Featherweight Canary
Introducing the Featherweight Canary—the sequel to their 2018 collaboration with Radical Seas, now reborn with a new bimetal design and ultra-lightweight construction.
They aimed to maintain the playful spirit of the original while pushing the specs further away from the competition. With a 55g body and D bearing construction, the Featherweight Canary will unlock new flows from within you that you have yet to discover.
Please note that the bearing in your new Canary will come lightly lubricated. If your yo-yo feels responsive, a few minutes of play should allow the bearing to break in and achieve maximum performance.

Freshly’s Dirty’s Featherweight Canary is a bit of an oddity in my collection. It is an inner-ring bi-metal yo-yo with a diameter of around 54mm and a weight of only 55g. It also sports a D-size bearing. Light and unassuming, it looks and feels smaller than it is. It isn’t until you throw the Featherweight Canary that everything comes together.
A few weeks ago, I received a package from Freshly Dirty containing their newest yo-yo, the Fluke, and a yellow Featherweight Canary. I was super excited about the Fluke and interested in the latter, but not over the top. It sat in its box for a while as I gleefully took out the Fluke (review coming soon), slapped on one of my Throw-Yo strings, and put it through its paces. I made up a string for the Featherweight Canary a bit after, strung it up, and left it on my side table.
The next day I played with the Fluke some more, then decided to give the Featherweight a shot. It felt extremely light in my hands and, preferring heavier yo-yos, I was extremely skeptical if I would like this one. A couple of throws turned into a few tricks. A few tricks turned into a few more tricks. Those further tricks turned into me looking up new combos to try and learn. A few days later I was still throwing the Featherweight Canary.
Yes, it’s very light. However, the way it’s made, with its D bearing and inner bi-metal rings makes it perform amazingly. The Featherweight Canary is lightning-fast and incredibly stable. It’s comfortable in the hand…
