Authentic Knitting Board, Loom Knitting Ergonomic Hook & Tool (2 pack)

These hooks are absolutely amazing! This makes using a loom so much easier! Fix your hand nicely and is so less stressful! I'm ready to buy a bunch more for friends! If you're wondering about buying these absolutely do it! There could never be a better product!

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.

Ery very comfortable in hands

Works well, it's comfortable to hold because of how thick the handle is. Hook is strong and durable; seems it's built to last long term.

Like the larger diameter handle. Easy to use. Good quality.

Much comfier grip than the skinnier handled ones. Definitely causes less pain if you’re prone to that after awhile. I so wish there were other color options, though!

I have really bad arthritic hands, can’t grip some small things. These “hooks” are good in that I can use them without a lot of extra hassle. I use a loom to make hats for my grandkids. Recommend…

These hooks are so comfortable. I am making hats for those in need. No cost to them. Appreciate I can knit for a long time.

Nice to hold with arthritic hands, but expensive

Endlich Haken zum loomknitting der sehr gut in der Hand liegt. Gerade für Menschen die ein Handicap an den Händen haben und keine normalen Stricknadeln halten können. Würde ich auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen.

Chegou rápido e os produtos KB são sempre de ótima qualidade

Estos ganchos están hechos de un material mezcla de plástico con goma sintética y se sienten "blandos" al tacto. Pero realmente no son blandos. Solo no se sienten tiezos. No me cansa tanto los dedos y mano. Pude terminar casi por completo un gorro en el mismo tiempo que antes me llevaba tejer medio gorro. Super recomendados para tejer en telar redondo.

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.
