Clover Amour Crochet Hook: 5.0mm, 5.00m, Multicoloured

I do a lot of crocheting! I make hats for NICU babies, cancer patients, and the homeless, among other things. I use a variety of stitches and yarn weights to create my work. If I'm listening to a good book, I can sometimes crochet for two or three hours per day. br>br> I've tried every hook imaginable, from the most basic all-metal hooks to the more expensive Boye hooks. My "must have" requirements for a good hook are an ergonomic handle, a smooth hook and shaft, and a hook that won't split my yarn on the forward or pull stroke (I used to think that only an in-line hook would split my yarn). I thought a line hook would suffice, but I was mistaken. These are tapered hooks, and they're fantastic! ) Until I tried my first Clover Armour hook, my Boyes were my favorites. RIGHT AWAY, you could tell the difference! br>br>I'm not sure what they do to the hook and shaft (metal parts) of these ergonomic hooks, but the Clover Armours' hook and shaft aren't as shiny as the Boye or any other, and that not-so-shiny hook and shaft are a turn-off for me. The difference was immediately noticeable because the shiny metal glided through the yarn with such ease. As silky as a baby's crotch! br>br>My yarns (I only use medium, light, and sport weights) are not split by the hook. The hook does not pull the yarn, does not "pop through," and does not require yanking. I'll never be able to return to that place again. Crochet hooks that are the best I've ever seen!.

For the past 50 years, I've used standard metal crochet hooks, but my hands have recently expressed a desire for something less taxing. The size H hook was an experiment to see if I could use this handle style. I purchased the entire set of hooks a few days after receiving this one because it worked so well. It's a great time to be a senior citizen: )br>br>Only one small wish - It would be ideal if the hook could be extended by about an inch. Regrettably, life is rife with unresolved issues. disappointments by an inch Just take a look at my car's bumpers.

During a project, I switched over to. This is an excellent hook. I switched from a regular Susan Bates hook to this one during a project and was blown away by the difference. For a project, I used Unforgettable acrylic, and while the first hook worked fine, the yarn was difficult to work with- The Clover hook made a significant difference in terms of splitting, etc. Everything moved at a faster pace. In terms of ergonomics, any hook with a handle is a step up from the cheap ones, in my opinion. By the way, I'm planning on doing the same thing with the other Clover hook I bought at the same time. I am a real person who crochets for a living and does not work for the corporation. (Don't you just love it when other customers get all worked up about their suspicions? However, I am aware of the situation: It's becoming increasingly difficult to determine whether or not a product is worthwhile based on a review. This hook, on the other hand, is fantastic.

Now, aside from their toxic measuring tape (which causes birth defects), I'm a fan of Clover in general. br>br>This is my second hook from the company, and I agree that the rough edges, stodgy rubber, and a less smooth, less precise hook head that a previous reviewer mentioned are all present. br>br>The sizing is a less refined, less accurate cousin of Tulip Etimo (both Rose). Grey/copper). br>br> Despite the fact that it is brand new, the rubber amalgamate feels almost tacky. Even after a gentle baby soap wash, the stickiness persists. I've had to use a steel file to smooth out wispy rubber floaters on the seam line. br>br>It's odd, because the quality isn't even close to Clover's Amour 3. I recently purchased a 25mm hook. Is Clover waiting for factory seconds to load? br>br>However, I'm glad it doesn't interfere with functionality in any way. The hook does not snag, and the bluntness of the hook adds to its effectiveness. Unlike Tulip, this yarn will not split while you crochet. br>br>A good travel companion that is both sturdy and comfortable. budgetary:.

Boyle hooks have been my go-to crochet hooks for over 40 years. Carpal tunnel syndrome is something I'm suffering from. My hands began to swell with arthritis. To relieve the cramps in my hand caused by the all-metal hooks, I began using these hooks. This hook is simple to use. comfortable to hold, but the depth of the hook for holding the yarn is my one minor quibble. I'm used to a hook that's a little more substantial. an end that is slightly more pointed This hook is a little too shallow for me, and it took me a while to get used to it. I keep using it because the cushioned grip prevents my hands from becoming tired. Between the hook's end and the soft grip's start, there's about a pound of metal. 5”. You may not have enough space to complete some stitches depending on the size of your yarn and the pattern. Overall, I'll keep using them for my more demanding work. patterns that are longer Otherwise, I'll revert to my tried and true favorites.

Clover Soft Touch hooks have been my go-to hooks for the past 15 years, and I love them. The tapered end of the Soft Touch hooks was very comfortable for me because I usually use a pencil grip. I took a break from crocheting for a few years, but I picked it up again a few months ago and decided it was time for some new hooks. Because of the positive feedback, I decided to order one Amour hook to try out before purchasing the entire set. I expected to fall head over heels in love with it right away, but I didn't. I wasn't sure if I liked it to begin with. With a pencil grip, the hook's lack of a tapered end made it awkward, and the handle rubbed against my middle finger. I figured it would be better for someone who uses a knife grip. I was dissatisfied with the set and decided against purchasing it. br>br>I went back to my Soft Touch hooks, but I had recently bought some yarns that were prone to splitting. I switched to the Amour hook and discovered that it worked much better with these yarns because the hook is deeper (though not inline) and did a better job of grabbing the yarn in one piece. With this longer, sturdier handle, I also felt like I had more power and leverage, and I discovered that by slightly adjusting my grip, I could crochet faster and without wrist pain. That was it; the set had to be mine! I just placed my order and am looking forward to receiving the hooks! Long-term planning is what I would suggest. time crocheters, in particular, should order only one hook to begin with; this non- Although a tapered handle may not be suitable for everyone, it is worth experimenting with.
