Elise if the hooks drag just wash them soap and water and they’ll be smooth..There’s always a coating on them it seems to me.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thank you for sharing!! 🧶🧶🧶

[@AGULL]

Thnx 4 the tip

[@alicegaiba]

I agree. I bought a crochet hook set on Amazon and they were so hard to work with at the beginning I almost returned them. Until I figured out they had some sort of coating and that by vigorously rubbing them on my t-shirt they turned out just fine 😅

[@preciousbeautyj1043]

I clean all my crochet hooks n4 using them bcuz 99% of the time there’s always residue on them from the factory/mill. I use alcohol or polish them w/an old tshirt. Takes care of the drag.

[@SierraSadie1]

Oh my gosh! It works! I did that on some of my cheaper ones that have drag and boy did that make a difference. It left dingy on the cloth I used. They are smoother now. Thanks! 🥰

[@beverlyb5144]

I love the ladies who gave the tip of getting the coating from the factory off the crochet hooks. I LEARN SO MUCH FROM THIS CROCHET COMMUNITY!! THANK YOU 😊

[@Rika_kaiyo]

as a young crocheter, i love these. My mother doesn't trust me with more expensive items because she believes its just a phase lmfao, i have so many of the items you listed in this and the first two crochet hook you showed i actually have! they're holding up great so far and i love them, i like watching your videos in the background whenever i crochet.

[@kateybug092]

I recommend the plastic hooks to everyone, from newbie to veteran crocheters. I can rarely find them now, but I've bought them every time I find them (and I share them)

[@amandagomez923]

I wish I had learned this when I was young. I hope you have amazing crochet journey

[@debbiemac1950]

I’m so happy to see young people getting into crochet. I used to sit with my mother and her sisters and crochet afghans - granny square and ripple. I still have one I made 50 years ago.

[@snowiecat456]

I watched a video couple of days ago about people who leave criticising comments when knitters/crocheters use cheaper yarns and equipment. This video shows people shouldn't be so judgemental. You can get some really nice stuff in discount stores. Here in the UK we have Poundland, B&M Bargains and Home Bargains and I've had some really nice yarn and goodies from all three.

[@mrsshazbat805]

Yes, the Home Bargains near me has some lovely yarns ❤️

[@binkie4940]

Same! I've stocked up on lovely chunky yarn and chenille effect yarn from HB recently 😻

[@DulceN]

I wholeheartedly agree. What really matters is the craftmanship, in my opinion. I am still using my grandma’s set of thin chromed hooks that I inherited in 1985, with no issues whatsoever.

[@michaelramos869]

The metal Dollar Tree knitting needles are really worth the dollar. They're very smooth and nice to work with. Love the chenille yarn for making small amigurumi like peeps for Easter baskets.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thank you so much for sharing!! 🐥

[@AmandaSullivan-x5y]

I watched this and then watched the one from 4 months ago about things you won't be buying in 2024. I had to giggle when you were so adamant about not buying any crochet hooks this year and then you bought the ones at the dollar store! 😂

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Lol!! I have no self restraint when it comes to crochet items!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@valuchiiii]

I got this one recommended the day after I watched that one 😂

[@ginagungor]

@@EliseRoseCrochet Just count it as for science! Doing research for the rest of us. :)

[@ItzItalyTea]

The dollar tree hooks are what have helped me get into crochet due to not being able to afford other hooks. Ive had them for a year and they're my pride and joy, absolutely amazing and I haven't had any problems with them 👍✨

[@madmommy]

Could your husband do the smoothness tester on these hooks? I found that fascinating, and would also be curious if he sees a difference after a) rubbing it with a paper bag and/or b) washing with soap and water like some have suggested.

[@candyackley1255]

I thought the same thing, that machine really is prettier nifty! 😁

[@MargeConnelly]

Use wax paper to lubricate any crochet hooks or knitting needles.

