You did a really nice comparison and I enjoyed watching it. I love hook reviews. I have four girls odyssey, but I really love my tulips, my clovers, and my nitpicks laminated wood hooks. My hands are child size so the big long hooks with the big long shaft are not for me, no matter how pretty they are, and I think we will agree that they are pretty. Thanks again for the review and comparison, Sandy from Cincinnati.

@Kimberly_Knit4Brains 6 месяцев назад

Hi Deb, I'm with you! I still love my Tulip hooks, but for resin hooks, I really love these Ophire. I'll look at the ones you mentioned, thank you! XX Kim

I’ve tried tulip and clover, I like the clover handles better. The thumb bump on tulip hurts my thumb. Other than that the hooks are basically the same.

Thank you for this video. I was looking at the Ophires and could not quite decide. I think I will give them a shot…ESPECIALLY since my Furls hook snapped and broke 😡. Pretty much done with them. Great review…looking forward to the next. 😊

If your hook snaps you get a new one… just contact the customer service:)

@dawnandhallahavingfun5313 6 месяцев назад

I got my first Furls and its hard to use. The yarn keeps falling off the hook. The other thing I noticed is Furls size M hook is put as an 8mm while an 8mm for everyone else is an L. I also like the colors better on the Ophire.

@Kimberly_Knit4Brains 6 месяцев назад

Hi Dawn, 👋 I totally agree with you on all counts!! I will be adding more colors to my Ophire collection! XX Kim

@sw33tnycandy 2 месяца назад

Thank you for this in deph review! I've checked for Ophire but was wondering how it compared to a furls which I honestly didn't like as the heads is too long for my crochet style. Furls causes my loops to be pulled creating drag. They are super smooth but also very fragile. I would hope Ophire is sturdier.

@Kimberly_Knit4Brains 2 месяца назад

You are so welcome! I have done several side by side comparisons between Ophire and Furls...Ophire resin hooks continue to WOW me when compared to Furls resin hooks...they are much sturdier and the head of the Ophire hooks is what really made the difference for me (and Ophire is less expensive than the Furls). You can check out Ophire here and try them for yourself ;) ophireco.com/?sca_ref=5235540.6PEj1Rai7x

@anitastevens-davis8826 4 месяца назад

I'm a new subscriber ( heard about you from Juan) and I agree with you about the hooks. I have several Furls hooks but don't use them. I am using Ommi hooks and still searching.

Barbie hooks have been gone for days. I have both brands and like ophire better myself. I don't care about the Barbie hooks, hate pink to begin with. Furls hooks are to expensive for my budget. I heard about Omni hooks and will order some of those to try. Their price is lower than the ophire so I want to compare them.

@Kimberly_Knit4Brains 6 месяцев назад

Hi Anne!! I was afraid they would be sold out. Thank yiu for your comment, I am really LOVING the Ophire hooks. I'll be getting more sizes! XX Kim

I bought the Addi ergonomic hooks. Do not like them because the metal part is way too short for me. Someone told me that they have another version with a longer metal part now. Addi swing maxi

@pamelaparham5489 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for the review! I was bummed when I wasn't able to get a Furls Odyssey hook as metal hooks are my favorite. I like my Clovers, but I like the bigger handles on the Furls. I may give these Ophires a look. And off the crochet hook topic, what is the acrylic/wool yarn with the red, blue, and gray you are using in your review?

@Kimberly_Knit4Brains 6 месяцев назад

Glad I could help Pamela! I'm using my Ophire hooks everyday now and I'm loving them even more! The yarn I'm using (and you'll see more in the coming weeks) is by Katia yarn. It's called "Azteca" (I got it on sale). Here's the link www.katia.com/us/azteca-wool-acrylic-lilac-grey-yarn-7832?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA2KitBhCIARIsAPPMEhIIz4GthNx0hz6qt-Fz5whGYfGscmbfAoRrhrQ8u3m6hZfbER3I5b4aAm9tEALw_wcB

When the founder of Furls stepped down, the new ladies decided to change the way hooks are made and manufacturer…they released this on a video Or a live they did. I’ve bought many of the original Furls and some of the new Furls hooks. I’m not a fan of their new hooks. I don’t like the inline head and they don’t seem as ergonomic any longer. I just bought a full set of Ophire and I’m hoping they will be everything I want and need. I agree with you….but I’d like to know which Furls hooks you’re using in this video An old original hook or the ones produced by the new owners????

@Kimberly_Knit4Brains 4 месяца назад

WOW! This is great information Krista, thank you so much for sharing this background!! I don't know which "version" I have, but this is great history. Personally, I'm still in love with the Ophire Resin hooks (over Furls) but I have become a big fan of the Furls Streamline Metal hooks! XX Kimberly
