What is Astrojax?
The Happiest Color Scheme Yet -- The Joebro Signature Model
Joebro (aka Joseph Clements) had a unique and beautiful, graceful style of Astrojax play based on continual improvisation. He was also an active member of the Astrojax community for years, posting on the Forum discussion boards and creating customized versions of the toy. He was a big fan of the new Astrojax Weaves but, sadly, was fairly sick by the time he received the first sets. The colors for the Joebro Signature are taken from a fractal he created. He died of cancer and 15% of proceeds will be donated to cancer research. We miss you Joebro, great Astrojaxer, talented musician, and all-around beautiful soul, and hope you would approve of the Joebro Signature model.

Fair Trade Principles
We believe it is urgently necessary to develop and implement environmentally- and socially-responsible business practices, and are intent on doing so and sharing what we learn in the process so that others may follow suit. We also believe that open-ended, creative, physical play is vital to the development of children and greatly beneficial to adults.
The Science
There's a lot of science in Astrojax's three balls on a string. Astrojax has been used to teach physics at the grade school, high school, and college levels, NASA has taken Astrojax into outer space as part of its Toys in Space education program, and Astrojax has even been the subject of research on nonlinear dynamics and chaos using sophisticated computer modeling and advanced mathematics.
Hybrid Artisan/High-Tech Design
As far as we know, the Astrojax Weave is the first product to combine hand-crafted textiles with precision-tooled metal and injection-molded plastic. Also, as far as we know, we are the only company to produce a crocheted item with a size tolerance of +/- 1 mm! To properly interface the crochet, plastic, and metal necessitates a level of precision previously unheard of for crochet, requiring extensive training of our craftspeople and stringent quality control to bring you the best version of Astrojax yet!
