*Note: As of late 2017 all podpoi come standard with knob handles, instead of floops with swivels.

*Note: As of end 2019, all flowtoys poi come standard with smithy cord, instead of flowcord.


We offer several types of knobs handle options, and you can find them on our site here: https://flowtoys.com/parts/poi-handles--parts


To install knob handle directly onto 6mm cord:


1. Loop the string and thread it through the knob. Thread cord through the loop. Use the string to pull the cord through the knob.

2. Thread the end of the cord through desired number of large washers.
3. Experiment with different number of washers, get your leash length perfect for you.
4. To finish the end: 

  • Thread the small washer onto the end of the cord by heating the end of the cord with a lighter, and using pliers while warm to form the end into a stick shape.
  • Thread the stick through the small washer, then cut off the end of the cord.
  • Melt the end of the flow and while the end is still soft/melted, use the edge of the lighter to flatten the end into a substantial disk of melted cord-tip.

Tip: if the melted plastic sticks to the lighter, it’s too hot. Wait a second before shaping it.

5. Pull the cord up and it’s playtime!





To install knob handle directly onto FPC rope:


1. Wrap tape around the cord about 1/8 of an inch from the tip. The 1/8" end is important since you'll be melting that section to create a flat puck which will keep the cord from pulling back through the knob

2. Thread the taped end of the cord through the knob and plastic knob washer
3. Add metal washers for extra weight as needed
4. To finish the end, check out this support page: https://flowtoys2.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/6000253502-how-to-adjust-length-of-fpc-cord-flowmoja-podpoi-glitterbomb-meteors-and-more

The section about melting/finishing the end of the cord starts at 5:11 

5. Pull the cord so the melted puck is inside the base of the knob and it’s playtime!


Installing knob handle onto floop

  1. Thread string through the floop handle, then thread both ends of string through the hole in the knob.
  2. Pull the floop through the knob using the string.
  3. Thread the ends of the string through the washer(s). Pull the loop through the washer(s) leaving a small loop at the end of the floop.
  4. Fold back the loop at the end of the floop until it sits snugly over all the washers.
  5. Pull the floop up until the washers all nest snugly in the knob. You are ready to flow!
