I like it when you sing. It makes me smile and it makes me happy. Your videos always make my day!!!

I used to use nothing but metal hooks, then switched to Furls (metal tip) and used them for a long time. Then I discovered Prym and never dreamed I would love a plastic hook. I have NO problem crocheting with them at all with ANY type of yarn, but I don't crochet as tight as it appears you do. I'm not super "loose", but not really tight. But THEN I found the Yarnology ones at Hobby Lobby and bought the 5.5mm (because for some reason Prym does NOT make a 5.5mm) and I realized they are basically the same! I have been using Prym for about 3 years now and they don't slow me down a bit! My daughter told me about 2 months ago that she is pregnant with TRIPLETS (!!!), so over the past 5 weeks I have now crocheted 12 baby blankets using all kinds of different stitches.

Prym hooks are my favorite! I usually use large hooks with chunky/bulky yarns. They are very smooth for me! xx

I use my Prym hooks when a yarn is too slippery for my other acrylic, wood, or Furls Odyssey hooks. That little bit of grab actually helps me maintain tension.

I wish I had a hobby lobby near me. I love watching your reviews

I have only used the metal Boye hooks. Have not ventured out to other brands yet. So I enjoy seeing all the other possibilities available. Blessed day to you all. 🐦

When I first got back into crocheting, all I had was the boyd hooks, and I struggled. Then I bought a Prym hook, and the first thing I tried using it on was cotton. Bad choice. I use them on slippier yarns like velvet, and they are the Bomb!. Then I tried yarnology hooks and loved them too. My favorite hooks are the Clover hooks. I can use them on about any yarn and they seem to work the best overall. Thank you so much for all of your reviews, they really help!

I have both the Prym and Yarnology hooks and love them both. I use my Prym hooks more simply because that white shank allows me to see the stitch better, especially for the darker yarns. The 6 and 6.5 Yarnology hooks have a dark shank and you can’t see the stitches well because of that. The white of the Prym just works better!

i use prym too all sizes, i didnt like it much from the start but once i started using more i realise two things, No.1, the more you use the hook, the more it slides easily through the yarn, No.2 , ii give it a good rub with a dry smooth napkin before i start my project and it works perfectly smooth

My son got me the set of Clover Amour in the larger sizes, they are wonderful, light weight and work for all my projects so far, have RA so needed lighter hooks, and I always go up on sizes, like drapery feel...

I love my yarnolog hooks. I have all the sizes. Thanks for the comparison

I love my Prym hooks. I use metal, acrylic and plastic hooks. They work well with me

never even thought about the relationship between yarn and hook. THAT is why I like your pods!

Prym knitting needles are the BOMB. But I love my yarnology hooks.

Thank you for the review Jennifer! Have a great weekend 😊🧶

I found these BEST 4 AIRLINE TRAVEL & bring them on my carryon with yarns. I found U don't get the death stare from TSA agents compared 2 metal hooks with ergo handles.

Hey dear Jennifer! I love Pryms! I’m a Furls girl also - for sure! I don’t mind the Yarnology hooks either. I’m easy - like most hooks!

I just got sets of Prym hooks from Walmart, of all places, for really good prices. They have a set of E,G,7,H and J for $19.00 These are mm sizes 3.5,4.0,4.5,5.0 and 6.0. They have a second set of the larger hooks for 20.69. They include sizes 7mm, L,M,N and O, mm sizes 7.0, 8.0,9.0,10.0 and 12.0. My step daughter (who is 35 yrs old) wants to make herself a granny square cardigan and doesn't have the hooks I gave her when she was 12 years old and first learned to crochet. So it's going to be an early birthday present for her! I ordered them Sunday or Monday, and they are due to arrive today.

Thank you so much for the hook review. I'm pretty new to the craft and really appreciate your thoroughness.

Great review Jennifer. I love Furls, but you have inspired me to try yarnology

I have only used Boyd and Susan Bates. Thanks for the info and Good Morning everyone.

Thank you for showing these hooks! I learned a lot! Take care and stay safe!

