FINALLY Replaced My Tulip Hooks…With More Tulip Hooks!

I've been using the SAME Tulip crochet hook set for almost a decade, and I'm finally getting a new Rose set. Get my thoughts on this as I make the decision to replace my trusty black and gold set, unbox the new set and report back after several weeks of use.

What has been your experience with Tulip crochet hooks? Let's help those who are on the fence about getting them! Here's my detailed guide about Tulip crochet hooks if you need more info : bit.ly/3wIS6nC

[@kaytorrence8870]

Love mine over a lot of other brands they are my go to hooks ( I could list the other brands but not sure I should 😉 )

[@JanetTweedie]

I have pink, grey, and red Tulip hooks. I LOVE THEM!! I have plenty of other styles, brands, shapes, sizes of hooks, but my Tulip hooks are my go-to. I need multiples because I can leave hooks with WIP’s. 🤷🏻‍♀️ The different metal finishes for the actual hook parts are different, and work differently with different yarns, different fibers. It’s good to have variety. 👍🏼

[@marienaailes]

Tulip are the best crochet hooks! Congratulations whit this new set! I have a pink Tulip set, all the same color even the iron is pink! Now I have bought the Tulip red ones. The come in more sizes! I bought 1.80 mm, 2 mm, 2,20 mm, 2.50 mm, 2,75 mm, 3 mm, 3,25 mm, 3.50 mm, 3.75 mm. I crochet with thinner yarns. And the are so beautiful and crochet so smooth! The are haven! The are the best I ever had! I crochet over 55 years.

[@teeb8631]

I first learned to crochet during Covid. I had to go to a different country to see family and the requirement was isolation in a hotel for 14days. I asked my Mother in law if she had any crochet stuff I could borrow to help pass the time. I learned strictly from KZbin videos. Bhooked was one of them and still is my favorite. The hooks my mother in law gave me were her mother’s. They are just the very plain very old hooks but I love them for the nostalgia. Grandmas no longer with us but her hooks seem to bring me good luck on projects and I felt I learned very easy with them. Hooks do matter and I love the unboxing video. I am going to take your advice and try the 6.5 by itself but in the black and gold if I can find it. Dirty hook handles would drive me nuts lol Happy Birthday month! Love that you treated yourself. We should all do that more often

[@bhookedcrochet]

I'm so happy to hear your story, and learn that I played a small part in it 💙 I love that you still use your grandma's hooks!

[@Itsyarntime]

I have those same black & gold hooks, they are my all time favorites. (Especially when i hold my hook in the knife position, they’re very comfortable). Now why did you have to go & show me those pink ones😅Happy Birthday, treat yourself you deserve it.😊

[@sleepingrozy]

They also recently came out with an all red version too

[@jillhoman8961]

I do not crochet ergonomically. My Irish grandmother taught me years ago and I hood my hook as if I am signing my name. The only time I can do it ergonomically is with single crochet. I don’t feel like my tension is as good the new way lol.

[@AussieCelticCrafter]

I've had the pink set for many years, and I love them. They don't discolour, but they get dirty from the oils etc. in your hands. I find they clean easily, though, with a bit of soapy water.

[@sarahzalli1474]

Okay, first, take the tassel cover off 😂 It stays nice and is so fun and cute flopping around. I also have the gray set, and I too got these because they are pink! But I love them! I just looked and I don’t see any discoloration, some scuffing on the most used but that’s it. I actually think the handles on the gray set of mine discolored and got a little waxy feeling. I would look but they are all stashed away in wips (I always keep the hook with the work so I don’t forget which one I used 😅) I got a red tulip to do a project in black yarn, loved it too, the matte red finish reduces the glare from lighting. Love them all!

[@modo.crochet]

hello! I'm about to buy these needles but I saw a video that with the tulip roses the thread gets stuck a little or doesn't slide as much as with the gray or red ones... is that happening to you? Are gray ones better than pink ones?

[@dorothymorris1680]

I just got the gray and gold hooks. I love them! Best hooks I ever used.

[@anjlkisz885]

Hey, it's my birthday month also. I showed this video to my hubby. He smiled. I think I know what I'm getting for my birthday now. Thanks B.

[@anjlkisz885]

Sad to say, I didn't get any hooks for my bday. But I was given $1000 for yarn shopping. It was pretty awesome.

[@therealnancysteele]

I love my Tulip hooks. I have the red and grey sets.

