I have carpal tunnel syndrome. I just had the release surgery 4 weeks ago. I discovered furls hooks about a year ago and it changed everything for me. I had so much pain holding a Susan Bates or even the Clover hook you showed in your video that 10 minutes of crochet was about all I could handle. I've been crocheting for almost 50 years so thos was heartbreaking to me. Then I founf Furls. I resisted because I thought they were too expensive. But once I tried my first one and found I could crochet for hours without pain, I was hooked! Lol. I now own several styles of Furls in every size, with the classic streamline as my favorite because of the extreme light weight. They fit perfectly in my hand. I fell in love with them so much I now am an Authorized Retailer for Furls hooks in my online yarn shop. They gave me back the ability to crochet again. Even in my surgery recovery I am working on your Bronwyn shawl...slowly, but I'm doing it. 😉💜

I am 84 years old. I started crocheting when I was about 10 years old. I have only used steel crochet hooks. The ones with, what I call fat handles, I do not like at all! The hooks I use all have English 00 up to14 sizes as well metric sizes stamped on them. I have multiple of all but size 5 (which are hard to find) because I was given them by my mother and her mother. I have all of their old patterns, mostly doilies some calling for size 5,. I also have lots of other patterns for knitting which I also do thanks to my grandmother who taught me to knit when I was pregnant with my oldest child. For me, crocheting and knitting are relaxing and soothing and help relieve stress. I have all sizes of aluminum hooks and needles as well as 2 very old wooden crochet hooks. I just found your videos last night. Thank you very much for all the information I am learning from them. Althea

Shalom, Last week I got one hook and immediately sat down to crochet with it. It feels great and since it's very comfortabe the work progressed faster than usual. After four hours of crocheting I had to stop for a minute and it fell of my hand to the floor - and broke. Apparently the neck is very thin, delicate and sensetive; watch out! I'm left heart broken! So ladies if you have artheritis or are very careful for not getting it, these hooks are for you. Have a wonderful crocheting year. Tamar Israeli, Jerusalem

I understood completely about your pride in not opening those boxes until you did it in front of us, and believe me, your restraint was appreciated! We got to enjoy it together for the first time!

I have issues with my right hand, and regular hooks just AREN'T cutting it for me, and I’ve had quite a few crochet related injuries lately because the hooks I have are just so small. I also have larger hands, so this was super helpful. Thank you for this review! I’m definitely sold, totally ordering one ASAP. Also you’re adorable and I definitely immediately subscribed. Happy hooking!!

So, I am obsessed in trying to decide which set I want. The swirls look so amazing but the size printing makes a big difference for me. The wood is my first choice, so mostly wood and maybe get a swirl or two for variety.

I was using a heavy egonomic 6.5mm Boye hook and my upper and hurt since. You weighting the hooks, helps me realize that the Wooden Streamlines are the way to go. I am using a 5.5mm right now, and what a difference it is. Thanks again!!!!

I love your reviews, Toni! I have recently drunk the Furls Kool-aid and purchased several hooks. I really love them all! I have the swirls all in different colors. They are excellent for my arthritis. My hands do not get tired and achy with them. I sadly broke one of them, though, when I was working on an amigurumi hippo so the stitches were tight. I must have applied a little to much torque because the throat snapped. So beware that they can be delicate in that area. I know next time to use a metal hook when doing amigurumi. I totally agree with you that they are aesthetically pleasing and that makes a difference when you are crocheting. You are trying to make beautiful things so you should be using beautiful tools! Thank you for being such a wonderful educator!!🧶💐

Never have crocheted with a wood hook, but would also love to give it a try. Definitely agree with you that pretty tools just make the crochet experience more enjoyable!

I am a small hook and yarn lover. 3 mm is my favorite. Furls don't carry them, so ordered a 3.25mm. I hook both ways, knife and pencil grip. Couldn't do it with Furls, the big round part was constantly in the way. And the Odessy is so heavy! I had cramps in my hand. I tried it but was diappointed it didn't work for me.

I was having trouble with pain in my hand. I looked into all kinds of hooks and tried most of the ones out there including Furls. I bought mine on sale and loved the way it looked but I almost sent it back when I found it awkward to crochet with. My cousin encouraged me to make a few small projects with it before giving up. I’m glad she did because I had to change my way of crocheting to use the furls but I noticed that the pain in my hand was not bothering me as much. I’m using it more now and really like it. Bonus, it looks amazing in my collection and makes me feel like I’ve gone up a notch in my crochet status. 😆

@amydavis4945 2 ай бұрын

I have had an on-going love/not love relationship with Furls hooks for years now. I have soooo many... metal tip, wood and resin. I will say that I love how doggone SMOOTHE they are. I have never ever had an issue with them slowing me down due to yarn catching or not moving smoothly over them (metal/wood/resin). Of the three materials, my favorite are the resin ones and I still love them. Unfortunately, the grip area is SO BIG that after a few hours of crocheting, it hurts my hand. I grip like a "knife" grip (not "pencil" grip style) and they are comfy for awhile, but then the bulkiness just gets to me. Soooo, when I discovered Prym hooks, they became my "all day/every day" hook because they have the long shaft like Furls, but a smaller grip (and they are in-line, which I've also come to prefer). Furls **ARE** great hooks tho, and the craftmanship alone makes them worth their pricetag (IMO).
