Loading... Please wait...Monkey Fist Poi offer the longest burn-time-to-volume ratio of all of our wicks. The monkey fists come attached via zinc plated quicklinks to #15 nickel-plated steel ballchain and single or double loop leather handles.
TheMonkey Fist wick assemblies are made in a unique fashion; one "fist" is made out of a single length of rope that is tied into multiple monkey fist knots (one inside the other). The result is a fully-absorbent wick assembly, unlike those built with wooden cores.
Small and Large K1 fiberglass-core-rope monkey fists are approximately 2.25 and 2.75 inches in diameter, respectively.

I am a very new fire spinner.
After my first burn (with small cathedral poi) my friend and mentor said, "You are going to want monkey fists".
She was right, after my first burn with these, I won't burn with anything else.
The weight is perfect; I feel like I have great control and they are awesome for stalls. I love the stiffer finger loops as I've had to let go of them quickly (unfortunate incident where I knotted them behind my back) which has kept me from getting burned.
When I'm ready to order again (and at the rate I'm burning it will be this summer) I will order these again.
I've probably burned these 80+ times, and they are only now starting to show a few short fibers... They have a lot of life left in them (good thing, because I'm a junky)
I've also found The Spinsterz customer service to be excellent.