[@kittea1804]

your DT has so much yarn! my DT has a good amount of the craft stuff but for yarn specifically they only ever have like, half of a small cardboard box of random skeins

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

I have heard that we have a very crafty Dollar Tree and I couldn't believe how much yarn they have now!! 🌳🧶💚

[@rileykyle]

I bought that 4.5mm metal dollar tree hook back in November and it’s held up really well! I’ve used it for several projects, and I like it a lot. It’s pretty comparable to the Clover hook I have in the same size (though I’m a cheapskate and usually prefer the basic susan bates hooks w/ a grippy lol)

[@marybethconnors4828]

Bought DT Just Chenille yesterday and really liked it. I have never worked with chenille type yarns before. I have been crocheting since I was 8 and I am 70 now. I started crocheting amigurumi about a year ago but never plushies. Yesterday was my first experience with it and I made 4 Axoloti to give away to the neighbor kids. My experience was similar to your demo when frogging and a little shedding after trimming the ends off, but was easy to work with. Can’t beat the price for small projects.

[@paulettepalmer4860]

I really like for just a few dollars, a person who is not sure if they like crochet, can try it out for barely any money! I'm a total sucker for storage containers! Thank you for bringing all these items to our attention!😊

[@Izzy-cp8yt]

Dollar tree is what finally got me to pick it up for the first time since childhood! As a kid I only learned how to chain - now I'm making all kinds of stuff!!

[@velvety2006]

or if your gonna travel, you don't need to bring your good hooks if you have a cheap one that comfy as well :3

[@barbarajohnson1572]

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

lol! I will take the warning seriously!!!! 😆

[@karentruscelli5708]

I am so afraid that after I am gone a some poor person has to go through all the knit & crochet items and accessories (not to mentionI the yarn shop I have in my bedroom) have purchased over the years is going to think I am crazy. I think it would be fun to find a young knit/crochet enthusiastic person whom I can list as the benifiary of my craft items. How fun would that be.

[@hopez6334]

[@beadsbykali]

I love your voice so much Elise ! It’s like a voice that makes me so happy idk why!! You sound like a sweet teacher ❤❤❤❤

[@maryh6696]

The plastic hooks are great for traveling. I am always dropping them between the seat of the car. No big loss. I haven't tried the metal ones yet. The color pop yarn is pretty.The magnets work well as needle minders. I glue a cute button on the top to pretty them up.

[@cherylgiscombe9042]

Hi Elise, I use both Dollar Tree hooks, and I like using them. I agree there are not enough sizes to choose from. I've been using both hooks for about 2 years and they are holding up well. I agree the plastic hooks are not ideal for working tight stiches or if you have a tight grip. I teach children to crochet and I don't recommend using the plastic hooks, though the colors are pretty. Thanks for sharing.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! Good to know your hooks have held up well! 🧶🧶🧶

[@tiffanyellis7291]

Thanks for this review of Dollar Tree crochet hooks, I've been wondering about them. My grandson(9) has expressed an interest in crochet recently. He's been trying to get his tension just right. He asked me for his own supplies. I didn't really want to give him mine but not sure if I should spend money on items from craft store or cheaper products from Dollar Tree. This was so helpful. I'll be planning a trip with him to the dollar Tree for his first hooks. Thanks , keep doing what you do❣️

[@pbnjilly2542]

This video was very helpful for me! I’m a camp counselor and I crochet on the bus when we go on field trips. My campers have been begging me to teach them, but I didn’t know where to order half decent crochet hooks for a low price. We’re ordering the first ones and the bulk order is actually perfect!

[@lindacrochet123]

I always enjoy your videos. You are so professional, yet warm and inviting!! I have learned so much from you!! The Dollar Tree near me does have a craft aisle, but not at all like yours. I will be on the hunt! Wishing you much continued success❤

[@artemis2006]

i've been crocheting about 3 years now and about a year or so ago decided to try knitting, but didnt wanna spend a bunch of money on knitting needles so i actually got some from the dollar tree and thats how i learned i liked knitting. really a great way to know if your gonna like a craft or not

[@samanthastewart7133]

Hi Elise and right now I am working on my cottage core mosaic blanket and granny squares blanket and butterfly mosaic blanket and a baby blanket and I love your channel and your videos and if you keep making videos I will keep watching them and what is your favorite crochet project to work on right now and favorite types of yarn to used when crocheting and keep up the great work on your KZbin channel and keep up the great work on your crochet projects

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thank you so much, Samantha! I'm working on a gorgeous blanket right now and I can't wait to share it!! Your projects sound so beautiful! 🦋

[@alleycaaat]

