Tulip Etimo Rose Crochet Hook, 8/5mm

love the weight and feel of this hook but the metal part is a little short for me.

I absolutely love this hook and I cant believe I even considered returning it. Its very comfortable and sooooo smooth!! Ive tried EpicBelle ergonomic hooks (which have the cushion on the handle), Susan Bates aluminum and crystalites acryclic hooks, The Crochet Dudes aluminum hooks and Boye aluminum hooks (all with no cushion/ergonomic handles). I didnt think I would like hooks with cushioned handles after my experience with EpicBelles, especially because the shafts of those hooks were so short and it took me a while to get used to. But I was really curious about Tulips Etimo Rose line so I ordered this one. Initially, Id packed this hook up to return because it didnt seem to work well for me. Boy was I wrong! I sat down to try it again and now I cant put it down! I have not been able to work this fast and this well with any of the other hooks. The yarn goes over this hook so smoothly, its crazy! I get my projects done is much less time. I usually feel a little pain or slight cramping in my hands when I work with other hooks, but never with this one. Ive been using this for two weeks and I have not found any cons! I have to point out that Im still relatively new to crocheting. I learned the basic chain when I was 8 (23 years ago) and I chained my little heart out for about a year or two and I just picked it back up a couple months ago; so I cant say that there arent better hooks out there. Someone with way more experience may know what to look for and what may be better, but for me so far, it doesnt get any better than this and I definitely think theyre worth a try. I havent been able to find these in my local craft stores (Jo Ann, Michaels, A.C. Moore and Hobby Lobby). Jo Ann has them online, but I always prefer Amazon if Im ordering online because their shipping and returning processes are so quick and easy.

I wanted to try this hook to see if I liked it. I liked it so much that I just ordered the 10 hook set. I can’t wait for it to get here.

my favorite type of hook. Well worth the cost.

I have been using Tulip Etimo crochet hooks since 2010. I have the gray set, pink set and the red set. They are the most comfortable hooks I have used in my lifetime. I can crochet longer without my arthritis hurting me. These are a huge investment in hand and wrist health. I would highly recommend these to anyone who loves to crochet.

Absolutely love this hook, would purchase again

I love the Tulip Etimo crochet hooks. They are very comfortable, which is important for me since I have had several surgeries on both of my hands for thumb joint arthritis and also carpal tunnel on both hands. I would have to give up this hobby if I didnt have these hooks. I have several sets. Theyre expensive but really worth it as they save your hands and prevent pain from pro-longed use. I have tried Clover Amore and they are OK but the yarn doesnt glide as smoothly as when I use the Tulip Etimos. Im so glad I found these!

Overpriced. Nice to work with, though.

Best crochet hook I have ever found!!

These are my favorite hooks, I try to use them any chance I get. They are soft, and comfortable. I do like purchasing them separately so I don’t end up with sizes I won’t use and it’s cheaper this way. rather than spending over $100 for 5 hooks.
