Tulip Company Tulip Etimo Crochet Hook, 10-1/2-Inch

feels good in the hand, comfortable handle. Head and neck design make for ease to create stitches and goin in and out of stitches. Size of handle and the material make this comfortable to hold and use. My hand does not get fatigued when using this hook (I have arthritis in my fingers). This brand is my favorite hook of all the ones that I have. They are much more comfortable than the Clover Amour

The best crochet hook- works smoothly and my hands don't get tired. Arrived on time.

I am new to crocheting and have been trying out different types of hooks to find my favorite. Before this I've mostly used cheap hooks. This is the first expensive hook I've bought and it is quite a difference! This hook is light, comfortable to hold, and it glides so smoothly through the yarn. It feels soooo nice to work with this hook. It's a totally different experience from the cheap hooks. I highly recommend and I will definitely be buying this hook in more sizes!!

I started crocheting about a month ago so have been looking for the right hooks for me.I prefer inline. I also tend to stitch tight.This hook is very smooth to use. Had some 'squeaking' on first few stitches in a session sometimes, but it went away--could just be me getting into a 'groove'.It is comfortable to hold. Unlike Clover Armor, the flat portion is on both sides so it is comfortable to grip with thumb and finger.Only problem I had was pulling thru 7 loops, but I suspect that is not easy with any hook. I occasionally lost the loop off the hook and had to start over--or try to recover it with a needle. Some of this problem was the tight stitches--I'm not consistent yet, so some were very easy to pull thru and some impossible.

I bought the Etimo Tulip 8-hook set and purchased this 6.5mm hook to complete it. These are without question the best hooks on the market in terms of build quality. The heads are anodized aluminum and tapered to perfection -- no rough burs or edges and symmetrical. The metal extends the length of the handle, unlike some ergonomic hooks which have been reported to crack and break off where the metal ends in mid-handle. These are not the cheapest hooks on the market, yet I'm very satisfied with my purchase. You get what you pay for in quality. Etimo Tulip crochet hooks are built to last a lifetime.As I waited for my ET 6mm hook to arrive, I bought a Boye ergonomic K crochet hook to get started on a pattern. I was very disappointed in its quality -- the metal was molded aluminum with mold lines causing rough burs inside the hook and on its very blunt tip. Using it was like shoving a log into a stitch and snagging yarn on your way out. Although its handle is wider and longer than the Etimo Tulip hook, I found this to be a non-issue when I held either of them in a knife grip. As long as you don't crochet with a death grip on the hook, you'll be fine.

Love Tulip Etimo hooks! They have flat handle & flat thumb rest that works great for my overhand saber style knife grip. They’re very comfortable & light. Hook is smooth aluminum, nice shape. It is not ‘pointy’ per se but enough taper to easily punch trough stitches. I also like Clover Amours but the thumb rest/handle on those is more round so it’s not quite as comfortable to me as Tulips! They’re the best!

I love these hooks! They slide through the yarn like "buttah" and are so comfortable to use. I originally purchased the kit and have never regretted that purchase. This fits right in 😊

It is a very good crochet brand but not my favorite.
