Prym Ergonomics Crochet Hook Set, Small (E, G, 7, H, J)

I just received my items and Im so excited to use it. Its very smooth and i loved it.

Best crochet hooks I’ve have ever used. For the record I am not a fan of aluminum crochet hooks. My mother-in-law has grown up using aluminum crochet hooks. They are her go to! I still consider myself a beginner but I have been crocheting on and off for 3-4 years. I started with aluminum hooks. They constantly slipped while I was trying to learn and made my tension and stitches uneven. I first tried using more economical crochet hooks so I went through short aluminum with padding on the handle, long plain aluminum, cheap bamboo (which are better than aluminum) that I sanded or used hand chisels to make smoother. Then I tried some rosewood ones that have a hard resin on them and The PRYM ergonomic hooks. Even plastic hooks that were name brand did not hold up well or had a bump (where the plastic came out of a mold or an extrusion process) that yarn caught onto and broke or split the yarn. They were as consistent as the PRYM and the heavily coated rosewood hooks. PRYM crochet hooks are smooth with no processing bumps on them and longer than the rosewood ones I have! The PRYM Crochet hooks have not broken and they hold the yarn in the hook without slipping. That makes it easier for me not to miss a stitch nor have to constantly worry about my tension. Yes I still have to work on my tension and stitch making but I felt like I didn’t have the hook itself fighting against me. I love these hooks and they are cheaper than my rosewood set. So if you are starting out, go with the PRYM hooks. The only downside is if you buy the sets then you may have to take out the cardboard that gives the Letter designation and write beside the letters the millimeter for each hook. That’s what I did. I just took that little piece of cardboard out and just wrote what millimeter each hook was above where they have have letter designations. The larger set came with just a millimeters on them. The smaller set came with just the letter designations on them so that’s why I took the cardboard down and wrote the millimeters on the smaller set, but it looks like now they only sell them with the letter designation for each hook! I probably need to put the letter designation beside the millimeter of each hook onto the cardboard. If I have to ever get another set of these, especially the larger set that I purchased first, I will write the millimeters beside the letter designations. When I purchased the larger hook set hooks were listed as millimeters. Most patterns and Yarns refer to what millimeter hook you need. But some patterns may just have the letter designation on the pattern so it is best to keep the hooks in their boxes and write both designations down just in case. Hopefully this helps someone especially those who are new to crocheting and are trying to work with tension and keeping an equal stitch size. I also do not get wrist fatigue when using them! I cannot tell you how these these hooks have helped me improve and learn crochet on my own like I did through books and YouTube videos. I’m currently working on a circular potholder for my sister with bulky 100% cotton yarn! I hope this helps those like myself who needed to find the best crochet hooks for themselves!

Incrível!! Uma agulha de excelente qualidade, desliza muito bem, é leve o gancho pega a linha com muita precisão estou amando ótima aquisição💕

At first I could not stand these hooks, mostly because they were plastic, however there is more to these hooks than meets the eye. Let me backtrack…..I’ve been crocheting for over 20 years, I’m a dedicated clover, Boye, and Tulip fan through and through. However I wanted to try something that was easy on the hands, so I succumbed to the social media pressure and got me those crazy expensive Furls crochet hooks in resin and metal. I thought I hit the jackpot in owning these, however I quickly discarded them as they are heavy and sharp, plus they snagged the yarn/wool a lot. Mainly due to them being in line hooks which I have not figured out the secret to mastering these types of hooks, Susan Bates is the closest I got. Anyhow, after a couple minutes of using the furls and them not feeling to comfortable in my hands, I decided they were just beautiful to look at and nothing more. I purchased these and I had to get over the plastic aspect to them, but let me tell you, they are a dream. Long necks and handles makes the stitches glide smoothly. The handles themselves fit nicely in your hand and they don’t constantly turn and rotate like the Furls. They are more of an oval handle and not completely round. You need that so it stays flat in the palm of your hand if you are using a knife grip. They are light which causes no strain. I highly recommend these hooks, might even purchase a backup set just in case. They are perfect for whipping up with wool or acrylic yarns. I make Afghans and blankets. They are perfect!

Product arrived earlier than expected, and thumbs up for that Have yet to try out the hooks. However, when unboxing saw all the hooks have punctured through the box, as evidenced by the holes on top of the flap. I think Prym should seriously think about improving their packaging as this may cause scratches or damage to the hook tips, which may affect the yarn. Had to remove the hook tips from the holes before I could remove the individual hook. If the hook splits my yarn, may I request for replacement?

Muy lindos y fáciles de manejar!
