I love my Tulip hooks! I have Furls, Armour, Susan Bates, etc. Tulip is the best for me hands down. I was glad to read in the comments below that the size label stays on! I think you will love these hooks!! I wish I had the pink I have the dark grey.

@Meadow414 3 года назад

I'm a clover girl, don't feel bad about liking them more than the others. And if you don't really love tulips, you could return them and get 200 dollars worth of yarn insted! I love you guys so much 💗

@laurathunder4388 3 года назад

For many years I used Susan Bates hooks because I preferred the way they felt in my hand Boye hooks. I developed arthritis and was not able to crochet for any length of time until I discovered Clover Amour hooks. I had tried using the Boye ergonomic hooks but they are very heavy and caused my hands and wrist to fatigue very quickly. When I first found the Clover Amour hooks they were at Jo-Ann fabrics and were $7.99 each. Also at that time set of clover Amour cost $70 on Amazon I collected mine one hook at a time at Jo-Ann fabrics and I will never go back to other hooks

@ellenwrin-herron4824 3 года назад

I found the Clover kit in a pretty case on Amazon for around 55 USD. It's not as fancy as the Tulip case, but it's in fun colors and has a nice little fabric flap to cover the hooks so they don't rub against each other when closed up. They really help me to crochet for a long time with no hand pain.

@suebigger5097 3 года назад

Thank you for the comparison. Won’t waste $200 on the Tulip hooks.

@kerrynwright 3 года назад

I have both Clover & Tulip sets... my wonderful hubby bought the Tulip set for my 60th birthday last year. I've had a 4mm Tulip hook for years & that's my go to 4mm hook & I crochet for hours each day & no wearing off of the hook size. I prefer the grips on the Tulip hooks & the shaft of the Clover hooks, so combining the 2 would be heaven! I love my Clover & Tulip hooks equally! I'll be interested to hear your thoughts after using the Tulip hooks on longer projects.🥰 Blessings from South Australia💕🐨

@deeraines9416 3 года назад

I love my Boye pink set. I took 2 steps to keep track of sizing. I ended up using a sharpie to write size and color of the metal in the case. Using an engraving tool to put the size on the metal itself helps. I use my hooks and needles daily and withing a month 3 of my hooks had already lost the embossed silicone sleeve.

@JaydaInStitches 3 года назад

Hi Dee! Thank you for sharing 😊

@Bromhildy 3 года назад

I have both Clover and Tulip hooks. I absolutely adore my Tulips. I have arthritis. Tulip and Clover both comfortable to hold. The hook size print on each hook has never worn off. As I am legally blind, I can see the hook size on Tulip but not on the Clovers. I have 3 sets of Tulip. Pink, Grey Steel, Grey Gold. Also the smaller travel packs. However it is what you are used to holding. As I’ve used Tulip more then Clover, therefore I prefer Tulip.

@michellesanchez741 3 года назад

agreed, I don't like the Pink set at all. I don't know why they try and say that the pink and dark hooks are the same? They are NOT!! The dark ones with the gold shaft are Superior to the Pink ones. From the handle, thumb deck to the ease and pointed tip of the Gold shaft dark ones!!! I like tulip up to a 5.5mm. my 6.0mm and up I like my clovers.

@michellesanchez741 3 года назад

@@Pitoonya yes, it's so strange that they market them as being the same just a different color. The only reason I found out that they were different is because I needed a 5.5mm hook for a baby blanket that I wanted to make for my first granddaughter ( due to be born in 10 days ) so already having some Tulips and loving them I decided to go with the Pink hook. As soon as I started using it I thought " this doesn't feel the same as my other Tulips" I'm almost done with the blanket now and will NOT be using this pink hook again!!!

@anneramirez9577 3 года назад

Do you find with multiple WIPs, that your hooks “disappear” until you finish? I have hooks all over the place, stuck in projects. It’s ridiculous! So my resolution-not New Year’s- is to finish all these WIPs before I start anything else. Of course, people will have to take a break from having babies, and the grandkids will have to quit growing, lol…

@anitaalbert1836 3 года назад

I put a bread tag you get on your bread bag and i label it with the size of the needle for each project. So if I only have so many hooks, I know the size.

@Queendreamer 3 года назад

Im the same with projects all over the place with a hook in each one. My goal is also to finish then all before starting anything new

@JaydaInStitches 3 года назад

Hi Anne! I usually pin a note to my WIP indicating what hook I'm using and where I left off, just to avoid "losing" my hooks (been there, done that!!)

@loriscrochetcreations8566 3 года назад

Hello Anne, I had the same problem. I fixed it by placing a paper (detailing which project using the hook)in the slot where the hook's placement is my hook case. Never failed me yet. Hope this is helpful. By the way, I still have a pile of unfinished wips and I'm still saying that I'm going to finish those first. Haha!

