@@Pitoonya yes, it's so strange that they market them as being the same just a different color. The only reason I found out that they were different is because I needed a 5.5mm hook for a baby blanket that I wanted to make for my first granddaughter ( due to be born in 10 days ) so already having some Tulips and loving them I decided to go with the Pink hook. As soon as I started using it I thought " this doesn't feel the same as my other Tulips" I'm almost done with the blanket now and will NOT be using this pink hook again!!!

I have both Clover and Tulip hooks. I absolutely adore my Tulips. I have arthritis. Tulip and Clover both comfortable to hold. The hook size print on each hook has never worn off. As I am legally blind, I can see the hook size on Tulip but not on the Clovers. I have 3 sets of Tulip. Pink, Grey Steel, Grey Gold. Also the smaller travel packs. However it is what you are used to holding. As I’ve used Tulip more then Clover, therefore I prefer Tulip.

My grandma had only steel hooks and I never learned how to crochet with them. My hand was starting to hurt after a few minutes of using them. Then I bought the Clover type of hooks (they are brandless but they look the same as Clover hooks). I tried that hard rubber/plastic ergonomic hooks and they were getting slippery after some time of crochetting. Softer rubber handles have so much better grip.

@llinewoodall3695 3 жыл бұрын

I have some steel hooks also that I use for my thread crochet projects. More than a decade ago I found these grips to put on those tiny hooks. They kind of like like miniature pool noodles and slide(very tightly) on to the hook. I'm sorry but I have no idea what they are called or if they even exist anymore, just thought someone who needs something like this to make a small hook fatter can at least know they could still be out there somewhere maybe.

It is like anything in life, you get used to a certain brand of anything and it is very hard to change to a different one even if it is a much nicer or expensive product. I have been crocheting for almost 60 years and for the last 30, it has always been a Susan Bates. I have a full set (14) of Clovers inside my craft box. I also bought sizes 8 and 9 of Furls, Tulips, Prym but I do not feel comfortable with any hook but Susan Bates.

I love my Susan Bates because of the in-line shaft and pointed tip. I'm 67 and have had Susan Bates since I was 11 yrs old. However, recently I did break over and bought a Clover set that I rarely use because I love the Bates in-line design. So I bought a set of Susan Bates hooks that have a black rubber handle, and I LOVE them!!!!!❤ A few weeks ago I invested in a set of KnitPro Zing hooks. Love them but, if you have arthritis in your fingers, don't get them. They are the most slender hooks I've ever seen. I really like them though because I tend to crochet faster with the Zing hooks. BTW, I'm a "knife grip" hook holder too.

I love my Clovers (sale for $35 US) AND my Tulips (Sale $78 US). Sometimes one works better with different yarns than the other. My Tulips are the gray ones with the gold shafts, I'm not sure if they're constructed different than the pink? Mine are not "slippery" in the grip. My size "sticker" looks new to this day. Yes, if one hook "squeaks", I will switch to the other & the squeaks will stop. HAPPY BIRTHDAY & congrats on your new hooks!

This is July 2024, I’ve had my tulips for about three years, and they still look brand new. My clovers are even older and they still look good too. These are two really good products, and I think anyone would be happy with either one.but I have to be honest and say that I seem to prefer the tulips. They are beautiful, and feel perfect in my very small hands. The big fuss for the clovers is that each size has its own color. This is valuable to me as I am., as I am legally blind. However, I will say that the white on black of the tulip is also very helpful. The pinks have black on pink, and that is good too. You just can’t lose with either one of these hooks

My favorite hook set of all time (I got my set of 8 for like $40 American) is the WeCrochet radiant crochet hook set, and they are my dream hooks, except for ONE THING: the sizes aren't printed on the hooks! No embossing/engraving (they're wood so I guess it should be wood-burned onto the hooks), no sticker, no nothing! Manufacturers take note! That one little detail goes a long way! Also, I just wanted to say, whatever makeup you're wearing in this video is absolutely perfect. You look gorgeous!

I love simple and very basic hooks with silicone grip - very cheap. I watched some videos about various hooks and a lot of people recommended clovers soft grip. I've bought (thank God ) only 3 numbers and I don't like them at all. They are not as expensive as pink tulips but still pretty expensive. I was disappointed. Finally I tried Knit Pro Waves - I love them, they are light but not too light, have perfect hook that doesn't slip, that have different colours in different numbers and they go with reasonable price. I prefer knife grip so they are perfect for me. Recently completed all set. I don't buy in sets cause I don't want to be disappointed and pay a lot at the same time :D

Hi from the UK, I bought some aluminium coloured hooks from Amazon for £5.19 & then added polymer clay handles as I found that non of the pre designed grips worked for how I hold my hooks. I hold them between my index & middle fingers in a sort of pencil grip or switch to a knife grip so my own custom made grips allow me to switch between the two & still have a comfortable hook position. Bonus being that I can have whatever designs I can dream of from retro spots to classic old school games like PAC-Man & Tetris. I've recently found your channel & your hooded cape inspired me to make a hooded wrap which I have just finished in 1 week.

I'm one of those people who get hooks from etsy. I love the hand-turned wooden ones best, they've completely changed the way I crochet. My hands never get tired anymore. The next one I order though is going to have either a clover or tulip metal shaft on top of the wooden handle so I'd be really interested to see your more in depth review of the hook part itself.

