Your iron hook reminds me of something a fishing net creator would use to make the nets or repair them.
That is what I thought, too.
Me too!
I thought the same and thought it would have been gripped by the whole hand.
Yes, just started to tipe the same.
The first iron hook was probably used to make nets.. I lived in New Orleans and had the opportunity to watch a man on the bayou crocheting his own nets..our yarn hooks are definitely not strong enough for the rope they use
That makes a lot of sense. And it wouldn't have to be very smooth for that kind of work.
That's pretty awesome!
L’Oréal one used for streaking hair …..pulling the hair through the plastic cap …….ouch memories
If it shows grain in the metal it is wrought iron. Cool find but not very smooth to use, I imagine. You mean a railroad spike. Tyes are made of wood. It might have been used to make fly blankets in the old days. They were made mostly out of leather or cotton.
That iron hook is a trip! I'm the daughter of a welder, and my Dad could probably whip one of those up in no time, so I can't help picturing a welder making this so he can crochet gifts for his wife during his lunch break. 😁
Essentials is from literally 5 minutes up the road from me, made in lydney ( said like lid knee) xD 🇬🇧💚
The Loreal crochet hooks has me laughing. I remember doing my Mom's highlights (we called them "streaks" back then) with the one from the box, and her pulling out a smaller metal hook for me to use instead. She said the plastic one from the kit pulled her hair and was going to make her streaks too chunky. I must have spent hours with her sitting in that perforated platic shower cap as I pulled tiny wisps of hair through the holes. I wonder when they used metal and when plastic in the hair kits?
The wrought iron hook was made for fishing nets.
I am certain that hook has a very cool back story. Being 6.5mm and that length, I wonder if it served in some type of manufacturing or commercial operation.
That's what I was thinking too.
The heavy one I first thought about nets but it could also be used to weave baskets/wicker/straw stuff for chairs or other furniture that has a more coarser material that needs something strong to hold on the task. I like weaving baskets out of paper tubes and I tell you, my hands are destroyed after a while and sometimes I use plyers or pincers to help pushing and pulling the tubes. The hook wouldn't work well for paper but I can see it being useful for other materials like cord, twine or jute.
Corrina! Weren't you complaining of wrist pain just yesterday? Let that heavy hook rest! In other news, I highly doubt anyone of us would mind if you wore a wrist brace while working. RSIs are no joke, especially not on your dominant hand. 💜
I have a hand whittled cedar hook that my dad made for me many years ago. Its about a size K, Ive never actually measured it however.
My godfather was a Civil War re-enactor and I crocheted a period style scarf for him from a 5 weight wool, acrylic blend yarn with my cedar hook, trying to create a period look. The yarn was a colorway of browns, beige and black. He loved it and got many compliments on it.
I’ve got 3 L’OREAL steel hooks. Got them from hair frosting kits years ago. They make them plastic now.
When she said that, I almost laughed myself out of my chair. 😂
Interesting 😂
I wonder if the iron hook was used to crochet something other than yarn? 🧶 great video! Thanks for sharing 😊
That’s what I’m thinking.
The heavy hook reminds me of the rods that were used for electrical fencing. A plastic or porcelain piece was put at the top of the rod and the electric wire sat on it. I used to pull a few from the ground on my property.
I immediately thought it had been made for rug making. The English hook is definitely relatively new as they had a numbering system before the metric size was introduced in 70-80’s ❤️❤️👏👏🇬🇧
I don't think it's a crochet hook. I may be wrong but this is something needed to make carpets. Also fishermen often have such hooks to repair or renew their nets. Hence the massive material and weight. I'm really looking forward to the next video. Kind regards from Cologne.
Black hook very cool! I immediately thought of heavy rag rugs, or weaving fishing nets. Love every show you post. Have a great day.
Might the heavy hook be for making fishing nets? Heavy duty. Just a thought...
I was thinking the same thing
A very "manly" hook!🤣
Awesome score. You can use the homemade hook as decor. Just stick it in some pretty yarn on top of a basket of yarn.
Great idea!!!
MAN! I want one of those heavy hooks! I love the smell of metal! I used to work in a steel factory.
I’m 83, those two in packaging are not that old. I learned to crochet when I was bedridden as a child in the early 50s. My Mom taught me to make rag rugs out of old clothing. My wooden hook was made by her. I inherited a hook made of bone from her, which I have managed to break in one of my moves. I can’t use these modern large size hooks. The handles are too short. The largest rag rug was 9x6 feet made of sheets as a commission. The lady wanted it for under her dining room table.
In Germany we had crochethooks from INOX (my mother had them), Prym, Addi or KnitPro
I'm 67 and my grandfather whittled one from wood for my grandmother after they were married. One of my cousins has it to this day. I actually crocheted with it when I was around 12 years old.
That heavy hook could be like adaptive for someone who needed more weight to crochet correctly? I love hooks too. I need to get some quicksilver ones. ❤
Is the hook a Fisher man net hook 😂
I've never seen a hook like that before. Its VERY COOL!!!
TFS! Austin TX USA
I think the iron one would have been for wire.
Absolutely luv ur channel. I am bing watching it
I use Susan Bates quicksilver knitting needles circular, double pointed and straight needles. Love them.!!
I really enjoyed your video! Thank you for sharing! Where can I find the crochet hook measure?
