I used to use Amour hooks but after I tried one Tulip, I fell in love. For my hands and crochet style they are perfect for me. It has taken me a few years, but I now have an (almost) complete set of my tulips. I have arthritis and as it has progressed, even the amour hooks would hurt too soon for my happiness. The tulips let me crochet just a bit longer, and as long as I want to as long as I keep the pace slower

After many years of crocheting, I only use Amour hooks and don’t even own any others. A few years ago, I needed a 3mm hook for a crochet along using fingering weight cotton and could not find one locally. I decided to try a Tulip Etimo Red which I had been hearing great things about. I found the size I needed on eBay (not cheap) and have to say that it is my favorite hook of all time. Since then, I have made several large projects with that hook, and it’s a workhorse, especially with cotton. I would love to have a whole set, but can’t justify it since the Amours are still great.

Thank you for finally reviewing these!!! - I have both the Grey/Gold & the Red set and YYYAAASSSS - I HAD to buy them because Red is my favorite color. The holder it comes in is built to last - had mine now for 2 years and they have been through hell & back and they're still rockin, no tears, nothing's coming off/broken. Hubby asked Y I have so many hooks in so many colors and shapes and I said - sometimes your tools can help inspire and motivate you. I think my hooks are sexy so therefore it makes me want to crochet more. Who else is with me???

Saw them online and though: no i already bought one hook of every size. I don't want doubles... and then I saw your video. What can I say... looks like I have doubles of certain sizes now. I had them for ca 2 weeks now and don't even want to use my usual hooks anymore because they are so much easier in my right wrist. Due to the flatter head they are easier for me to pull trough the loops which makes all the difference for me ❤

Hi all! I've had this exact set for about 2 and a half years now and have invested in the larger sizes so here's how they lasts long term! I noticed Tori was concerned on the hook sizes wearing away but for me they've shown absolutely no signs of wear, even on my 5.00mm, my most used hook, everything is still totally legible and not peeled/faded at all. The cloth case has held up well too, it has taken an indent from where I wrap the string around it but no problems with the integrity of the case at all. Also, the fact that they're red makes them WORLDS easier to find when they vanish in the middle of a project lol, I've never lost one!

I love my red Etimos - terrific visibility without any glare, and so smooth. I bought all of mine individually; the price worked out the same as the set (or better), and I got the exact sizes that I wanted (they run up to 6.5 mm). I do wish they would sell a version of the cute case but with enough room to hold the whole line. Anyway, it’s great to see the red Etimos getting some love from a discerning and talented maker! 🙂

I already had the Tulip pink set when I saw the reds. I bought one red one off of amazon and ended up not only buying the set, but purchased singles of the 5.5mm, 6mm and 6.5mm to compliment the set. The red colour helps pick up the stitches of dark yarns like black and navy and I almost always use the reds when crocheting with those dark yarns. I also love furls hooks especially for Amigurumi, but struggled to use my furls 3.5mm hook while working with Coboo yarn. The coboo was splitting so much, I was ready to give it all away….but I reached for my 3.5mm etimo red and it was perfect, and I can look forward to using coboo yarn😅. I did find that the Tulip reds had a little drag right out of the box, but I ‘polished’ the hook with a microfibre eye glass cloth and they are smooth as a hot knife through butta.

I learned of Tulips while stationed in Japan - and let me tell you - they sold out with the quickness and sometimes was hard to find! I fell in love with them there and bought them all! They even have some very tiny hooks too! Those hooks last forever and I can stay, none of the labels some off and they still look new 5+ years later!

I love love love my Etimo Tulip Red hooks. I find that I tend to reach for my Amour hooks more often but only because the handles are different colors. However, when I use my Amour hooks for extensive projects, I invariably wish I had started with the Reds. I find the handle more comfortable than the Amour because the thumb "stop" forces me to keep a consistent position on the handle. The Amour hooks start to make my thumb ache just a tiny bit because of the hard "edges" along the handle. I also like the hook head of the Reds more than the Amour. It seems like a cross between the Susan Bates and Boye heads but it really, really feels good to me.

