Tulip Etimo Rose Crochet Hook, 8/5mm

I crochet since I was 12 l am 49 now. This is the best hooks brand. Ever. I have the two tulip set the pink and the brown. Tulip is the most comfortable. I really have fun to use it.

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.

Love it!Love it!Love it!

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

I bought this needle after so many good reviews. Yes, it does pull through the yarn nicely. But that is if you can grip the yarn with the practically nonexistent throat of the hook. For very very experienced crocheters only.

Smooth

I love this crochet hook!! Best that I have had!

Product ok

Easy to handle. Almost no cleaning needed

It works well. The metal hook is very smooth.