@PeggySmithSC 2 года назад

@@loriscrochetcreations8566 Love this idea. I like my hooks in the project bags themselves because we often leave the house quite quickly, and I never leave without a project bag! I even keep one in the car, but sometimes I have one I'm working on that has an earlier need by/want by date! I like being ready to go in an instant, and need a lot of variety in projects to keep my wandering mind happy! I've begun purchasing the un-branded light-up kits with 11 hook sized and often extra notions in the packs like stitch markers, yarn needles, and even a small magnifying glass. I've begun using these kits in my project bags. What a big difference! They come with wildly varying prices, so watch for your best price with the most number of hooks if you decide to purchase any of these!

@carolineadams1325 3 года назад

Don’t think I could justify spending that much. I bought a set of Clover hooks last year and love them. Also having grip issues I found I do only need to lightly hold them rather that than having to grip firmly. However, any hook is better than none!

@RainbowPawPrint 2 года назад

I wouldn’t go straight for an expensive set of a hook I’ve never tried before. When I first heard of Tulip, I started off buying just one hook to try it out first. I fell in love instantly and therefore decided it was worth it to buy a whole set considering how much I crochet.

@anneshirley3437 3 года назад

@sandygrogg1203 3 года назад

The pink Tulips are pretty, but I plan to stick with my much loved Clovers... for several reasons.. First of all, I am visually impaired, so having each size be a particular color is a huge help. Having the sizes embossed is nice, too. Secondly, I love the feel of my Clovers.. Thirdly, my Clovers fitbperfectly in my child sized hands. Fourth.. The price is right.. Oh yes.. I love your longer hair.. 😕 Sometimes I still get out my old...but colorful Susan Bates and Boye aluminum hooks... Just because………

@smmsjw 3 года назад

Hi Sandy, I am also visually impaired. I love my Clover hooks very much. I also use Furls crochet hooks as well. I crochet using an adaptive method. I place the base of the hook against my body and work with both hands. My right hand controls the tension and my left hand controls the yarn overs.

@fstremblaygoban 2 года назад

The hook size is not a sticker. It’s just a smoother section of the rubber handle. I’ve had mine for years and the size does not rub off, it’s as sharp as it was the day I got them, absolutely no fading.

Everyone loves Clover but for me the raised logo on the handle rubs my hand and irritates it. I love love love my Tulip Etimo set. They're my go-to hooks when my Furls aren't ideal.

@vegangelist 3 года назад

Yes! I hate that raised logo AND that wretched FLAT handle. Ugh! That thumb bump on the tulips changes EVERYTHING! Plus, the fatter heads in the tulips more closely mimics the effect of an inline hook. The clovers are more tapered, which is why they ARE really nice for things like amigurumi and other things you need to work tightly. But I can't work with them for hours on end without cramping, like I can with my tulips. Plus, the tulips are EVEN smoother! They changed my life several years ago! I've NEVER looked back. You couldn't PAY me ENOUGH to trade out my tulips for clovers or anything else. Truly. My hubby knows that, if we had to leave the house suddenly, the tulips would be one of the first things I would grab. LOL I have two pink, three grey, one blue steel set, plus a mini set and a bunch of individual hooks. I use furls streamlined swirls for many large hook projects, though. And prym large hooks for times I don't want the furls.

I have both sets and Tulip is much nicer. Mine are not hard plastic though. The handle is a softer rubber and the hook ends are brushed gold. I purchased a set of 6 black handled hooks on Amazon for $65.00…I had to purchase the 6 1/2mm hook separately, so I now have seven hooks in a much nicer tulip set for much less than half the price. I’d return your pink set and get the much better black soft rubber set and save money and have the nicest set made IMO.

@ola4484 8 месяцев назад

I love simple and very basic hooks with silicone grip - very cheap. I watched some videos about various hooks and a lot of people recommended clovers soft grip. I've bought (thank God ) only 3 numbers and I don't like them at all. They are not as expensive as pink tulips but still pretty expensive. I was disappointed. Finally I tried Knit Pro Waves - I love them, they are light but not too light, have perfect hook that doesn't slip, that have different colours in different numbers and they go with reasonable price. I prefer knife grip so they are perfect for me. Recently completed all set. I don't buy in sets cause I don't want to be disappointed and pay a lot at the same time :D

@janeweller 3 года назад

My grandma had only steel hooks and I never learned how to crochet with them. My hand was starting to hurt after a few minutes of using them. Then I bought the Clover type of hooks (they are brandless but they look the same as Clover hooks). I tried that hard rubber/plastic ergonomic hooks and they were getting slippery after some time of crochetting. Softer rubber handles have so much better grip.