[@tammyne]

I have the grey, pink and red ones. I love mine, too. When using cotton, my Tulips are my go-to hooks.

[@karenherndon1811]

My Clover and Tulip hooks are my favorites!! Nothing else comes close for me! Thanks for this tutorial! Happy birthday!

[@sandygrogg1203]

You are so right. The pink is lovely. I have the black and gold said, and I really love the rollup get it comes in. I also have a couple of the red and several of the pink. I like them all, but I have to admit that the pinkdo kind of make me happy.😊

[@DominiqueMarieJolie]

I just got the pink set a week ago and I love them. They are a life changer and feel so smooth when crocheting compared to other hooks.

[@belantww]

I LOVE my Tulip hooks. The shaft is as smooth as glass and the handle is comfortable. Worth every penny. I also have a set of the Clover Amour hooks and love them as well. The shaft is more textured on these and they’re better for working tightly, or with smooth yarn.

[@SmilingDaisy_]

I was wondering about these vs the Clover Armour hooks which is my go to now. I haven’t tried these yet… are they that much better?

[@bhookedcrochet]

Sounds like a good video idea! I find that the Amour is a very similar crochet experience. The only big difference is the texture of the hook. Think of it like a matte piece of paper vs a shiny piece of paper. You'll probably notice the smoother finish of the Tulip coming from Amour.

[@liliasawyer7145]

I adore my red Tulip hooks. I do find that I tend to crochet tighter with them, though. Alternately, with longer handled hooks, I crochet looser. I still wouldn't give up my red Tulips for anything because they feel just that good to me. And Happy Birthday! Mine is tomorrow (3/2) 😊

[@hugettewatson2789]

The Tulips and the clovers are my best crochet hooks ❤, ever and I have many many others I always go back to my tulips and clovers. Thanks for sharing.

[@IM1LuckyWoman]

I've been using Clover pretty much since I started crocheting 6 years ago. I just ordered these hooks and I'm hoping I find them as comfortable to use as the Clovers. Since you say you love them both...I'm encouraged!

[@therealnancycarol]

Happy birthday and enjoy your new hooks! 💕💕💕

[@karinbingham5470]

I've bought several sets of my favorites. Enjoy and happy birthday!

[@MetroStitcher]

I agree! This is the best crochet hook brand. I also have the black and gold set with the pink set on my wish list for a long time. I’m sure I will pull the trigger eventually. Appreciate the review!

[@irene_f.]

These are my favorite hooks! They are wonderful and totally worth it!

[@slfinn12]

I splurged & bought them for Christmas-I absolutely love them!!❤

[@bonniedurie3050]

Happy Birthday Brittany! Glad that you bought those hooks for yourself. Thanks for the video;.

[@bhookedcrochet]

Thank you, Bonnie! So good to hear from you 😊

[@elspethmcgarey]

I have them too, and like you, I have not been able to bring myself to remove the tassel cover. 😆They really are gorgeous and my most precious crochet possession. No other hook performs as well as these for me. I have had them for over a year or so, but have not experienced the discolouration you describe, even though I crochet up to eight hours every day. My most used hook is the 3.5mm. I must admit that I'm a bit paranoid about keeping my work clean, so I regularly wash my hands throughout the day, as even hands that look clean produce small amounts of oil that can transfer onto the yarn or hook. I only use hand cream after I have finished for the day, and wash my hands thoroughly before resuming my work the next day, so perhaps consider what products you use on your hands? I haven't noticed a change in the silver part either.

[@kaytorrence8870]

Don't have the pink hooks but I LOVE my black and gold tulips I got them after watching your review of them years ago, I hope you are happy with them both :)

[@daniellea2]

I haven't tried Tulips yet but I am all about pretty tools. Form + function for the win! Enjoy your pretty hooks & happy birthday month!!

[@vadec5909]

Happy birthday and I like the Pink set too

[@EvieO1950]

Love my Tulips!! I have several of the pink and the red. ♥️

[@FindYourDivineDesign]

These are my FAVORITE hooks! Mine do get dirty so I have to wash the handles up. But other than that, I LOVE them! ❤❤

[@sandygrogg1203]

I have child size, Hands, and I love the size of the EO hooks. All three colors are an excellent choice. I also love my clover hook. The thing I love the most about the clover hooks is that they are color-coded, and I have serious vision issues, which make it hard to read sizes on the hooks. I think you can expect the pink hooks to get dirtier overtime, because of the lighter color. All you need to do is just wipe them off, and they will be just fine. I happen to love the rollup case the black and gold hook came in. It’s perfect to throw in my bag and carry wherever I go. I added the 10.5 mm hook. By the way, I loved the squares you were joining. They are so pretty. Thanks for doing this video, I hope you will continue to enjoy all your at the hooks. I have a couple of the red ones and they are nice too. You really can’t go wrong with any of them.

