Etimo Crochet Hook Set

Absolutely love my Tulip hooks and Etimo Red is no exception. A note about whats included in the case: scissors are not included. The little tag attached to the hook roughly translates to Please use the scissors you have. The tag is to indicate what the hook is for. (Incidentally, the hook is also a handy removable stitch marker in case you need an extra!) Two tapestry needles ARE included - they are in a paper packet tucked behind the storage box holding the majority of the hooks. Keep an eye out for them as theyre easy to miss. Of everything in the set - case, two tapestry/yarn needles, 8 hooks from sizes 1.80mm to 5.0mm, and a ruler - the only item thats just meh is the ruler. I much prefer my gauge rulers from Clover or CocoKnits, but were not purchasing this set for the ruler. The hooks themselves are stunning in person, comfortable to hold with the standard Tulip ergonomic handle (comparable to Clover, less bulky than Susan Bates IMO), and glides through a variety of yarn textures and weights. I use a knife hold and find all of my Tulip grip handles to be comfortable. Highly recommended.

Vale la pena la inversión

This is a copy of the original Tulip grey hooks. The ergonomic section is hard and the needle length is shorter than the original.

What a difference these Etimo Reds make! The red is non-reflective making it easy on the eyes when you’re working under bright task lighting for hours. The slightly tapered design makes every stitch smooth and quick. I especially love that the hook doesn’t get stuck when hooking a yarn through several stitches, making work faster. These crochet hooks are an absolute joy to use! Needless to say, I love my Etimo Reds!

I was very hesitant because of the price but they are definitely the best crochet knitting needles on the market.

I’ve used plenty of hooks, as a beginner I tried a bunch. I’ve tried all the hooks that they sell at hobby lobby, Michael’s, and Joanne’s. I’ve tried random sets from Amazon. I have to say, it’s worth it to splurge the $85 on this set. It’s made in Japan, the metal is SO smooth compared to the hundreds of other hooks I’ve tried. The shiny metal ones just aren’t cutting it. The coating on this metal is somewhat matte, and they just GLIDE across yarn so easy. Not to mention the shape of these hooks are PHENOMENAL. The tip is pointed enough to get in between tight stitches, and the hook’s curve is curved enough to hold the yarn, but rounded enough to release it. It’s the perfect combination. Not to mention the case is ADORABLE and the red color you just don’t see very often and it’s beautiful. These hooks are great, just buy them if you’re on the fence.

Love it Love it Love it

These hooks are great, and have a really thoughtful design. Red shafts are easy to see, and the grip is comfy and not too large. The head is slightly pointed and tapered, and the throat is generous enough for any yarn, even doubled ones. I hold the hooks lightly, like I was trained to hold a pencil or paintbrush, and the balance on these is perfect for me. A well-designed hook can make all the difference between trying crochet and abandoning it, and frequent crocheting, experimenting, and creating. If you have tried to crochet and didn’t like it (like I did), don’t blame yourself because it could be the hooks. These are also sold as singles so you can give them a try before you commit to a full set.

As a beginner I have started with a set of no brand (who haven’t ;) and tried a few other brands. Was hesitating on this set for a few days because of the price. I am glad I made the right decision this time. The hooks are not only pretty, they make crocheting like heaven! Very easy to hold and smooth. Trust me, you will never regret on these.

I can’t believe the difference these make from my mom’s 60 yo Boye aluminum hooks! I only just last night noticed a sore thumb after hours of crocheting. I don’t know how a simple crochet hook can make a yarn a hit or a miss. The sock yarn I was using was constantly splitting with my old hooks. These made it very rarely split!
