My husband is watching this with me and his first comment on the lighted hooks was "Light sabers for crocheters"! We are avid gamers and Star Wars fans so these may be the hooks to get him to try crochet LOL. Thanks for the great and informative video!

@SecretYarnery 6 лет назад

Gamers Unite! What do you guys play? We're a WoW family. Savage Fury - Mannoroth. :D xx!

@dianerobinson4970 6 лет назад

WoW since about 2009? 2010? My son got me hooked and I dragged my hubby with me! Delusions of Grandeur (Alliance) and Carpe Noctem (Horde) Eitrigg-Shu'halo. Started out alliance, then went horde now we just play the toon that suits our mood!

Hurray! Yes - we're Cata babies. 2011? Started our own guild before we knew better, but now have a heap of amazing players/friends, and have guilt pangs when playing our Horde toons... don't think I've even dragged 1 to 110 yet! Lol! Oquana#1960 is my battle tag. Xx!

I LOVE my Clover hooks!! Agree with all you said about them! I had a problem with my hand going numb when I used regular metal or plastic hooks, and that problem was solved with the Clover hooks!

@belindagarza3958 Год назад

I'm having trouble with pain and numbness right now. Thank you for you're comment. I've been looking through videos to find something to help.

@dianeholleran3830 6 лет назад

I totally agree with you Christa, Clover Amour hooks are my absolute favorite. I love the color coded sizes and the imprinted size that doesn’t wear off. Great informative video. Have a great day!

@michellerose5327 5 лет назад

I started out using "Boye" when I was 7 years old. I now have my favorite "Clover". I keep a variety, so I can tutor others.

@charlottegreely5909 5 лет назад

I just got a set from Yarnology sizes 2.0 to 7.0mm at Hobby Lobby for $9.99. Very lightweight and easy to use for seniors like me. They are color coded too.

@michellenash6802 2 года назад

I watched this video several yrs ago. I found the clover hooks on sale and on Amazon (thinking if I didn’t like them I’d give to my mom who also crochet). The first time I crocheted w a clover hook ...I was in L. O. V. E !! The glide through the yarn us amazing and makes a HUGE difference in fatigue...even the larger plastic hooks glide like butter!! When I crochet it’s usually for 8-12 hrs, so not having that drag makes a huge difference !!!!

@SecretYarnery 2 года назад

I agree Michelle Nash! 👍 Thank you! 🌺🌻🌸

@triciabarone7829 4 года назад

The Rose Tulips are my fave. I also love my Clover Amour. I painted black acrylic paint into the Clover numbers then wiped it off, leaving it in the recessed area. Much easier to identify now. I’m teaching my 10 year old granddaughter to crochet. I gave her a Clover Amour 5.0 mm to start out. I don’t want her to get discouraged with an inferior hook.

@StitchUponAStarr 6 лет назад

I've tried all hooks but tulip rose are my absolute favorites 💕

@Opheliamelts 6 лет назад

It's always interesting to see what hooks people prefer! I think a lot of it comes down to how you hold your hook. I don't personally love the Clover Armour but Clover Soft Touch are my absolute favorite hook! I hate that they don't have them in a larger size range. I hate doing larger projects because they don't have them past like size J I believe.

@SecretYarnery 6 лет назад

Hi, Opheliamelts! I would love to try the Soft Touch one day! Thank you so much for sharing! xx

@julibeswick-valentine3690 6 лет назад

What a range of hooks, thank you for the well thought review. I now use large ergonomic handled hooks I bought from Etsy which are expensive but amazing. They enable me to continue crocheting with my arthritic hands and I'm eternally grateful for them.

@SecretYarnery 6 лет назад

Oh those sounds amazing, juli beswick-valentine! Thanks so much for sharing! xx

@lindarodgers7538 6 лет назад

My favorite hook to use is Susan Bates, the inline of the hook is great for beginners, the hook stays the same size through it does not taper like other hooks, easier to pull the yarn through. I have used Susan Bates for over 50 years, so I guess that is why they are my favorite I started crocheting with them, if I had started with the other hook would probably like them better. Thank you for showing all the other hooks.

