The perfect objet d'art for play, practice, and performance... or simply a joy to admire.
Our handmade cotton juggling balls are as beautiful as they are functional: tactile, balanced, and designed with care to delight both beginners and seasoned enthusiasts.
Created by Gem of Tightrope Knots in her Cambridgeshire workshop, these pieces are the result of hours of patience and precision. Each strand of cotton is carefully measured, looped and twisted into the perfect rope, then shaped into the perfect juggling ball.
What makes these juggling balls truly special is the craft that lies within them. By carefully controlling the tension, weight, and fill, Gem creates juggling balls with just the right balance of firmness and softness, giving them a reassuring weight, yet a gentle “give” that makes them forgiving on catches and drops. The hand-stitching is not only beautiful but ensures durability, strength, and lasting performance.
More than just practice props, these juggling balls are a testament to a fading craft. Each one is unique – no two balls will ever be quite the same – making them as worthy of display on a shelf as they are of flight in the air. For collectors, they are an heirloom piece. For performers, they are tools of both artistry and expression. For beginners, they are a joyful starting point, infused with history and care.
Lead time: please note that these leashes are made-to-order. Allow 2-3 weeks for your order to be made and shipped, although we'll endeavour to exceed expectations.
Materials: cotton fibre
