Susan Bates 5-1/2-Inch Bamboo Handle Silvalume Head Crochet Hook, 8mm, Silver Pink (13206-L 11)

Five Stars

For these crochet hooks in large sizes the wooden handle is just too large to comfortable hold. Now I have other ones that are smaller size hooks and the handles are just fine.

The larger handle really makes a difference. Its flattened on the end of the hook, so it feels a little different pulling the yarn than my other standard hooks, but I think its comfort makes up for the difference. I will most likely upgrade all my hooks at some point.

Works well with thick yarn I am using. Good purchase!

Love it! Good for arthritic hands.

It is easy to use!

I really like this hook. I tried it for the comfort, it worked for me. Besides I really needed another hook in this size to add to the 13 I have. ☺️

Giving all one stars because this is not the hook that was sent to me. Sent was an 8in size L hook. I ordered the 5 1/2 in hook which is either àn h or k size. Going to keep but disappointed.

Haven’t tried it yet but it looks exactly like my other smaller bamboo handle hooks so I am excited to try it out on a chunky baby blanket!

Bamboo handles are hard for me to hold on to, BUT I bought this for the deep and pointed hook, so its perfect. By pointed hook, I mean that the lip on the hook is flat and sharp (not that it would cut), but it helps me to crochet so much faster than other brands.
