TULIPCompany Tulip Etimo Rose Crochet Hook-Size 7.5/4.5mm, Multicolor

A crochet hook is just a crochet hook, right?But they are NOT all created equal.I have been using Bates for years - arthritis in my hands forced me to try something new- and yes- I tried the Bates with the black handle. No real difference in my hand pain level.I purchased 1 Tulip hook to try out 2 days ago.Yesterday I ordered 3 more.How are they different?1. Silicone handle with flat area to rest thumb. This makes the smaller hooks easier to hold and I can crochet longer, without pain.2. Hook is shaped a little more pointy on top. So, easier to push into stitches.3. Hook opening has a bit more metal , making the hook area slightly deeper. I don’t drop as many stitches!4. Really smooth metal. Yarn slides easily and doesn’t separate anywhere near as much as it does when I use Bates!Three times the cost; Saves my hands, the yarn and my time - I can crochet so much faster.Wish I had tried these before. I will slowly replace what I have with these.

I am a longtime crocheter. I have many hooks. I needed a replacement for a size I use often, 4.5mm. I’ve been a fan of Susan Bates bamboo-handled hooks for years, but sometimes the hook becomes detached from the base, and I’ve had little luck glueing them back in and getting them to stay intact.I wondered if there was a better, more ergonomically-designed hook that would stand up to my frequent use. I saw this Tulip hook and read the reviews. I was taken aback by the price but thought I’d try it and return it if I didn’t like it. I will not be returning this hook - in fact, I will get more in different sizes.The hook’s head is narrowed for easy stitch placement without the sharp edges I’ve had to file down on other hooks. The design of the handle is perfect - it makes the stitch flow easier and faster, with neater results. I hope the hooks don’t loosen from the base over time.If you crochet as much as I do (year-round), consider these hooks a good investment in your craft.

This crochet hook it’s really comfortable to use

I love this hook

If I could purchase all of the Tulip crochet hooks, I definitely would do so in a heartbeat. They work great, are comfortable to hold, do not catch on the yarn. I have no complaints with this hook. Go get one, you'll be hooked! (pun intended).

Love this hook. So much so I've ordered a few more hooks from tulip. The way the yarn glides is so awesome and the way I tend to hold the yarn and my hook the shortness of the hook works perfectly for my hands. Absolutely perfect no complaints and worth every penny also it showed up on time like everything I've ordered so far

Perfect size crochet hook