@llinewoodall3695 3 года назад

I have some steel hooks also that I use for my thread crochet projects. More than a decade ago I found these grips to put on those tiny hooks. They kind of like like miniature pool noodles and slide(very tightly) on to the hook. I'm sorry but I have no idea what they are called or if they even exist anymore, just thought someone who needs something like this to make a small hook fatter can at least know they could still be out there somewhere maybe.

Same here though mine are pink. Also got on sale for about $60 for entire kit. Have tried so many but Tulip seem to fit my hand best. Have tried Addi, Furls, beautiful hand made from Etsy but find most are too long for a smaller hand. Love my Tulips.

What? Where did you find that deal ? Not on Amazon and Not in California !!! Last time i checked Amazon The Rose colored set was $179.99 .

I’ve heard that people who like Boye often prefer Clover and those who like Bates prefer Tulips. My grey handle Tulips were on sale on Amazon ( about $60 US) and I love love love them! (I was a Bates girl!)

Hi Margot! I have the black handle Tulips..didn't know they had grey ones! Also, knit, purl & Squirrel said they have red handle Tulips. 😳

This is July 2024, I’ve had my tulips for about three years, and they still look brand new. My clovers are even older and they still look good too. These are two really good products, and I think anyone would be happy with either one.but I have to be honest and say that I seem to prefer the tulips. They are beautiful, and feel perfect in my very small hands. The big fuss for the clovers is that each size has its own color. This is valuable to me as I am., as I am legally blind. However, I will say that the white on black of the tulip is also very helpful. The pinks have black on pink, and that is good too. You just can’t lose with either one of these hooks

I prefer inline hooks - I wouldn't buy either set lol. It does seem as though the Tulips are overpriced for what you get.

@brief402 3 года назад

Thank goodness someone is on my level with the inline! I just can't with all these super expensive hooks AND then all being tapered... if big company wants to make money off of us they need to cater to our inline needs

I love my Clovers. 2nd is my Susan Bates Bamboo handled hooks. I do have one brown Tulip Hook in size K. That's another thing - the Tulips in Pink don't have the letters on them and I am an American and used to that. My Clovers have the MM as well as the Letter size on them. Thank you for the review! 💜

@Cdees57 3 года назад

I'm in love with Clover and Furls. I think your bag may be dyed ostrich leather. Looks like the grain on a pair of ostrich leather boots I have. So $50+ may be cost of the zippered bag. Good luck with them.

@rebeccamiller8104 3 года назад

I'm a Clover girl myself, but I do have a set of the red Tulips. The red ones have more of a rubber grip like the Clovers. They are not plastic like the pink Tulips so the red ones are also an option to try. 🥰

I've been using crochet hooks that I ordered from Amazon from something called Yarniss? They're ergonomic hooks that seem similar to clover. An assortment up to 10 mm. It came in a little flowered case,with scissors, needles and stitch markers. To be honest I thought the case was cute so I ordered them. They weren't very expensive either $15.99

You should try the Furls Odyssey hooks. I really love the large handles! They are my favorites, with the clovers close behind. I have one Tulip hook that I like, but once I tried the Furls I stopped using the Tulip. I prefer the wider handle, otherwise my hands hurt. Enjoy the Tulips, i’ve heard good things about them as well. Everyone’s hands are different.

@crochetcreations3232 3 года назад

The Furls Odyssey are supposedly good for people who have arthritis. Read the reviews. They are expensive but worth trying. They are returnable for any reason within a period of time, I forgot how long. But there is an adjustment period. They often have sales. I initially tried them because I prefer a metal ergonomic hook but the clover hooks are plastic from 6.5 mm and larger. I loved my clovers but not the plastic ones, so I tried the 6.5 mm tulip and then tried the Furls Odyssey. Over time I got used to it and now love it and bought many more, a few hooks at a time. However they have stickers for sizing. Some people use clear nail polish to keep the stickers on. I made labels with a label maker and that works. But it is slippery at first without a thumb deck. It takes time but I love the Furls best. When I use my Clovers they feel so thin now, although they are wonderful hooks.

@margaretpena1021 3 года назад

I also like the Furls. Once I tried them, none of my other ergonomic hooks were comfortable anymore.

@matildarei 3 года назад

The Odyssey hooks are one of my favorites of the Furls brand, but they are heavy. And there *is* an adjustment period. I tried the Alpha and was discouraged that it was so strange to use. Then, all of a sudden, it was the best hook I had ever used!

@@DesertNails Odyssey. I tried the streamlines, but they had a drag when crocheting, so I returned and exchanged for me Odysseys.