@SecretYarnery 6 лет назад

Thanks for sharing, Linda Rodgers! xx

@skylark5789 6 лет назад

I am such a Boye girl! lol. but now I want to try the Clovers. I LOVE how you go into detail about the shape of the hook..the narrowness, or flat sides, etc. perfect! Those things will make or break a hook for me. Maybe you should design your own brand? I bet they would be spectacular!

I just LOVE this tutorial. When I started crocheting I bought the inexpensive Boye and Bates hooks and realized how much I did not care for them . Every now and then they work good for a project I'm on, but I am a Clover Hook lover. I also love the plastic hooks and even plastic knitting needles. You just sold me on the larger Clover hooks and I will eventually purchase them individually. This was really helpful because now I don't have to try all these different brands. My hands never cramp up with the Clovers and I hold my hook the same way you do. Thanks Christa!!

@mollycatcolorado9252 2 года назад

What a clever little adaptation you made to your crochet hook pouch at around the 27:45 mark. Unpicking the thread on the elastic dividers to turn two smaller hook holders into one larger elastic for the oversized hooks to fit comfortably. Thanks for sharing!

I've recently converted to Clover Armour, only been crocheting for 69 years ;-) and wow! what a difference they make. My squeaky uncomfortable collection of grotty, yarn splitting hooks were donated to an op shop. Your tutorial says it all, like you I won't comment on the furl$ but I am inspired by those little lite hooks as darker colours are the bane of my life in the evening!! Cheers, Sandra

@Desaundrea 4 года назад

I love love love my Crochet Lite hooks! They are my go to hooks for all my projects unless I am crocheting a club kit that requires their hook, if it was provided. My Crochet Lite hooks are the best for me because I have insomnia, so I crochet in the dark while hubby sleeps. Great job!

@mellodym5931 3 года назад

Ran across this video this morning (again). Every crocheter needs a lighted hook! Not only for crocheting at night, if need be, but they make a great "flashlight" in case of emergency! :) I've carried one in my purse for years!

@VioletPapillon 6 лет назад

Hooks! I have so many different hooks, i tried so many... Plastic, wooden, bambo, metall with and without soft grips. But i was never really satisfied and then i got my tulip. Its just love! So, what clover is to you, my tulip are for me. :) I hope i get the pink set for birthday, i have the gold/grey set and really cant use any other hooks anymore. Oh, i do have a 7 and 8 mm Tulip, but mine look totally different. More metallic color and they do have 2 flat sites, dont look or feel like a pencil. Maybe your hooks are a bit older and they improved it?

@lindcobbs4615 5 лет назад

I've seen tons of videos on crochet hooks and they mostly talk about the ergonomics of the different hooks but nothing about how smoothly the yarn slides of these hooks. I bought an old vintage UK crochet made of steel by a company named Bernat Aero and Viking Aero. Not sure what type of coating was used on these hooks but the yarn glides off of these hooks effortlessly and super smooth. I've been searching the web like crazy trying to find these hooks or something similar with no luck.

@tamaraj4200 4 года назад

Aero is a budget brand that bargin stores sell. I have a few as well and they work ok. The coating is just a simple plastic coating.

@allieg6401 5 лет назад

I appreciate the fact that you don't want to say anything bad about Furls. They are touted as 'ergonomic' but when I look at them I don't really see how the can be for pencil holding crocheters. 😕 I can for knife style though. Great video, thanks a bunch!

My favorite hooks are the Susan Bates. I like that the flat head doesn't split yarn. I recently got a set of the Susan Bates hooks with bamboo handles and LOVE them. They are a little longer and feel so good in the hand. Just my 2 cents worth.

@philiprichardson4696 6 лет назад

Like your program about crochet needles. I have never seen tulip needles. I use regular clover needles I really like them but would like to try the clover arm our. Is this what you are calling clover?

@AnjalaDick 6 лет назад

I'm with you. Susan Bates are the only hooks I use for non-lace weight yarns. I love how they hold the yarn (throat depth). My mother taught me to crochet with Susan Bates hooks. I've tried Boye hooks, but they just aren't as good. Most of the hooks in this video don't look anything like Susan Bates hooks. I lovingly call myself a hook snob. 😁

@donnarogers2429 6 лет назад

I bought some new Susan Bates Aluminum hooks recently. So disappointed with them. The hook is sharp, I can hear it when it goes through the yarn, I wonder if the yarn is being cut by the hook. I have used Susan Bates for 40 years, never had this problem. I will have to go and find the old ones.

