Product Description
Customer Reviews
I was skeptical at first because of the price, but these are ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT!!!! I will be purchasing the steel set next. I hope that they come out with more products. I showed a friend that was not sure about ordering these because she tried the ones with the bigger grip that hurt her hands. These feel natural in your hand. She was sold when she held them. They guarantee their product as well, so its a Win Win either way.Funny side note, when these came to the post office, my husband had to open the box in front of the postal worker because they came from Germany, when she saw them she made a comment on how nice a product they looked too!
Recently, I purchased the 3.75 mm ADDI SWING hook and made a couple of Granny Squares. I immediately went online to order the complete set. Feels great in the hand when held “knife style.” Also, the shaft – although short – has no trouble holding 5-7 stitches of worsted weight #4 at the same time (i.e. for clusters and puffs).
I highly recommend these hooks. :0)
* Note to USA crocheters: The sizing in millimetres is actually a good system to learn. This measurement is simply the diameter of the working part of the shaft. The American “Lettering/Numbering System” is not consistent from one manufacturer to the next whereas the European/Canadian “MM System” is universal.
Loved the set of hooks and great for my arthritic hands. But be aware of two things, you may have to change how you hold the hook and thus how you crochet. And this set is through size L, 8.0, only. When I ordered I thought it was thru size P. And this is a European set, so the numbers only are listed. No letters. And shipping was ahead of schedule.
