc writes - "This man has done some amazing yo-yo projects in the past, including molding a leather yo-yo, and making yo-yos out of old yo-yo string, but in the linked project he took scraps of fabric and molded them into yo-yos. Damn, I'd love to have an argyle yo-yo." - Link.

I forgot to mention those yo-yos are availlable through his ebay store.

Actually, Doc has it wrong. While this person does some incredible looking yoyo's, this is the person who made the leather yoyo and yoyo's from old string ( http://www.geocities.jp/skon_world/yoyo/index.html ). He's even done a carbon fiber / titanium yoyo. Whoooo!

Yeah my bad, I meant to type that yo-yos have been made in these ways, but I messed it up and gave this guy credit. Thanks for the link Rob.