I ordered the Clover's after your review and wish I had gotten the Clovers first, just saying, I find the fit is perfect for me. The perfect marriage of hook and yarn.

@jeanjohnson9073 6 лет назад

Hey Christa, thanks for the information on hooks. I didn't realize that there are so many different types, guess I've been under a rock. I do have Clover hooks, but they are called Soft Touch which I use most of the time -- they glide well thru the yarn, however, I haven't found a hook that I like yet for cotton #4 weight. I was thinking when you were filming in the closet, wouldn't it be funny if Dad came and ask the kids "where's Mom" and they answer, "oh she's in the closet crocheting." I purchased on Amazon a Beam n Read which is wonderful for crocheting dark colored yarns even if I'm not in the closet. ha ha

I still like using them in cases where I need to put a lot of yarnovers on the hook for one stitch pattern.

I agree with you on the different hooks and I especially agree with the light up hooks they are great for black yarn! I had stopped using black yarn until I got them now I can use black yarn or any really dark yarn and not need an alternative light source or my glasses(and the glasses did always help).

Thank you Christa, I have now ordered the large Stanwood and love it. I also am waiting on the hook bag, full set of Clover hooks, vintage scissors, stitch markers and the complete book of stitches. I did purchase and have look at The Complete Book of Crochet Bordee Designs. I just love hearing what you have to say about all the products you use.😊💖👍

The metal hooks were my first set also. Love ergonomic hooks. Husband bought me a set of light up hooks from Amazon. It came in a case with a USB recharge cord, but it has interchangeable heads. I normally keep the 6 mm head on it though. I love them when working with dark yarn. Recently purchased a Clover 8mm for bulky hats.

I use the lighted hooks for crocheting with when we go on a trip in the car. While my husband drives at night I can still work on my project. It does not bother him. Love them.

It’s my birthday and I’ve ordered a set of Clover Amours. I bought one to try and liked it. I’ve got arthritis and like the thicker ergonomic hook.

@lisaolson8263 6 лет назад

Just wanted to say thank you for the comparison. I have ordered the lighted hook set and the Clover set. I'm now subscribed.

Hi, Lisa Olson!! So glad you joined us! Nice to meet you! xx

I'm with your students on the tulips! Not only are they slightly more smooth than the amour hooks but the thumb rest is EVERYTHING! LOL The colors are cute in the amour set (I have a set) and I keep them as a backup (they are collecting dust) for a project where I need to crochet more tightly (they have more tapered, smaller heads, I think). But my thumb starts cramping after awhile with the clovers because, without the lowered position for the thumb, it isn't as natural/ergonomic a position for the hand. But I have the tulip rose set, plus a mini set and some individual hooks (plus now a gray set too) and I ADORE pink (and the case is GORGEOUS!). I'd rather have pink ombre than miscellaneous colors (although those looks cute sitting in my jar). The rose set does use different shades of pink for the different sizes. But they are well marked so I don't worry about that. Meanwhile, the super pricey furls hooks have practically illegible markings. I DO love the larger (7mm and up) clover amour hooks. That's all I will use (until that glorious, blessed day when tulip makes larger hooks) for large hooks. But after long crochet hooks I still notice the difference with those awful flat sections on the clover handle. It's all about the thumb dent. Tulip doesn't even know that I am their unofficial brand rep. LOL I've converted my two best crochet buddies to tulip (and large clover amour) and they won't use anything else (like me). I've converted many other people as well. I think the only ones, so far, who haven't gone on to love them were long-time Bates users who are used to that extremely deep cut in the hook.

Thanks so much for sharing, vegangelist! That is wonderful! xx

Tulip now has 3 large hooks on Amazon 10mm, 12mm, and 15mm. I LOVE my tulips too and just found out about the big ones and ordered them - can't wait for them to get here!!

@ticketNo713 6 лет назад

Hi Christa. I really love this video. Super informative. I'm not quite new anymore but always need to learn more. Thank you for introducing these brands to me. I've just been buying from my local super store as I need them. I'll collect hooks for forever so I'll definitely pick up new sets. And also thanks for showing the LED hooks because my mother bought a dark yarn to learn on, terrible choice. And her vision isn't that great and those would really help until she gets used to it. I really enjoyed your video. Keep crocheting!