@loriscrochetcreations8566 3 года назад

I have clover hooks, but I find them too short. I bought some other brand of ergo hooks and they are longer and have a nice rubber handle. I actually stopped using clover and started using these other hooks. I was gripping the clovers in a way that the handle was hurting the palm of my hand. Using the longer hooks made me change the way I held the hook and now I went back to clover and I'm using them the same way I was using the longer hooks. Thank you for your honest opinion. I'm sold on clover. I just wish the handle was longer.

@sandraouaguena296 3 года назад

I have the pink Tulip Etimo since 2016. I also have the gray Tulip Etimo set. Recently I got the “red” Tulip Etimo set in my most used sizes(4.00 - 6.50 mm) on “Etsy” for $65 US. I did not get the set on Amazon because it was very pricey & the sizes in that set were very small which I rarely use so not worth it for me. You can buy just individual red Tulip Etimo hooks on Amazon. By the way the sticker has never come off and as I said I have been using them for years. Enjoy!

Update: I’m still…nine months later…and don’t plan to buy any Tulips… However… I have bought…over time…four Furls Odyssey hooks. To be honest, there was…for me, anyway, a definite learning curve with them. I almost returned the first one, but a friend encouraged me to give it a few days… The hook felt big, in my small hand, and the nickel plsted shaft was almost too smith. I’m glad I gave the Odyssey a chance, because I grew to love it. My Clovers are still my favorite hooks, but I also appreciate my Odysseys…That nickel plated shaft is awesome.

I just purchased a tulip hook size 3mm and I was very disappointed. It costed me 160 Egyptian pounds which is 10 dollars. My regular basic ones cost 10 pounds each. Less than a dollar and it worked just fine. thank God I didn't get a full set lol

@Robinedghill 2 года назад

The red tulip are so much better

@Kitty-JuneOhSixJanTwentyFour 2 года назад

The pink and red tulip sets are quite unnecessarily expensive imo. I have the older, gray handle Tulip Etimo set with gold heads, which are cheaper than pink and red. I have a knife grip and I like my Tulips a lot. Never had hand fatigue or grip pain so far with them. I heard Tulip stickers are quite good and strong and does not come off for many many years, but yeah engrave mm would have been better. I can't compare them with clovers though, cause they are not sold in my country. I do not wanna buy them via Amazon to bring from abroad, cause why should I pay extra customs etc money when I already have Tulips anyways :P I also hering prym and knitpro hooks a lot. I think they are both the same company's products (not sure), both German. But they are soo soo expensive for me to wanna buy honestly.

@brief402 3 года назад

I'm super simple. Susan bates soft kinda girl. Aluminum hook with a rubber grip that starts BELOW the natural thumb rest. And the only reason I even got it is because my original hook a no name boye shaped hook in the size 5.75mm (no I'm not kidding) was so short that it dug into my palm. I needed something loooonger Other than that my favorite hook is a premier deluxe wooden hook. Just so smooth and head is sharp. Love it, but only have 1. I don't believe I'll ever buy the expensive ones (though I do have a clover 7mm solely because no other brand had that size and I needed all the sizes)

@Jujubeaeri 3 года назад

I love Boye, clover AND when I’m feeling fancy I love my furls. I bought 1 tulip hook last year and I don’t like it.

@christielamb2894 3 года назад

Of the aluminum hooks I prefer Susan Bates over Boye. Since graduating to ergonomic hooks, I'm a Clover Amore girl. I'm 2 hooks shy of a full standard set (I started buying the separate hooks to give them a try). I'm thinking of picking up the steel hooks as well. I'm not too sure about the larger size hooks because they are plastic and I only use the big hooks once in awhile. My larger Susan Bates hooks don't make my hands ache like the smaller sizes can. The hook case was nice but, I found a nice crochet pattern for a hook roll that I was able to extend to hold a couple more hooks or a pen and pencil. I just attach my needles and markers to the top flap. I normally carry a folding scissors, measuring tape, markers ECT in a little tin or a fat medicine bottle in my project bags.

@normajean2855 Год назад

i caught my dog beginning to chew on my tulip hook...right where the label is, even that hasnt seperated the label, Ive tried to scratch a tiny bit but no movement so i think its definitely and unusual technique theyve used for the said label , Ive also had mine for several years,the sizing still looks brand new..(I can still read the size on the dog chewed needle thank god!!) but in saying all this I may try the clover for the larger thumb rest, I too have athritis in my hands and strugging just a little..so thanks for the comparison...

I have Osteo-arthritis and find my metal hooks hard to use. My Sister bought me a kit with hooks with rubber grips. No brand name on them but my hands don't hurt like they did with the metal ones and I like the slight give in the rubber grips. I think of it as a slight shock absorber
