I purchased an entire set. That way, I won't have to ever worry, whether or not, I have the right hook size.

I love those orange hooks from clover. Theyre so nice on the hands

[@PandoraBear357]

Hooks are very personal. The only real way to choose the right one is to try to match the pattern gauge. The label and pattern recommendation is a starting point. You might have to go up or down one or two sizes to match gauge.

[@christy2150]

So today I was at an art store and I bought yarn which is for 25mm hook but I got 15mm because there was another yarn that I got, but replaced.😅

What brand is the hook you're holding right before you go to the yarn label?

[@zharaireland2646]

Clover amour, if you’re referring to the metal one with the brown handle. They’re my personal favourite - I can’t use anything else now lol :)

Which supermarket is that?

[@ATYSIASWAG]

Hi I have a question where do you buy your crochet hook? Im trying to find one.

[@peanut4664]

Hobby Lobby has really good prices on hooks and needles!

[@Crafty_Breeze]

​@@peanut4664does hobby lobby have yarn too?

[@Swatichauhan0078]

Wow

[@peanut4664]

Psst!! Hobby Lobby has really cheap hooks. The most expensive hook is around $3, which are usually the huge ones. Also, Metal & Wooden hooks are better than plastic, and metal is better overall.

[@PandoraBear357]

There's no bad material. Some materials are gripper and some are slicker. If you use a slippery yarn, a wooden or plastic hook might give you an easier time than a super slick metal hook. Even amongst metal hooks, different finishes(polished, anodized, chromed) affect glide through different yarns. Personally, I find the length and shape of the hook matter most for my crocheting. I like pointy heads, sharp inline hooks, and longer overall lengths. I don't care about grips or thumb rests, because I don't hold my hook far enough back for them to matter. I actually find the flat finger rests annoying if they are too far up. Different tools made of different materials for different people and projects.
