In today's video we will talk about the types of crochet hooks I use! All of these hooks are great for those of us suffering from arthritis, carpal tunnel and hand/wrist fatigue. Whether you pencil hold or knife grip, these hooks are phenomenal and well worth the investment. Furls is a great option but just not the best option for me so I have explored others and links are below so you can check out what these artist's have to offer.

I have over 200 custom hooks ,I display them as art in my craft room,furls and Nelson and I bought some from Europe.these hooks you show they are so comfortable ,I also use an an arthritic glove on my hand .These hooks are the ferarri’s of hooks.my husband buys me these kinds of hooks for birthdays and Christmas ,I also have furls Tunisian hooks .I don’t understand why people should judge your choice of hooks.Once you use one of these wood hooks you will you will be sold .

I am imagining this collection and I bet it's so gorgeous!!! I love that you are displaying them too, I hope to do the same one day. I wish I could see them, I can look at these types of hooks all day! Every one of them is a work of art. There is something about KZfaq where people get very mad over creators using high end anything 🙄 they also get mad over yarn hauls lol SILLY I KNOW 🤣

Wow! What gorgeous hooks. I am also a pencil holder for normal hooks but when using the larger hooks >12mm I tend to use the knife hold. I have never thought that these thick hooks would be comfortable for pencil holders even though you usually use them in all your tutorials (dahhh)! So glad you made this review! Thanks.

I have two of the Nelsonwood hooks and I love the looks of them. Also they are comfortable and if I get tired holding them one way I can change and keep going. I recommend people who have problems to give them a try. Furls, to me, have failed in my needs to ease my pain.

I agree with you about the furls crochet hooks. Using the furls hooks made my shoulder pain worse--its like their harder to use. My favorites are the Clover and Tulip crochet hooks. Heads up, Furls has a very bad return set up. They say they will return their crochet hooks when in reality you will be ignored and you will never see your money again!

Those hooks are works of art. Glad to hear they work for you and don't aggravate the situation. I have wrist issues so right now any crocheting is off for the week, then I will slowly work up to 1 hour per day. I could crochet, knit and cross stitch 24/7 if i didn't get tired and make tons of mistakes.

I am coveting a set of his wood hooks with clover tips. I have one hook of his in the solid wood but I don't know if I want a whole set as I don't like Susan Bates hooks either, so I am leery to buy a whole set of the all wood hooks. I bought 6 Furls Odyssey hooks thinking I would love them but hate the inline hooks and will be selling them on. Thanks for this review.

I have been looking forward to this video for some time now and I was very happy to see it out. I have always admired your hooks. They are so beautiful. I didn’t know you had problems with your hand. I have arthritis in my left hand. I’m left handed and I know it’s because I crochet so much. I hold my crochet hooks like you do and I have also tried the knife hold but don’t find it as comfortable. I got a furls thinking it would help but found that after a bit my thumb hurt just like you described. Hooks are the tools you use everyday. You should never have to apologize for seeking the best for you regardless of the price. I will certainly check them out and start saving to get one and see if they help my hand not hurt so much. Thank you, thank you 😊 💕💕✨

I had seen Nelsonwood on Etsy and wondered if they were good, consistent hooks (besides being total eye candy). I was so glad to discover you had a review video on them! I am starting to have issues with my hook hand and I wanted to see what was out there beyond my ergonomic Clover hooks. I have never used one of these larger bodied hooks, but I want to try one out (plus I love hand-made stuff!). Good tools can make all the difference in the world between enjoying a task, and having it become absolute frustration or misery. It is funny--I was watching another KZfaqr "review" the Nelsonwood hooks, and she said she would be completely unable to use them. She bought them because she collected beautiful and interesting hooks. In practice, she is only able to use thin, inexpensive aluminum hooks because that is what her hand "wants". :)

@FiberFoxStudios 2 жыл бұрын

My pocket book wants the thin, inexpensive metal hooks too but my hands scream for bigger handles like Nelsonwood! 🤣🤣🤣 As you will see in my tutorials for 2 plus years now his hooks are the main ones I use. So I can say with certainty that they are great for hand pain, arthritis, carpal tunnel etc in addition to being total eye candy 😍😍😍🤣. I am glad you found this to be helpful, I've honestly given a lot of hooks a try and his are just the best for me. 😁

I take Susan Bates hooks and wrap them with fimo clay and bake them myself. If anybody's looking for a more cost-effective version of some of these hooks. This is work for me. I, like Courtney and unable to use hooks unless they have some with to them because my hands will begin to kill me. I'm an electrician and I already have carpal tunnel from beatin hell out of myself over the years

I recently purchased 3 crochet hooks from Too Shay. I didn’t think that I would ever be able to crochet again. I hurt my right hand from crocheting for to many Hours at a time. I recently purchased a ergonomic crochet hook with a clover tip. OMG! This particular crochet hook changed my life. Now it is not great for ever type of yarn ( like Carons simply soft), but it work’s wonderful with expensive wool yarn and pound of love. IDK How pretty a hook is. I just want to be able to crochet without any pain in my hand the next day.. How are your hooks feeling?

@FiberFoxStudios 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Shonna and welcome!!!! I hope that you can find a style that works great for you and you can crochet more! It sounds like we have almost the same issues going on so I think that a larger handle might be just the thing to help you get back to crocheting more. There is a hook handle that boye makes to put metal hooks in that is pretty inexpensive that you could try as well. I just pulled it up on Amazon www.amazon.com/dp/B004ALF72G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_KCE1G1MCD46XCZDKEMDQ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1, that's just a link so you can see what I'm talking about. 😁

Wow you have a beautiful collection of crochet hooks, hand made things are always more beautiful and should be more respectable, I can’t pay for hooks like these at least for the moment but I find it cool your collection of hooks. Before not now, I used plan aluminium/steel crochet hooks but those are so hard on the hands and painful, now I upgraded to clover amour and tulip etimo, I only use these now less cramps and hand pain, I am anther pencil holder. May be some other day I will try handmade hooks, why not. ☺️

I started with the ergonomic soft touch type hooks when I first started having problems. They do help but also watch your grip, you could be holding it tighter than you need to and that will also cause the same pain. I hope you find a hook that helps!

No one is "double jointed". This implies that you have 2 joints. You probably mean that you have hypermobility , or joints that stretch farther than normal. I am so sorry you have so much pain in the area that hinders your beautiful art. I know that must be frustrating! Your work is so beautiful.
