Authentic Knitting Board Ergonomic Knit Hook, orange, Kb4561

Absolutely fantastic to use so comfortable and easy to use while loom knitting. The thickness is great while your holding it especially if you find holding things difficult. I recommend this tool. Delivery was quick thankyou

My original hook broke. This is a great purchase even better than the original. It is well made and comfortable to work with

Lovely to hold. Bought after issues using pick supplied with loom. Makes it much easier, no rubbing.

The best knitting loom hook ever. I found the ones which came with the loom are weak and bend. This hook is chunky which takes a while to get used to, but it's so worth it.

These are absolutely brilliant if you suffer from arthritis as I do and the normal hooks hurt to use after a while. They are a bit heavier than a normal hook but so easy to grip and use that its not a problem. I would thoroughly recommend for all loom knitting lovers.

I won't use any other pick apart from these. They are so sturdy and feel so comfortable in the hand. My hand used to ache after a while when loom knitting but since I've been using this one, no more hand pain. I think when someone is starting out with the loom way of knitting, this is the best product to start with as sticks go.

But the end of it still digs into my hands. To a while to get used to, but I like the extra leverage the size gives me.

The tool is wider than my normal tools. Found it to be easy to grip. No more hand pain. More comfort.

Nice to hold with arthritic hands, but expensive

I received this a while ago and since then my loom knitting has become more enjoyable than it already is. The hooks that come with the looms are usually too thin for continuous use and my hand was getting cramps. This hook is great and the indentations on the handle make it much better to work with. I can now loom knit for 4 hours straight!

The tip is sharp and pointed which poked through the plastic package, however this is what makes it a great hook for loom knitting. For yarn that splits or separates it makes it easier for the tip to go into the groove of the loom peg and slide under the yarn keeping the yarn whole rather than splitting into smaller threads. One thing to be careful of is that because it's so pointed you'll need to watch that you don't accidentally split your yarn by putting the tip too close to the yarn before taking it off the peg, make sure you always slide it under the yarn. It also helps if you insert the tip under the thread then turn slightly before pulling the yarn over the loom peg, this helps to keep the pointy tip from catching onto your other yarn on the peg or from accidentally sliding off the hook. The handle is comfortable and helps greatly if you have arthritis, which I have along with carpel tunnel, so it lets me work on my projects longer due to my hands not hurting as much because the handle is comfortable and wide. I tend to hold the hook like a pencil but you can grip the handle with your whole hand if you want or need to knit like this since the length is also longer than the hooks that come with the loom kits. I also tend to be a tight knitter on the looms so I also like the fact that the metal part of the hook is nice and sturdy and doesn't slide, twist, or have the metal end come through the handle, which has happened with the loom hook I received in a Knifty Knitter kit. If you're worried about the pointy tip from a safety standpoint you can put a cork at the end of it or keep it in the plastic package it comes in when you're not using it. The cardboard back of the plastic package slides out so the hook can easily be put back into the package. I've used the hook with Looms from Knifty Knitter, Authentic Knitting Board, and Boye. The hook slides easily into the grooves of the pegs on all those brands. I've used the KB Ergonomic hook for a month or two now and have done a lot of socks, hats, scarves, etc with it and have no complaints about it.

Questo hook è molto più comodo di quelli che si trovano solitamente nei kit! Il manico è in gomma morbida e essendo più grossa ha un'impugnatura migliore. Quando ci sono dei passaggi dove il filo è leggermente tirato oppure si deve fare un movimento più volte questo hook è perfetto. Con gli altri a volte mi si creava una specie di calletto mentre questo essendo più ergonomico da la possibilità di impugnarlo meglio e si è anche più veloci nel lavoro!

This is exactly what I had hoped for. I have grip and strength issues and the handle is very comfortable and about twice as thick as KB's standard hook (maybe slightly more). It sits well in my smaller hands. The tip is also the same length as the standard one is, so is still very practical unlike a lot of handmade large handle hooks.
