Ok, so, here is my plight. I have been really getting in to the whole Tunisian crochet theme lately but I only had one Tunisian hook…a very short not very cool hook. At first I was extremely skeptical about ordering this set $53 is a lot to spend for normal crochet hooks, but that’s the thing they aren’t normal. They are so much better than normal they beat normal’s behind any day everyday all day long. They are made of such a nice quality of wood that the hooks just glide with the yarn to make a wonderfully luxurious fabric. I would buy this again in a heartbeat and usually when I write reviews I point every flaw out. Nope don’t have any for you…not this time.

I ordered one of the hooks to try, and I loved it, had to go back and order more sizes. I am working on my third sweater made in tunisian, and the hooks work great. Very smooth, slides through yarn great, easy on hands. The only thing I can say negative would be that after finishing my second sweater, the size information on the hook was just about gone, but since they are color coded for size I can still find the right hook easy enough. Also they have an inline head so it will fit in a needle gauge to check size. Now if they would just make one with a hook on both ends, that would be sweet. I like to do sleeves in the round which requires a double ended hook. You can still work in the round with these if you have the longest cord, just use the magic loop method (video on YouTube). I would highly recommend these hooks to anyone, beginner or pro, you will love them.

I’m not new to crochet, but I am new to Tunisian stitches. I recently purchased 2 metal Tunisian hooks and have really gotten into this stitch. I decided to invest in this pack because I wanted to be able to adjust the size of the hook. I think I would give these 5 stars if the wood hook section was longer, say about 3 inches longer. I understand another persons comment about feeling like you are going to break the hooks. Other than that, these are excellent! The wood is very smooth. I like that the connectors are metal. The pouch keeps it all together and I can use whatever hook size I want with whatever cord length I want. I feel like I can make anything now…well anything using up to an 8mm hook size.
Update: From another comment, I decided to make labels to insert behind each hook. This way if the sizes wear off the hook, it won’t matter. I’ll still know.