@SecretYarnery 6 лет назад

Glad you enjoyed it, ticketNo713!! Get a Neck Light for your mom (and you!) They are the BEST for crocheting. Check them out: amzn.to/2A3N3yn

@jenniferruzic1126 2 года назад

My favorite hook is Susan Bates Soft Handle. I love the pointiness to get into tight stitches and I like the open throat better for grabbing the yarn and hanging on. I wish the foam handle was a little thicker. But I ordered some cushions for the handles.

@SecretYarnery 2 года назад

That's a great idea, Jennifer Ruzic! 👍 Thanks!! 🌺🌼🌸

Thanks. Perfect timing. I was just looking into buying some crochet hooks. This helped me make a better decision. Great video! Thanks again, Janet.

@catherinemcgrath5561 6 лет назад

Hi from Massachusetts. I've never used clover hooks. Started out with a Tulip set. Based on your great review of hooks, I definitely try the Clovers. Really enjoy your podcast!

@cosettalaws7812 6 лет назад

That was great. Thank you for showing the differences in hook brands and styles. Also do you have an PO Box for receiving cards, donations, etc? Have a blessed day!

@SecretYarnery 6 лет назад

Sure do! I'll put it in the description box. Can you email me yours? secretyarnery @gmail.com

@faziasingh9675 4 года назад

Thank you for sharing your wealth of information, now I'm certain what to purchase. I have learnt a lot here

@melaniefarrow7152 4 года назад

I have way too many hooks mainly because I NEED my hook color to coordinate with my yarn. Yes, I know it shouldn't matter. Thank you for the suggestions. I hope that woman sees your video and brings your hook back.

@tinnashort7208 6 лет назад

The blanket behind you at the first of the video looks so amazing across the couch. Thank you for all the information on the hooks. I was getting ready to buy a new set.

@mandaeugene1825 5 лет назад

I think that's a scrap yarn blanket. It's made using small amounts of left over yarn.

@robbiepittman278 3 года назад

I have a Prym hook that I absolutely guard!! (Especially from my cat!!). Prym, to me, is by far the best hook I've ever used. Amazon has them. Ohhh, you must try one!

@SecretYarnery 3 года назад

Oh thank you so much, Robbie Pittman! I will put them on my list for sure! 🌺🌻🌸

@merkinidgit Год назад

Agree with Prym. Th ergo handle is a combination of soft/grippy and hard plastic so easy on the hand but durable. The plastic hook has a texture that holds the yarn well but works fast. The head is tapered with a long neck; I don’t care for inline heads.

@RaquelLopeztagsbytika 6 лет назад

I am with you ... Clovers are a must .. they are my new go to fav hook .. they helped me finish that shawl in no time at all!!! Before he clovers I was using a fairly cheap ergonomic set that I like but now Clover has taken my heart. I had never heard of those edge it hooks I just use my rotary cutter to put the holes in the fabric then crochet through LOL ...

@mrs.r3575 5 лет назад

Thank you for your video. It helped me to understand the differences in these. I never knew of tulip brand. I currently like Susan Bates because the hook is in line with the shaft, but I would like to try clover. I noticed there is a gold hook set by clover called soft touch. I was thinking about trying that and one that was silver.

@vivianmichaelson9760 6 лет назад

Thanks for the information. My crochet is a handed down skill and so are my hooks. I love using my mother's Boye and seeing the wear on them. Your video is helping me consider the ergonomic hooks

@jamiemiesler322 11 месяцев назад

Boy is it hard to find a YTer that will just say “these are my favorite! But these!” That’s what I’m looking for. I know everyone has to consider not everyone likes the same things but

@regencylachica4484 6 лет назад

Just in time! I'm planning to buy crochet hooks. Thank you for reviews, makes it easy to decide now. I'll get the clovers and tulip, and I need to save money for them first. 😂

@moonbee03 4 года назад

We agree 100% in everything! Clover are my favorite and I have the exact same case! Thank you for the wonderful video.