Depending how old it is... If old enough, could it have been used to make wire bag straps/handles or wallet /watch chain? If you were poor & couldn't afford gold or silver a person could have used it to create her own out of a less expensive wire or scraps. & in those days there was no "dead soft or 1/4, 1/2 hardness" wasn't really a thing in everyday wire. Sooo I'm thinking a loveing husband or father made this so their spouse could make something similar to a more affluent Ladies. 😁 At least that's the story I see in my head when looking at that hook.😂😂
Awesome!! I love these Old books!! And your nail designs!!
I have some vintage hooks as well and there is no differents to new ones. But I know they are vintage becouse I got them from my grandma an she is already gone almost 30 years. The brand is stil available here and the hooks did not change ad all. I have so manny 3mm but I don't get the 4.25 mm hooks (or any .25) here. My hook that I am the proudest of is a handmade wooden hook size 20. Sadly I did just one projekt a couple of years ago. I used, I think in your world it is a size 4 sport waight yarn, maybe a 3 (not familiar with US yarn sizes) for a swaetter with him, only hdc, loved it...I will do one again.
The Susan Bates Quicksilver hooks are not very old. The tunisian in the dark blue packaging is from the early to mid 90s, when they were still produced in the U.S - those were excellent hooks. The smaller one in the light blue packaging is early 2000s, after they moved the production elsewhere. The quality plummeted at that time and the later hooks are awful.
Wow cool find !! Especially for 10.00 !! I've only seen 1 other utuber who is obsessed with hooks and seems to know a lot about hooks , you are very informative about them , I look forward to seeing more about them for you !! Very interesting to see the difference , I remember the L'Oreal hooks used them many times lol , love that metal hook !! ❤it
When we lived on the Fort Leavenworth army base, they had a store that sold wrought iron pieces. It was manned one or two days during the week. All the created wrought iron pieces were made by prisoners of Leavenworth in Kansas. It probably is a fisherman’s repair tool. Maybe it belonged to an artist who created an amazing art installation with it and metal wire😊😅.
The crochet hook made from a piece of welding rod is probably for rug making. I have a couple similar ones that I've found with rug frames.
My mom has carpal tunnel and can't feel lightweight things in her hands. She doesn't crochet; but if she did, she would need a heavier hook so she wouldn't drop it constantly.
I wouldn't like those. I can't stand inline hooks.
Give me a good ol'Boye anyday.
The Lorriel hooks would also be used for creating and tidying up dreadlocks in hair.
Hi Corrina! Hugs❤
I walk up at the local mall in the mornings and I found one of those tiny hooks laying in the floor...LOL It doesn't say L'Oreal on it, but it was in front of a hair/wig store, so I guessed it was used for that. I think they're also used to make locs. I brought it home with me. It's a 1.3mm.
I’ve seen something similar to that, used to lift hot trivets of wood Burning stoves. Weird😮 ☺️😉
I have a Loreal crochet hook. I use it sometimes, but it's not as good as my other ones, so I don't use it that often. It's a little more difficult pulling the yarn through.
"buff hand" 😂That was funny! Maybe a man made it for himself? I could see that as a possibility.
Your wrought iron hook is very antique one of the first ones. My great grandma had a couple. I do not know where they went , they went to my mother who probably threw them away.
Perhaps the heavy hook was used for a person that had trouble holding a lighter hook in hand? And some, husband , child , loved one created that for her
I just bought a bunch of old hooks at a garage sale. Where do you do research on old hooks?
the heavy hook is for folks that have nephropathy I have one! is solid metal!
I have a personal type question to ask you. Is there a platform I can contact you on?
Maybe it was to make wash cloths out of cotton string, or some other thick yarn.
That homemade hook looks like it was made from rebar
HaHaHa!! Frosting kits is what my mom used to get those in.
I wonder if the iron hook was to make cotton scraps into rugs?
My family only used BOYE hooks
Wonder if the iron hook was used for leather or wire work?
Might be for making nets
that's a Man hook😂
so masculine
The iron hook may be a net hook.
The loreal hooks were used for streaking hair. You pulled the hair through the cap. I got a few of those, work great
I remember streaking my hair like that. Oh, the tedium.
I'm thinking history may play a role here. I'm not aware of the entire history of crochet hook manufacture, but from the patterns here, and the hooks sometimes suggested, I'm guessing that aluminum crochet hooks didn't hit the market until the 20th century; the larger hooks were made from bone. This hook may have been made out of necessity; bone was either unavailable or not affordable, yet someone needed a larger hook for a project, perhaps a shawl or blanket of some kind. It may have been patterned after existing crochet hooks, so the head is made in a precise manner, rather than just a raw hook with no regard to any shaping. Thank you for the video, now I'm curious about the history of crochet hooks.
I never even thought about the 3mm and 7mm missing from US patterns and hook sets... how funny.
Depending on it's age, it may have been an old spoke from a wheel from a Model A car, or a piece of farm machinery. It's way too long for a railroad tie.
I live in Gloucester Gloucestershire uk xx
Hi! Hope things are warm n pleasant there. Curious... is the person involved in the development and process of Worchestershire sauce from Worceseter? Interesting way of naming things. Have a lovely Spring.
🧡 that homemade hook… although looks Heavy. Reduce reuse recycle
Thank you Corinne for sharing!! So fun to see!! Plz do more!!
Happy crocheting 🧶
what a find!
I hate aluminium hooks. They mishape too quickly in my hands. I've even broken some in the past. 🙈
Best hooks? Japanese Tulip Classics. Without grip. Never needed it.😊
Only men crocheted at first to make fishing nets for commercial fishing in the oceans in early Greek and Roman times.