[@miryanacolton5674]

I love love love my pink ones. I got them when I started doing mosaic crochet as the tips are slightly pointer and the shaft smoother and glide more easier over the yarn than the Clovers ( which are my regular go to ones)

[@jessicamiller7811]

I love my pink Tulip hooks and the case makes me happy too!

[@missyskye_sea_land9424]

I can’t wait to watch your thoughts on the set. I finally bought it a few weeks ago. For now, I’m running out for sightseeing in Barcelona😬

[@user-ol2oi3qn6h]

I absolutely love my black and pink set! Worth the money.

[@christielamb2894]

Hi Brittany, I don't have any of the Tulip hooks because they're a bit more than i can afford but, I do love the look of them and almost bought a single to try. I opted for the Clover Amore hooks, buying them one or two at a time because it t was easier to fit into my budget. I love them a lot. I never got into the Furls hooks because I hold my hooks with a pencil grip and the Furls style hooks, though lovely, are way to expensive for a hook im just going to look at. Lol! Although, I have really been admiring their trays. I thik they are a wonderful idea for keeping stitch markers and other small notions coraled while in active use. But, the Tins and tin section dividers from Twice Sheared Sheep are a more practical choice for me because of function, storage and organization. Sorry, I got way too far from hooks there. I truly appreciate this informative video, Brittany. Thank you so much. ✌️💜🧶

[@maisiecat71]

I love the tulip etimo in all their colours. Haven't had issues with the pink handles discolouring. I also have a bunch of clover Amour and love them too... both equally fabulous but use them each a bit differently.

[@alisongomes684]

Beautiful hook. I have my aunts from the 30's and 40's Susan Bates hooks. I ordered from we crochet Tunisian crochet hooks yesterday because they were in sale 1/2 price. Cant wait to get then. Thaks again

[@bhookedcrochet]

Wow, that's a deal! I'm going to have to look into that 😁

[@TheSecretChateau]

I do micro crochet and can tell you that the finer gauge Tulip hooks are not worth it. I'm talking anything 1.00 mm and anything below. My go to in a hook is a 0.50 mm and a 0.75 mm and the Tulip hooks of that size have an alarming tendency to snap in two. For larger size hooks, Tulip are unbeatable, regardless of colour, but for the smaller 'lace' weight hooks, forget it. Happy birthday. I hope your special day has brought you much joy. ❤ Thank you for your channel.

[@bhookedcrochet]

Very good to know! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@candismetz5650]

What brand are the smaller hooks that you use?

[@TheSecretChateau]

@@candismetz5650 I'm afraid I can't help you in smaller gauge hook brands, as I now use vintage Australian Millford hooks that once belonged to my grandmother. Very hard to get as the company is no longer in business, but fantastic to use!

[@sk8terchick540]

What kind of yarn do you use for a hook that small? And how do you even see it 😳 I didn't even know hooks went that small 🤣

[@sussuss]

I have the pink set, a few years now, maybe 5 years. They still look great and don't discoloration much at all, for me anyway. My most treasured hooks.

[@tamrathomas7097]

Good to know!

[@sandyrinehart5566]

I love my tulip hooks, I have the pInk and red sets. Both have been used a lot for the last 2-3 years. I bought a couple odd ones and then both sets. I have not noticed a color change in any of my hook handles. Hope they stay as great as they are now. Enjoy 😊

I have the gray and gold ones that I love. The case with the pink ones looks exactly like the case that the Boye Hooks set that Walmart sells comes in! I thought they would have a different case for the price. Thank you for the great review! I love the pink too..just been holding off buying because of the price. But...its my Birthday month too so ...maybe?? Lol! Hugs from WV!

[@dejavusbadgrl]

I have both sets also. I only use Tulip. Love them. In my opinion they are the best. The only downside is that I have worn off the numbers/letters on the ones I use the most. Enjoy them!