Thanks for the information lady. I liked the way it felt

I have all three brands and I adore using my Prym with kitchen cotton yarn. Yes, there is resistance but they just seem made for each other. I love using the Yarnology with blanket yarn. Furls- for anything! LOL

I have recently bought some Yarnology hooks and they are so light and comfortable. It makes me wish I had tried them sooner. I haven't tried the Prym yet. I'm a Boye hook user so Yarnology is right up my alley. Thanks for showing off a comparable hook.

Thank you for demonstration. I love furls and tulips, I have one yarnolgy.

Thanks Jennifer, I always wondered about these hooks. Good to know about switching them up if it’s not working right. Much love 💗

I am currently using a prym hook with momenti making a poncho and I don't mind it at all. My favorite hooks will always be my clover amour set.

I love reviews. It helps me so much. As far as dog breeds go by saying"dangerous" is so ridiculous. It all depends on the owners. I have had pits before and they are so lovable if raised correctly. Thank you for your review!

I like my yarnology hooks. They are especially great when you need a longer neck on your hook.

The Yarnology hooks are my favorite. I just picked up extra on the 50% off sale. I have one Prym hook but have not used it yet. Thank you for the comparison review. 💜😁

I am glad you tried a different yarn. We don't always think about pairing specific yarns with specific hooks. 😁

I have several yarnology hooks and the are one of my favorites to use. I saw Prym at Hobbii but never gave them a try. Being that Michael's now have them and your review I will give them a try. Thanks for the review.

Love the Prym hooks. Will try the yarnology ones. Thank you.

Good morning!

Thanks for the review, Jen. I have a Prym hook in that same size that I got because I feel it works great with smaller amigurumi projects. But that is the only thing I use it on. My go-to hooks are Clovers 🍀!

Good morning Jennifer 🌞 I have some hooks like these, but I haven't found a yarn I like using them with. So far I prefer aluminum ergonomic hooks but I still have an open mind. 😆 I LOVE that first yarn you worked with, it has all my fave colors in it. Hope you have a great weekend and I look forward to Monday being the start of Premier Week!

Thank you Jennifer! 🥰

Wool Warehouse has Prym. It's one of my favorite online stores.

I’m a furls girl. But I really like the yarnology hooks. I really like using them with big yarns. I started out with 3 in a 10, 12, and 15. When they ran the sale though. I got one in every size. Cheap and great !!! Thanks for sharing!!! Have a good morning!!! .

Prym has a set of hooks with metal hooks. I love the hook you are using. I can crochet for hours without it hurting my hands.

This was a great comparison Jennifer. I love my Yarnology hooks. Laughed at the price you pay. I live in Canada and there is one store in town that sells Yarnology hooks. They are sold individually and start at $12 CAD, and go up to $18 CAD. Yes, quite expensive in comparison to what you pay. Am greatful my sister would go state side to Hobby Lobby and she bought the set. She has since become a Clover gal and passed all her Yarnology hooks to me. YAY me! Thanks again Jennifer

Hi I never tried pyrm hooks but I do have a set of yarnology hook and love them and I a Susan bates girl

Appreciate the hook review, Thank You! 🌞

Thx Jen for the review

I am a Susan Bates gal and tried a Prym because the actual hook part is very similar and it had a longer shaft than some other ergo hooks. Use both types of hook now and pick based on the yarn fiber.

I like the hook review because I will know what to look for and what not to buy. I found this video very helpful. Thank you.

Ugh, I'm watching this on Sat, 3/12, and you are talking about it being 80 there and our windchill in MI today is 0! Would love to have some of that warmth. 😊 Thanks for this review!

I have some of the pryms they work good on thicker yarns. My go to hooks are the clover . I love the larger plastic ones. I am beginning to get arthritis in my hands and like you if I stop crocheting for a few days my hands hurt I actually think crocheting exercises the hands and makes it better for arthritis. Thanks for your review.

I’m using my 4.5 prym right now with acrylic yarn on a c2c-I absolutely love it!!!! I like other hooks better for cotton though😉😀 (the Prym hooks are my only plastic hooks) I think we all have our own “hook” personalities 💕

I have Yarnology hooks and I like them. I use my clover most of time though. I’ve never used Prim hooks before. Thank you for the comparison. 💜🙏🏻

Good morning Jenn

I was waiting to see the Yarnology vs the Prym.

