Prym Soft Grip Aluminum, 2-6mm Crochet Hook Set, Multicolor 8 Count

I’m sure these would be great for someone else, and there isn’t anything inherently wrong with them, they just don’t work for me. I have long fingers and overall larger hands for a woman, and these hooks are just too short. I tried them because I absolutely love the plastic Prym hooks and after 2 years of daily use, my favorite plastic Prym hook started to “stick” to the yarn. I guess I wore down the smooth coating.

These move well through the yarn. They are well finished and have no burrs. They feel well made and sturdy and are lighter weight. They are lovely colors like candy colors. They use the Boye style of hook. These are a high quality product. The handles are not sticky but gentle. They are smaller hooks.

I really thought these would be better than they turned out to be the head of the hook is larger than other books of the same mm and the yarn unless bulky acrylic doesn't move easily over the hook either spend your money one time on either knit waves or clover clover being the very best there is a distinct design difference in the metal in the clover that slips easily through all yarns I tried to go cheap and I just wasted my money

Love the colors and range of sizes. Just wish they came with some sort of bag or container to hold them.

These have been really nice for both amigurumi and wearables and the price is absolutely worth it compared to buying them each individually.They’re a lot more comfortable compared to other metal crochet hooks I’ve used.I can’t speak towards longevity though, since I’ve only had them for a few months.

I am a person who wants to collect complete sets of specific brands. That's just the way I work. But what I want to mention after seeing the reviews after purchase before it arrived to me. I was worried that my yarn would split or the hooks would break. I tested the 4.5mm 5.0mm and the 6.0mm on Hobby Lobby I love cotton and Mainstays cotton yarn. Here's what I didn't like about the hooks, I have crochet on and off for 15 years. The way it slides in the yarn making your tension slower than working faster. This is really a positive thing for those who are really learning how to crochet and want a complete first set. That's who should it be marketed to. I ordered these to have on my to go hook set so I can take it with me when going out for a small project. I noticed on my set of hooks the 5mm the way it was finished in the throat (shaft) of the hook I thought it would get caught in the yarn I would use but it has not. The size is true to the comparison of their other ergonomic hooks thankfully. I will order these in the future for my students who want to learn crochet. The handle is soft but as for someone who has fibromyalgia like myself the end of the handle may bother some. If you need to put extra padding I would say go for it. Again this set is great for beginners, or as your going away set that you won't feel bad about for small projects like a wash cloth.

I learn to crochet as a little kid, But hadn't been crocheting very recently and I'm just getting back into it. It's only recently that I saw in a video that people like different types of curves to the top of the hooks... I really have no idea which type of top curve I like... I mean what the name of it is. I do know that whatever it's called it's on these hooks. They're so comfortable and easy to use, And the way they're put together, they don't hurt your hands either. That's one of the reasons I stopped crocheting. My hands would get sore...These are really comfortable!

I loved the plastic hooks, so i had to try these. The hooks head has wide cheeks, hard to pull through. avoid.