As someone who started with the Yarniss set from amazon, I love that the Dollar Tree hook has less drag 😂 I love the Just Yarn from DT, they offer such pretty colors! And the storage options from DT, obsessed! My home organization has skyrocketed since a DTopened in my town; I love the variety of options, and they have some great quality ones, all for $1.25!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

It really is pretty amazing that some local Dollar Trees have a lots of things crocheters can use! 🧶🧶🧶

[@filomenasmith3110]

YOUR Dollar tree is very well stocked with yarn. I'm in Ontario, Canada & the Dollar tree store in my area has minimal yarn one or bins. Last week I liked what I saw & tried Crafter's square twist yarn $1.50 CDN. I made a bucket hat for my 2 yr old grand daughter & I'm very happy with the soft texture. Thank you.

[@missunderstoodmal1700]

Have you tried the website? I'm not sure how the shipping situation would be for Canada. But, I am able to ship to my local store for free. I think you have to buy their yarn in groups of 4, if I remember right. The color options online are beautiful, though, since you aren't limited to what your store has.

[@debbiespain7245]

I use the cutting mat for putting on my safety eyes with the safety eye tool you demonstrated. The chalkboard stickers that’s a great idea. I’m going to try that. I haven’t been able to find the crochet hooks, I’ll be on the lookout though. God bless have a great week

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Oh that's a great way to use that mat!!! Thanks for sharing!! 👀

[@inge6280]

Looking forward to seeing how you put all those storage containers to use

[@TheCastIronChancellor]

I love the metal dollar tree crochet hooks. they are my go to for projects between G and I. I don't like the plastic ones. I also love their small circular storage containers for the backs of my safety eyes.

[@cottagekeeper1044]

I love the glass jars and lids! I Super appreciate your video! I hope you have a awesome weekend☀️

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Those are some of my favorite finds at Dollar Tree! They are thick glass and feel very sturdy!! 🧶🧶🧶

[@merpderpbatman]

I absolutely love the dollar tree metal crochet hooks, they are something i look for every time i go I've been using them for about 6 months and they are holding up really well. For the just chenille, I know it's listed as a #6 but I've found it to be closer to a #4 and works well with amigurumi using a 4mm hook

[@ASquareGranny]

We LOVE our Helix mattress! I have bone and spine metastasis so I deal with a good deal of pain; the Helix mattress is my ride or die. No matter where I am - vacation in paradise, visiting our son in Chi, family houses; I ALWAYS miss my mattress! Not even kidding! HAD to share. Benjamin isn’t the only one who is happy, lol. And the “cool” feature!!! LOVE. Also, FUN video!!! Thank you! Xxxxx ☺️🫶🏻☺️ ~ Lisa in OH

I've recently become obsessed with crocheting to your videos. Your videos are really good and makes the crochet experience a lot more enjoyable and relaxing. I started crocheting to help with my anxiety (and I love making anything and everything with anything and everything). I found your videos super early on in my crochet journey and I'm super happy I did

I have purchased quite a bit of yarn from Dollar Tree. I do like the cotton and also the tweed blend. I've not seen crochet hooks but I'll specifically look for them next trip. Thanks for all the reviews! They are very helpful!

[@Alicia_1970]

I've used the plastic ones and I liked them. They're not my first choice obviously but I was pleasantly surprised.

[@isabeldelcarcer7550]

Yes, I do. I really like the hooks from Dollar Tree and all kind of yarns too. I made shells with these products very often. But in the local store does not have all the products, they just have a few of them.

[@melissaguyer9188]

I have fallen in love with the generic hobby lobby hooks with the wood handles!!! If you have not tried them I would suggest them! They are like $2

[@harvestyarns]

I love going to Dollar Tree! I have bought some hooks, but the plastic ones broke on me because I make amigurumi. Those tight stitches need metal hooks! 😂 Lesson learned a few years ago when I started making them. I used to buy some yarns there as well, but my local store doesn't always carry them, but also, I usually need more yardage per yarn. However, sometimes I see colors that I don't find in brands I normally use so I'll grab a few. Ain't nothing wrong with Dollar Tree -- for yarns, hooks, or anything really. Thanks for making this video and sharing it with us!