Thanks for the review. I went to Hobby Lobby and picked up one of the yarnology hooks!

I really needed this video

I love seeing these reviews. I have many of the cheaper metal hooks furl hooks and 3 or 4 of the ones with rubber grips on the handle.

I'm going to try out different hooks, right now I'm mainly using Boye hooks! I do love Susan Bates also. Have a great day Jennifer, and thank you! ❤😤

I just got 3 bead markers from your daughter. Time to update her site. I would have bought more but not available. Thanks for telling us! I wanted to buy more of the frog, there was only one. Like it the most! The cupcake only had one and I got the bunny for my granddaughter fir Easter. Gave it to her yesterday when I got it! Stay safe, be happy! 🧶🧣🙀

Such great info! A few years ago I went on a search for a hook that I could use for more than 10 minutes that wouldn't hurt my hand. The shape of the hooks you showed is everything for me. Hooks can be expensive so it's nice to see some more affordable options. These would be great if you're a person who likes to keep your hook with your work and have several WIPs.

Good morning! I have to say my favorite hooks are the Clover Amour hooks. I don't care for the Furls Odyssey hooks, but the Streamlined Furls are okay. I do like the Prym hooks. I haven't tried the Yarnology hooks. I also like the Tulip Red hooks. ❤️ Thank you for the review Jennifer-I love watching them! ❤️

I like the Prym hooks. I have 2 sets of them, large and small. But, I really love Furls!! I have been working on getting a whole set of them.

I used Boye for years and then ended up with a Susan Bates from some relative and I was an instant convert, like, this is what you are looking for :D

I have never used the Yarnology hooks, I have used the Prym with homespun and it worked beautifully. Many blessings 💜🙏💜

Very informative. I have only used the steel hooks

I love the idea of using the scrubby yarn to break in a new hook.

I am a Susan Bates Soft and Furls. I use them and if I find the hook or yarn is fighting me I do switch hooks. I am faster with my Bates hooks but love the Furls. I have both the resin and odyssey.

I use the same 4.5mm orange Prym hook when making cotton washcloths. I find that bamboo hooks work well w/ cotton yarns too.

I totally loooooove the yarnology hooks…I threaten bodily harm to anyone who damages one!

Interesting review thank you xx

I was the winner of both a small and large set of Prym hooks last year from the Marly Bird TOS. My immediate thought was that they reminded me of the wooden and resin Furls hooks. Prym hooks are a fine option but for me nothing can beat a Furls Odyssey. I’m hoping that one of my grandkids picks up the craft so that I can gift the underused Pryms. Great review Jennifer.

Like the hook reviews..also furls girl but I try & bring other hooks with me so no chance of breaking them. TY for review😊

I love your hook reviews. I am a Susan Bates girl, but also like Clover hooks. I hold my hook like a pencil, and that makes a difference too.

I use the prym hook for amigurami becaUse it has a very nice point on the tip. It took a while to get used to them because of the angle. But I do love them. They do have a squeak when they slide through yarn.

Hi Jennifer. I don't usually comment, but I agree 100% about the hook vs the yarn makes all the difference in the world. I bought a Prym hook (the exact one you're using, lol) to try when I ordered the Metallico yarn from Hobbii which is very slippery yarn. I loved the friction when I was making ribbing for gloves with Metallico but changed to my Clovers for the acrylic blend body of the glove. You learn something new every day, 🙂thanks for the review

I live in the UK and a friend of mine in the US kindly sent me the Yarnology hooks a couple of years ago, I like them but since I got my Furls hooks I rarely use them. I also have the Prym in 4.5mm but I find it makes my hand sore where the indentation of the size is, it’s rather annoying. Thank you for your review Jennifer xx

I have not tried a Prym or Yarnology hook but they do look really nice. May need to get one of each

I love the yarnology hooks. Actually it's my favorite. I thought about getting the prym to try it but just haven't yet. I have thought of trying a furls hook when they have mishaps or something but I haven't yet.

