SOME OF MY FAVORITE HOOKS
April 4, 2007 |
These hooks are kinda hard to find. Wanted to share the site I just found them on:
Clover Soft Touch Crochet Hooks
http://crochetasylum.com/html/hooked_on_hooks.html
Clover Soft Touch also has a set of thread hooks which are wonderful. My LYS, Hearthstone Knits (hearthstoneknits.com) is the only place I know of to get them. They ordered a set for me. I LOVE them. NOTE - THE WEBSITE FOR HEARTHSTONE KNITS IS NO LONGER ACTIVE. PLEASE ACCESS THIS PAGE FOR THEIR CONTACT INFO:
http://www.balbes.com/stlshops.html.
Apparently the hearthstone knits dot com site is an inappropriate one. Sorry. Thanks to those who brought this to my attention!
There are a few free patterns at this site also. They offer free shipping on all orders which is unique and appreciated.
CrochetAsylum also offers Bates Silvalume hooks, among others, which I like since they are ‘inline’ hooks, the style I prefer. My other favorite hooks are all wood - and not the typical Brittany, Greydog, or others. I like some rosewood hooks made by different manufacturers and Jensen’s huge, finely finished, wood hooks. I’ve blogged about them before. Hope you enjoy browsing the site. ThUD.

Personally, my favorite hook is the Profi hook. I get mine at http://www.Herrschners.com. I tried the clover hooks but found the Profi hooks more comfortable to handle. I also like the way the gold tips slide through the thread. (I am a thread addict and prefer thread over yarn).