[@deannthomas6142]

Another great video thank you. One of my favorite items I buy from dollar tree for my crochet is the essentials heavy duty storage bags. They come in 2 sizes L and XXL. The L size has 2 bags per box the XXL just has one per box. These bags are ziplock and have a nice handle. These are so great for holding your yarn and your crochet project as you’re working on it. I wish I could add a picture of the box but I don’t know how to do that. You can find it on the dollar tree website. I just checked the website you can buy 48 of them for$60. They can be hard at times to find them in the stores at times.

[@christielamb2894]

Hi Elise, I picked up a skein of the Just Yarn Worsted a long while ago with the intention of splitting it and making some Barbie clothes. Though I really like how it feels, I haven't put it to work yet. That's only because I kinda stopped making Barbie clothes for a bit to focus more on my sock knitting skills. I'm a big fan of notebooks too! And, I use the style you picked up for keeping track of my blood sugar numbers, insulin doses, and meal notes - like what I ate and the carb grams from food labels. I love the mini glass "cookie jar" style jars you picked up! Besides making me think of my granny's cookies, 😊 I think they'll be perfect for sorting and storing my smaller leftover yarns and your colorful yarn bobbins will look gorgeous in them too! The last crafty items I bought at Dollar Tree was a plastic, circular, 8 compartment, flip-top storage piece to put my lightbulb stitch markers in. I'm also a fan of the composition books I find at Dollar Tree. I started keeping track of my finished objects (knit and crochet) in them and I use them for project planning, genealogy notes, hook and needle inventory, yarn stash and anything else I might need them for. Lol! There's always a good use for them. Anyway, thanks for the wonderful video, Elise. You always have such great ideas and inspire me to keep creating. ✌️💜🧶

[@deslauriersmama]

I use the metal hooks ALL the time! I absolutely LOVE them... As for the dragging, it's probably the yarn. Some yarn slides like butter...

[@moniwestling5849]

I ordered the same crochet hook set on Amazon last year, as I was just starting to crochet, thinking it would be a good way to get a good assortment of sizes...I hated them! I just thought it was because I was a beginner, and didn't know what I was doing, so I feel a lot better to learn that you don't like them, either! Thank you!

[@nancyjohnson8939]

I have the 5mm metal and plastic handle hook . I have had it for a couple of years now. I love it, it's nice and smooth now . For a dollar at the time it's a good hook. I use it for traveling, if it gets lost it's not bad

[@Stormz192]

I have used the dollar store hooks for about a year and they hold up really well!

[@nancybissell945]

Thank you elise for this video i have had both the plastic and the metal hooks for a year or two from the dollar tree and I use them more than the big name brands . I take them in my car to use when away from home I keep them in a dollar tree pencil holder so I don't loose them

[@hippybecca]

I'm obsessed with the dollar tree crochet hooks they are my favorite. I actually really like that they flex and they have never broken on me even making really tight things. I use the smaller ones too. I like that they are not as slippy as metal but don't drag as bad as wood.

[@cirrus3223]

You should really try the Dollar Tree crochet kits! I've tried the little keychain ones and they're super cute! ☺

[@Vixen781]

I found my first crochet hook from Dollar Tree after not crocheting for 20 years and it was the first one you featured. It is my favorite and looks the same as when I purchased it over a year ago. I use it almost daily as I do crochet daily now after my long hiatus. I have the 5.5m. The just yarn is by Premier so it's nice didn't like the Crafty either and all the containers are so useful. Thanks❤

[@conniemarrero4737]

I've had my hook since they first started having them in the store before the price went up and it's still holding up just fine and I crochet a lot almost everyday

[@barbaracalvo6539]

Hi Elise, thank you for sharing your Dollar Tree finds with us. ❤ I used the plastic hook from Dollar Tree when I first started crocheting, but like you, I did not like that they bend. So I upgraded to the Susan Bates hooks. Since then, though, I now use hooks with a rubber grip since it's better on my hands. 😊

[@rebeccafritzinger9457]

I got lucky and in different dollar tree stores I found all the hooks. The 3 metal and the 6 plastic I keep in my car. If I lose or break then no big deal. I find when the plastic ones get a little rough I run them through my hair and thwy are good to go again. The natural oils on the scalp work great. My dollar tree isn't that great but others around my area are better so outside of my close store I found the chenille yarn and now looking forward to using it. Thank you for the informative videos and can't wait to shop for more.

[@Amtrak.taz.]

I've had the silver and blue hook. For about two years. I also hold my hook like a knive too.