@rosiedavidson-feather9733 4 года назад

Hi my name is Rose I love your videos I do not see very well so keep them up and I love how you talk about your crochet Hawks and what’s available and how you use them because not often people tell you about things and videos so the more you can do those videos of be good for someone that’s trying to learn that has a disability I would love to be able to one-day talk to you because it sounds really cool you sound like an awesome teacher I’m from New Zealand and that hopefully I could keep in touch with you because it be cool thank you so much love Rose

@richardschattel3894 4 года назад

I haven’t used that many hooks but out of the ones I have used Clover is my favorite. The bigger ones are great. I’m saving to get some more. I’ll buy them separate because I just need from 4.50 through 7. I have the larger ones. I enjoyed this video on hooks thank you.

@sunflowerlover7979 6 лет назад

I Love my lite up hooks especially for when my kids are at practice and I have to wait in the car in the dark for them to get done. I can crochet in the car in dark and occupy myself. ♥️

@amydavis4945 4 года назад

I just recently bought a hook set on Amazon that I am REALLY loving! They are listed as "Katech 8 Pieces Crochet Hooks". They have pretty handles that LOOK like porcelain, but they are in fact PLASTIC.... and the metal tip is blue and very easy-gliding. The handles are curved to fit in your hand no matter which way you hold your hook. I hold mine the same way you do (I call it "overhand"), but they are also comfortable if you hold them the other way (like a pencil). The whole set was only about $12 and being a Prime member, there was no shipping and I got them in like 3 days. They are **by far** my favorite hooks and I use them for everything. I just wish there were more sizes. They go from 2.5 - 6.0.

@nanalisa68 4 года назад

The lighted set I purchased, is rechargable, which is amazing. However the handle is the piece that you charge. The tip is changeable. I purchased the set on Amazon, they come in different colors, all in a case. I find the tips sometimes come loose, which can be a pain. But, I love the rechargable aspect.

@debrablanson1123 6 лет назад

Hi, I really like my light up hooks I only have two but they come in handy when I don't want the lights on at night.

@SecretYarnery 6 лет назад

Absolutely! xx

@sweethaven5 4 года назад

I used to use Susan Bates but I bought a N/P 10 Clover and it is AMAZING!! I LOVE IT, especially for my Bernat Bulky yarn. Although for the full set costs $80+. So I have bought the individual ones. It is definitely cool hook!! I do use the light up crochet hooks while camping/night fishing. It works really well too.

@SecretYarnery 3 года назад

That's awesome, sweethaven5! THANK YOU! 🌸👍🌺

@JennySimon206 2 года назад

Just bought my two sets of Clover hooks. Had some of the bigger plastic ones as well. Almost have them all now. Yay, just about to start my first pattern using my awesome hooks. Also bought a canvas mannequin head for making my hats and photography.

@SecretYarnery 2 года назад

That's awesome, Jenny Simon! Thank you!! 🌸👍🌺

@letsbehonst8611 6 лет назад

I use to love Susan bates inline hooks till clover amour entered my life. They never split my yarn, the handles are comfortable, they don't hurt my thumb, or make my hand tired.

@SecretYarnery 6 лет назад

Riiiight? And "affordable" compared to the "luxury hooks". SO worth it! xx

@peggydemolli 6 лет назад

One can never have enough crochet hooks! 😁 I have ordered some new after seeing your video. I have some UFOs and always put the crochet hook on it, so l know even in a half year, which hook I used.

@mermie353 6 лет назад

Great chat, I have tried many types of crochet hooks, one day I bought a rose tulip hook and had to get the set, was only hook I could crochet for hours and not gets sore hands or wrists, I also bought the set of grey tulip hooks, I love them so much, I bought one furl hook, but never again.. as I live in Australia the exchange rate and postage for one hook all up cost me $80 ugh I have to say I find the tulips better than the furl..take care..

@janedaniel7288 6 лет назад

I've just ordered a couple of the lighting up ones from Amazon. A 4mm & a 5mm as they are my most used sizes. I'll be able to use them in the night when I'm awake & won't have to switch the bedside lamp on which does disturb my husband. Can't wait for them to arrive. Great look at all the different hooks. I got the cheap purple set and still use them, also it doesn't matter if my grand daughter "borrows" them when I visit. I'm going to treat her to a set of her own but some decent make ones like the clover ones for her birthday. xxJane

I just tried clover amour hooks after being an avid Susan bates hook fan for 20+ years. I have to say ironically the clover hooks are my favorite susan bates alternative especially for those who experience hand pain and arthuritis.