I now use Furls, but before that I used the Yarnology hooks. I remember them being especially grabby with cotton yarns, but quite smooth with blanket yarns. I definitely liked them better than aluminum hooks. I also have 1 Prym hook that's a 3mm. Mostly because it was the only hook I could find in a 3mm at the time and I hadn't discovered Furls yet. I liked the feel of it in my hand, but I couldn't easily use it with the Malabrigo sock yarn because it just wanted to hold onto the yarn.

I've never tried either hook but I totally agree diff hooks work best with diff yarns. My first guess was they would work best with slippery yarns. Great review, Jennifer TFS

Thank you that was very interesting.

I have the smallest prym hook, 3.0mm, and the 2 sets they offer, I love them. I recently bought some yarnology hooks, 5.5mm, 6.0mm and 6.5mm. I haven't had a chance to use them yet though.

Thanks. Good review

I have two of the Yarnology crochet hooks but have not used them yet. I also have a set of Boye Ergonomic crochet hooks, Boye aluminum hooks, and Boye acrylic hooks. I also have some crochet hooks from Dollar Tree and Dollar General.

Nice review, I haven't used any of those yet.

Never tried an ergonomic hook might have to get of those yarnology ones to give them a try.

Good review - thanks. I notice that you use the knife grip and I use the pencil grip for everything except Tunisian. I need to look around to see if I can find a pencil gripper who has reviewed these hooks. I have a complete set of the Pryms, plus a small set of knock-offs I got on Amazon. I haven't been to a HL, so have not seen the Yarnology hooks. I'll have to arrange a trip.

My favorite is the furls but I am willing to give it a try.

I really like the yarnology hooks

Thanks for sharing.

I only use Susan Bates hooks. I just do not like other hooks.I have been using them for about 55 years lol.

I use both these hooks and enjoy the length . Furl’s are bottom of my list. Yarn slips off. Thanks Jennifer

I haven't tried either hook . I have been curious about them . I hate Boye style hooks . I was a lifelong Susan Bates gal until I found Clover . Thanks for the review 💜

This was a great review. Thank you, Jennifer! You've mentioned before that you have skin issues, but I think this is the first time I've heard you mention eczema. I have eczema too, so I was wondering what your favorite lotion/cream is for your eczema. Mine is Aveeno Eczema Therapy Moisturizing Cream. I always forget how well it works until I have a bad breakout when the weather changes drastically and my hands dry up and crack like the Sahara! The relief is almost instant and my hands begin healing overnight. And (as long as I use it regularly 🙃) it keeps my hands healthy. 😊

I have Yarnology, Prym, and Clover Amour all in plastic. I also have Boyes. My favorite are the plastic. I can interchange them easily. I haven't found any grippyness on any of my plastic hooks.

I have both hooks and like them. For me, I like the Yarnology hooks especially for the price point and they have worked well for me. The only thing with the Yarnology hooks is the hook size does rub off over time.

I am a pencil holder so I have a very hard time using Furls I do not like plastic or risen hooks I love Clover soft touch and love the Clover Amores even more

Hi Jennifer I don't have any of those hooks thanks for the information how are you doing today iam doing fine today working on mine head band 😀 😊 😄

I love the Prym hooks and they are my favorite. My go-to hooks before I bought the Prym hooks were the Yarnology hooks. I have some Furls but I didn't like them. I have MS and they were too heavy for me.

I feel exactly the same about the Prym's, especially in the smaller sizes with smaller sized yarn and slippery or splitty yarns. The larger Prym's don't have as much friction as the smaller ones. I think they stop being as "grabby" at or after the 6mm J hook, but they are still very much like the Yarnology hooks in those bigger sizes. If I had to pick one or the other to keep, it would probably be the Yarnology. I love that I don't have to store them "hook down" to be able to see the colors to know the sizes. The color for the Yarnology ones are up top with the hook, so you can always see what size you are grabbing without picking them up. It was the Prym hooks that made me realize that I like this shape of hook better than Boye, and now I love the Susan Bates, too, which I didn't when I first learned to crochet, so we definitely have that in common. Thanks for another great review, Jennifer. Hugs & blessings!

My dog Carter likes to chew up my crochet 🧶 hooks too!