@vegangelist 2 жыл бұрын

That would be really cool. I like the idea of the custom, turned handles but I HATE crocheting with wood hooks. Even furls. I hate the drag on the hook. I actually think the tulips are VERY comfy how I hold them (a loose knife grip). They are all day comfy for me. And I can't say that about many other hooks. Not even my streamlined swirls. But if the wood handles were REALLY light weight (the weight is why I don't have Odyssey hooks), that would be a nice combo with the tulip head. Tulips are smooth as SILK. Clovers are smooth but tulips are smoother. No question. Who do you buy from on etsy that will put a custom wood handle on a tulip hook?

I am a crocheter with 60 years experience working with all kinds of hooks. I am amazed that people are buying sets of crochet hooks for 50 $ and more. I live in the Netherlands and we have an all purpose store called Zeeman. I bought ttree sets of hooks in all regular sizes for 2€ per three hooks. They are not stamped as tulips but are exactly the same. Wonderful to work with.

Jada, forgot to mention that same set of tulips that were once $200, Arnel on sold on Amazon for $99. That’s why I’m considering buying them. I love the pink key and I think the pink hooks are pretty cool.

You should try the Furls Odyssey hooks. I really love the large handles! They are my favorites, with the clovers close behind. I have one Tulip hook that I like, but once I tried the Furls I stopped using the Tulip. I prefer the wider handle, otherwise my hands hurt. Enjoy the Tulips, i’ve heard good things about them as well. Everyone’s hands are different.

@crochetcreations3232 3 жыл бұрын

The Furls Odyssey are supposedly good for people who have arthritis. Read the reviews. They are expensive but worth trying. They are returnable for any reason within a period of time, I forgot how long. But there is an adjustment period. They often have sales. I initially tried them because I prefer a metal ergonomic hook but the clover hooks are plastic from 6.5 mm and larger. I loved my clovers but not the plastic ones, so I tried the 6.5 mm tulip and then tried the Furls Odyssey. Over time I got used to it and now love it and bought many more, a few hooks at a time. However they have stickers for sizing. Some people use clear nail polish to keep the stickers on. I made labels with a label maker and that works. But it is slippery at first without a thumb deck. It takes time but I love the Furls best. When I use my Clovers they feel so thin now, although they are wonderful hooks.

To be honest, there was…for me, anyway, a definite learning curve with them. I almost returned the first one, but a friend encouraged me to give it a few days… The hook felt big, in my small hand, and the nickel plsted shaft was almost too smith. I’m glad I gave the Odyssey a chance, because I grew to love it. My Clovers are still my favorite hooks, but I also appreciate my Odysseys…That nickel plated shaft is awesome.

Do you find with multiple WIPs, that your hooks “disappear” until you finish? I have hooks all over the place, stuck in projects. It’s ridiculous! So my resolution-not New Year’s- is to finish all these WIPs before I start anything else. Of course, people will have to take a break from having babies, and the grandkids will have to quit growing, lol…

@@loriscrochetcreations8566 Love this idea. I like my hooks in the project bags themselves because we often leave the house quite quickly, and I never leave without a project bag! I even keep one in the car, but sometimes I have one I'm working on that has an earlier need by/want by date! I like being ready to go in an instant, and need a lot of variety in projects to keep my wandering mind happy! I've begun purchasing the un-branded light-up kits with 11 hook sized and often extra notions in the packs like stitch markers, yarn needles, and even a small magnifying glass. I've begun using these kits in my project bags. What a big difference! They come with wildly varying prices, so watch for your best price with the most number of hooks if you decide to purchase any of these!

I started off with boye hooks as they are the most accessible and cheapest hooks around here! My mon also has a friend who crochets and handed down some hooks of every size I could imagine to me with a very nice crochet hook bag. I now use clover hooks and I love how they feel in my hand. I would prefer them over my boye hooks, but would use a boye hook if it was a size issue. My mom also got me a crochet hook off of Etsy in my favorite size where they added a clay handle and painted it! It’s bee themed which is my favorite animal. I gotta say, I have a lot of crochet hooks!

I did not get the set on Amazon because it was very pricey & the sizes in that set were very small which I rarely use so not worth it for me. You can buy just individual red Tulip Etimo hooks on Amazon. By the way the sticker has never come off and as I said I have been using them for years. Enjoy!

I agree with you on the thumb deck of the Tulip. I am currently making a blanket using The Rose colored Tulip in 5.5mm . The thumb deck Ridge on the Rose Colored Tulips is bigger than the one on the Dark Tulips with the Gold Shaft. My thumb always creeps up and I end up rolling over my cuticle on my thumb and it ends up really sore or even cracked. I do have some of the Tulips dark color and a few clovers . I am finding ( just been using them since december 2020) That I like the Clover 6.00 and lager and I love the Tulip dark 5.5mm and Under. Something about the Tulip gold shaft is amazing. I also like Tulip dark ( not the Rose ) because the hook tips are more pointed than the Clovers in the smaller sizes . Both of these hooks have improved my crocheting skills tremendously . After not crocheting for over 20 years then coming back to it and sooooo much has changed and improved in so many way. In My Opinion if you are going to try these hooks buy one or two ( in the sizes you use most) of each and try them out first!!! You will not be dissapointed!