I purchased my first Etimo (Red, 3.75mm and Rose 4mm) to test out based on another review video. I fell head over heels in love 😍with the feel while using on K&C essential cotton yarn. OMG!!! I was amazed at the difference in the flow while crocheting. I'm still fairly new at crochet and my 'go to' hooks were the Susan Bates set. I loved the Etimo so much, that I ordered my most used sizes (5mm, 5.5mm, 6.0mm, 6.5mm) in red the next day from Amazon. These will be my new 'go to' hooks. Sorry Susan, you've been designated as my back-ups.....and Boye, you're in the donation pile. 😜 Thank you Toni for your awesome, informative videos.

I bought the Etimo Rose crochet hooks, when I first started crocheting, in 2009. I bought them, one at a time. Then I bought, a complete second set, as well. I LOVE them…and the fact, they are pink, makes them the perfect crochet hooks. 🩷 I have 2mm-6mm sets. Which I don’t use, under the 3mm, unless I am crocheting with threads.

Toni, you need to do a collar with one of the premiere hook manufacturers to come up with the perfect hook set, complete with notions and cases. I wonder if the hooks might slip out of the rolled up case at the top? I chose a zippered ‘after-market’ case for my hooks just to ensure everything stayed inside, regardless of how it was picked up, but I could also be a little over-protective as I am thinking of when we move to an RV in a few of years. In that, I will need things neat and contained, so I went that way from the get go. Seriously, though, Toni…. I would be waiting with baited breath for a set of TLYC crochet hooks (and I’m betting BIG that they would be very bright and colourful) with just the right amount of slickness for the hook. 😍🥰😍

I’m surprised these have taken so long to make it to the US market (or at least into your hands!). These are my ride or die hooks- I have tried the others- clover, furls and nothing (except my BQueen hooks that you introduced me to- thank you) come anywhere close to my Tulip Etimo Reds. If I only had one set of hooks forever, and it was these ones, I would be a happy girl. In regards to the sizes, I don’t know if you can access them, but you can purchase all the additional in-between sizes individually in Australia, so I have completed my set up to a 6.5mm. As I live in Australia and extremely rarely, if ever, use anything heavier than a DK weight yarn, I don’t often reach for the larger hook sizes, but they are nice to have as an option. Thanks for your company tonight- I’m feeding my 7 week old baby when your premiere came on in the middle of the night in Australia and it was a lovely surprise! Thank you for all you do- as someone who came back to crochet as an adult after learning as a child, you are someone I recommend to anyone who wants to learn and develop their skills. Much love from Australia!

I LOVE Tulip hooks. I have a couple of the Tulip Red and the Tulip Rose, I just bought them as I was able to treat myself for a new hook here and there. I have acquired a collection of hooks but Tulip have to be my favorite followed by my Clover brand hooks. I love the Tulip Etimo Reds because red is my favorite color and I love the color of the hook itself. Also, I have had mine for a while and my label that indicates the size is still looking like it did when I bought it and I use my 5mm A LOT.

Etimo Tulips are my perfect hook. I used Boye for 30 years and kept trying various new hooks at different price points. None were comfortable or suited my hold (pen style) until I tried Etimo Tulips. Now I have the red set, the Rose pink set, and the purple steel hook lace weight set, plus the additional singles that the sets do not include, and the full set of the plastic extra large hooks too. It's the only hooks I use now and I can't imagine using anything else. They are perfection to me. They slid like a dream, are comfortable to hold for long periods, are not too bulky therefore changing the angle at my hook sits at for my pen-style hold, and even though they are not as thickly built up as other ergonomic hooks, they are built up enough that my fingers and hands feel the difference when using them over a classic Boy hook. I highly recommend them. I bought mine from Amazon. Including the single 'filler' sizes. I had trouble finding one of the extra large plastic hook sizes and found it on Etsy.