[@Sakrysta]

If you do bead crafts, one of my favorite DT finds is a circular container with 6 pie-shaped sections. Each section seals with its own hinged lid, which is SO convenient!

[@leilonnihamilton8356]

Hi Elise, I have used the crochet metal hooks since they came out and they're still working fine. I wish they came in more sizes too. I like the softer handles, but my nails make indentations in them. With these harder plastic handles I don't have that problem.😊

[@suzanneausili2183]

My mother picked up all 3 of the hooks from Dollar Tree for me. I think they are about 5 yrs old. They definitely hold up and are actually my preferred hooks. I have many other hooks but tend to use these.

[@felixs_pretty_freckles]

i actually started my crochet journey with dollar tree skein and hook. not only is it budget friendly but it can also be a great way to begin if youre not sure whether or not you'd stick to it !

[@felixs_pretty_freckles]

also, the dollar tree hook is holding up amazingly. ive only been using my most recent daiso crochet hook for a few months and the metal part is already slightly sliding in and out of the rubber handle. since the dollar tree hook's handle is hard plastic, it is STUCK IN THERE!

[@Sakrysta]

I LOVE my Dollar Tree plastic hooks! I will admit, I did break a pink one once, but at that price point, I still feel like I get my money’s worth. If I have the size I need in my DT hooks, they are what I use. 🥰 DT yarn is definitely a decent value. I especially like their cotton - at least the Premier brand yarn. I’ve only ever bought one skein of Crafter’s Square, and I have yet to use it.

[@ShirleyScaff-xq1vm]

I use several of the containers for sorting beads, buttons, and other small items. I like having items sorted by type, color, sometimes weight or type. I do a number of different crafts. I appreciate your reviews and helpful hints.

[@blueheartcrochet1962]

Hello beautiful lady and thank you for an awesome video 💕 I’m a go to Dollar Tree person and use the yarns for smaller projects and plushies, plus the just yarn and chenille yarn are a premiere product at a smaller scale. A lot cheaper and more yardage on average. Right now premiere has their premiere basic chenille at $3.99 of only 112 yards versus two Dollar Tree skeins at $2.50(+tax) with 130 yards and it’s good yarn. I purchase as much chenille as possible at my local dollar trees bc one budget two more yards for my dollar and last why not. I love DOLLAR TREE 💙💕💙

[@LennyLefebvre-qb6qx]

What an excellent review. Not everyone remembers to think about how people who hold their hook and yarn differently might fare. The majority of my hooks (even ergonomic ones) are less than $3. Now I have more to hunt down! I hate plastic hooks but the bendy ones are too cute and your review sold me.

[@cynthiacazares4807]

Okay, no hooks at my Dollar Tree. There was barely any yarn. Craft area was a mess. I did get my gift bags, and one small basket to organize my table.

I've used the plastic ones before, on amigurumi as well. They aren't my favorite, due to the flimsy/overly light weight. However, I've been fairly aggressive with them, and they haven't broken yet! Perfect for travel or when you are going to an event or something and don't want to risk using your good hooks.

My favorite crochet hook I got at a Daiso at school. Chiba, Inzai area. I'm sure US Daiso also have them, however they aren't everywhere.

[@Dulnaivi]

If you combine the letter bead and paper clip, you can loop the bead onto the clip then paper clip to the project, like a stitch marker, for the hook size rememberance. Also, i didnt realize one of my favorite metal hooks was from the DT until you held up your green 4.5 from there 😂. I dont even know where i got the hook from! Likely one of my friends left it at my house or something.

I love the ergonomic hooks from Dollar Tree! I've been using mine for over a year now, and they're going strong. I just picked up some plastic hooks and a crochet kit at Dollar Tree. The kit was fun but NOT for beginners

I love the idea of using the alphabet beads to mark what size crochet hook is being used for a project! Thanks! Did you try the knitting needles from Dollar Tree? Just curious as to what you thought if you did :)

I'm curious... Did you notice if your local Dollar Tree had the Crafters Square Amigurumi kits? There appear to be six in the series of them. I bought them all, but I've only made the unicorn so far. I would be curious to see you review these.

Hi, I have one of those metal crochet hooks for a few months, and I love it. I hold my crochet needle like a pencil, and it is holding up great.