[@maryjones1]

Thank you for doing a video on these. Recently, I did view these on Amazon, but wasn’t quite sure they were right for me. Like you, I am particular about little things, and feel I would be slightly disgruntled about the colour fading, and so quickly. 😢 However, with a little rethinking this con, it is a very small reason to dislike these comfortable and pretty coloured hooks. I just started knitting, and need some help about what are reasonably priced, good needles to buy, that are metal, single pointed, and larger in size, for making a sweater. 😊

[@bhookedcrochet]

I completely understand! I washed it up with a little hand soap and water, and it cleaned right up. I love the idea of doing a needle video too! I'll definitely put that on my list for the B.Hooked Knitting channel 👍

I have the red tulip hooks and i prefer them over my clover gold, i usualy don’t like rubberized handles but the tulip is perfekt

The Tulip Etimo crochet hooks are BY FAR my most favorite crochet hooks! I don't have the red ones. I have the grey with gold hook kind. Smooooooth as silk! I have one set. I want two more for all the projects I like having started at one time. I knit also and same goes for my needles.....i like many of the same kind that I love. I am getting rid of my Furls even. Don't like them. I have gotten rid of most all other crochet hooks in my collection.

[@monicajackson3952]

I have had my Tulip hooks since 2018 and use them exclusively. I bought the pink set after I heard your podcast discussing hooks. My only concern is for those who may large hands, the Tulips may be too short.

[@IM1LuckyWoman]

Thanks for your review. I've been using Clover Amour hooks for a few years...and I love them. BUT...they're not pink! I saw this set on another video and decided to check them out on Amazon. I think they would have gone on my Wish List instead of in my cart...except that I had enough credits built up where the money from my wallet was...$3.50. That's right...three dollars and fifty cents. How could I NOT get them when they were practically free?! (Now...I just have to hope they are as comfortable to use as the Clovers. :) )

[@robbin.s]

Interesting. My pink set handles aren’t discolored and I’ve used them a lot. I also have the black set and just got the red set a month ago. I love the Tulip hooks.

Happy belated birthday. I fell in love Tulip hooks because of you. I ended up with the black and gold, the pink and the red set. Each colour have a purpose. The red set is easy on the eyes so it's currently my favourite. Now I need suggestions for the perfect case for the black and red hooks.

[@sarahpreston4104]

Do you notice any difference other than colour choice in how they feel to use? Are the red matte ones less slippy than the silver/gold tips

I've been using the pink set for awhile. I love them. I recently picked up the black set to keep at Mom's house so I can crochet there. I like them just as much. I picked up a single red one and for some reason don't care for it as much as the pink and black. I haven't noticed any discoloration on my pink set but I always wash my hands before I sit down to crochet. Not sure if that makes a difference or not. BTW, I didn't take the plastic off the tassel on the case for quite some time so I get why you haven't taken yours off yet. LOL

[@AtTheLake91]

BHooked. Umm yes. I have three sets of light colored (rubber handled) hooks. Orange, pink, yellow, light green. ALL of them actually look kinda gross. A few years of use and they are all discolored. When I use my only brown handled J hook It’s less disturbing because it stays…brown! But your tulip set is so pretty. Yes, it will keep getting discolored, but you’ll still enjoy the pretty pink for several years. Though I’m sure 9 years will be a high limit on them looking presentable. Thanks for the review!

[@matildarei]

I do have a set of Clover Amour, and I love them so much. I’ve been tempted to buy the Etimo Rose set because they’re my favorite color: but the Clovers are just so perfect, I’m afraid I’d be wasting my money on Etimo Rose hooks because I’d just want to use my Clovers anyway.

Can't blame you there! I really love Amour hooks too, but Tulips just seemed to click a little more for me. You could always get one of the Rose hooks to try them out!

[@sheron8479]

I have both hooks. I prefer the tulip because I don’t like the plastic hooks when crocheting with acrylic yarn. It squeaks. But the Clover hooks come in larger sizes for the larger yarn, which is why i invested in them.

The gold hook change in color is present, but not offensive. If silver came through with use it would be unfortunate.

[@bettymarshall2702]

Clover and Tulip are all made in Japan. Are they made by the same company? Clover stitch markers are so superior to the usual plastic ones and their bent needles are also superior products that make crochet much more enjoyable especially for amigurumi. I know exactly what you are going through with the pink ones. Drool.
