the blasted little things.

I do use them in some projects, but at the rate I am making
them which can be from 5-50+ per day and in several sizes/
shapes it is becoming quite clear that I may never get around
to using the majority of them.

Now for the real question I wanted to ask.

Do you think there is a "market" for pre-made yo-yo's in a variety
of colors/prints?

I DON'T plan to stop making them because I find that it is relaxing
for me to make while laying in bed watching tv, waiting for Dr. appt.
during my lunch break at work (when I remember to take one) etc...

Thanks in advance for any replies.
Have you considered grouping them in some order? I saw a beautiful red/white/green Christmas vest a couple years ago. Maybe a bunch of pinks, maybe a bunch of kiddy prints. Determine how many you might need for vest fronts, and put that much in a pile.
