I’m a longtime crocheter and was really curious about these hooks. It is beautifully made but I wish I’d had a chance to try it out before spending this much money on a crochet hook. It’s just not for me. Not particularly comfortable to my taste. I’ll be sticking with the Tulip hooks for the foreseeable future.Wanted at least one in my collection and picked a size K , 6.5 mm. Comfortably functional and beautiful to look atIt is nice as my other size one, my only complaint is that this one tends to snag or catch on the yarn. So it isn't a easy crochet flow. I may try using a little bit of sandpaper to the edge of the hook to see if it helps. Otherwise, I love these hooks so much!! Hopefully this was just a fluke.I love the hook but the chips in the hook snag my yarn and separate it unfortunate for the costThese are the best crochet hooks!! Smooth, light weight, a bit liner than average crochet hook so I am not poking edge of hand!! I am so grateful I can get these in Amazon!!Best hook after trying 4 other brands, pointed, angled, light and easy to hold!It's pleasant to use this ergonomic hook. I love that it's inline and really holds onto my stitches. I gave it a real test earlier today and found that despite the lovely feeling of warm polished wood in my hand, the stem is a bit too long, making it feel kind of awkward at times.I’m a knitter, not a crocheter. What was I thinking?! So, I gave it to my sister & she loves it.
