After seeing your posts and looking up begleri, I decided to try it. It’s fun to learn, but definitely a skill you have to develop. The tricks look easy until you actually attempt them. I do enjoy just wrapping it around my fingers while I’m sitting around at work though. Thanks!

Ayyyy, welcome to the club!

Yes it’s definitely got a steep learning curve! But once you’ve gotten the feel for it, a lot of the other tricks are a much easier to learn - even if they’re more technical

Any suggestions on where to get begleris. Any begleri groups on here?

Anything by Aroundsquare will do you very well, they can be pricy though, but they are definitely premium in quality. I love the Commons, Sigmas, and the Mini Hydras

TGP also makes great sets

MonkeyFinger also have some interesting bead designs

There’s also a bunch of fairly cheap alternatives online, and they’re usually not too bad. Amazon or Etsy will give you loads of options.

And you can always make a set from hex nuts and paracord too!

No dedicated community here yet, alas. But I am working on getting !idlehands@sopuli.xyz going. Not specific for begleri, but for skill toys and fidgets. Didn’t want to get too niche too quickly, without enough of a user base to support it

Found a sub that's been created but completely empty. Thought I'd start it up by making a post.

Did some research and also found this neat website

Yeah they’re super useful! But don’t be afraid to find a different tutorial. The ones they have are great, but the embedded video controls make it tough to scroll back a few seconds - plus other videos may explain it differently which winds up clicking better for you!

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !begleri@lemm.ee