I have a set of Red and a pink set of Tulips, love both and use them all the time. I have 4 young children in my family and I use all the hook sizes in each set. Thank you for reviewing these hooks. I love them❤️

I literally JUST purchased this set today and it is wild to me that you review it just now. Etimo hooks have been my go-to. The head shape is just perfect for me. I had already purchased some of the larger sizes outside of the set, so my set actually has more hooks than it can hold lol. I don't know if you kept the storage box that came with the hooks, part of the cardboard that the hooks were set in come out of the package and have a lid that closes. So I keep the lace weight ones in that box, and will keep my larger everyday sizes in the roll-up pouch. As per usual, I am sad that they do not come in larger than a 6.5. I literally loathe that once I get to a 7mm everything goes plastic. All the plastic ones just suck imho. Another youtuber had compared the Etimo reds to the Etimo rose and the standard Etimo gray and found that the red ones weighed just a slight bit less. Which I found to be interesting information. I own most of the hook sizes I regularly use in both the red and the pink, and I find that the matte vs shiny metal dictates which hook works best. Different yarns work up smoother, sometimes too smooth, with either the red or the pink. Just my two cents. Thank you Toni for all that you do!

I had a terribly difficult bamboo yarn that split a ton and the Tulip was the only one that worked (although I didn’t try a Clover). I only have one, but it seems great.

I was so surprised that I didn’t like these. No matter what I did I couldn’t get the needle to glide with my yarn (wool, acrylic, cotton, and bamboo). I love the color so much, and maybe it’s just the ‘tism in me, but the eh eh sound while crocheting vibrated my hands weird 😂

Is it humid where you live or do you use lotion while crocheting? Both can cause the sticking when it comes to metal heads (my preference).

After seeing your review and others, I just tried a Clover Amour hook and I love it! I wanted to try Tulip, but not a fan of the brown/black and gold at all, or even the pink. When looking for my Clover on Amazon, I saw these. Red is my favorite color, so I searched and found this review to see how they compare with my new Clover hook. Thank you for all the information, you have helped me so much!

Thx for this review … I thought it was well balanced! Enough so that I’m going to seek out this set and try the look & feel in my own hand. I think I want to add it to my toolbox, but I’m taking your points into account and want to experience the shorter length and possible lump & bump hand irritation (or not). THX!

OMG, I really enjoyed your video! The suggestion made a lot of sense. I would be so tempted to purchase these, however they are a little pricey for me and my skill crochet skill level and discipline to stick with one craft through completion, but they sound pretty comfortable which Is indeed very important! Thank you so much T and God Bless!👍🥰

Agree ---love these hooks. I have the original color/copper colored hook, black handle. I use Tranesca iPen grippers I found on Amazon. These grippers go on/off easily and can be moved to different hooks. Game changer for comfort and preventing fatigue.

Love love LOVE this set. I got it for christmas in 2021 and loved them so much that my partner got me all the hook sizes I didn’t have for christmas in 2022. My most used hook is size 3 and 3.25 and mostly use it with wool or cotton, currently doing a scrap sweater with size 5 and I’m amazed how quickly it’s going 😂

I'll confess that I wanted to buy this set of hooks based on the colour alone. I have a set of Clover Amour hooks, and-no fault really in the hooks-but being a guy, my hands are a little bit bigger and it feels like I'm crocheting with toothpicks. I prefer something with more weight and heft, like my Furls Odyssey hooks. I also started out on the Boye-style hook, but as time has passed, I've been won over by the pointed, in-line heads typical of Susan Bates. However, that stunning RED of the Tulip 🌷hooks is still singing in my dreams... I may have to buy them even if I use them once in a while!

These are my absolute favorite hooks for cotton, silk, and other "slippery" yarns! These have just enough grab for easy stitching and definition, without sticking. I haven't had the splitting problem Toni mentioned above, but I'm using different yarns. I switched out my Clover Amour smaller hooks for these. I do wish the Etimo Reds came in larger sizes, but that's what Etimo Gold and Clovers are for, I guess! Highly recommended. I was able to purchase this set (authentic) for $65 on Amazon by price watching. I really enjoyed this review.
