    I’m a knitter and recently started dabbling in Tunisian crochet. Love the woven look and like changing it up a bit. For me I really like the knitters pride dreams knitting needles and crochet hooks, I already have the cords and am finding I would rarely use a small Tunisian crochet hook size. I am also a Susan bates hook user from way back, having started out crocheting as a child with my Aunt teaching me when I was very young. as I progressed to knitting later in life, I got out of the crochet mode. Having found Tunisian crochet has renewed my love for needle crafts and your videos are such a pleasure. Thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos.

    @kristincampbell8016 3 года назад +44

    I am so glad that you talk about Susan Bates. Those are the style of hooks that I love too, and I wish more places had similar styles. I feel like I can really trust your recommendations because we speak the same language. Thank you so much.

    Came here from your recent interchangeable crochet hook video. I think one of the biggest things that was not mentioned for the Chiaogoo set is that the ENTIRE Chiaogoo line is interchangeable, including the knitting needles. So if you have a knitting needle set, the cables and accessories can also be used with the crochet hooks. Chiaogoo does make a cord to fit the larger sizes without an adapter but why it wasn't included is beyond me. Chiaogoo also makes the SPIN cables that rotate freely inside the connector like the Tulips. Not to mention that you can buy individual hooks or needles AND cables to add on to the set, which is a big selling point for me since I already own the knitting needles and can use the same cables/connectors/end stoppers and accessories for those too. Plus the price often dips below $100 on Amazon. If I were looking for a crochet hook set, I'd be more inclined to save up for the pricier option that acts as an extension of what I already own rather than having a completely separate system.
    Having said all that, the Denise hooks look like a really great option that is more budget friendly but I just hate the look of them. The plastic makes it look really cheap and I hate that 90s VHS look the holder has.
    Thank you for your thoughts and opinions on this video, it's really informative and has tons of great options 💛

    Thank you for sharing. I purchased the Denice hooks about two years ago based on your video. They are still my favorites, however, I really wish the would make a longer hook set. I would buy them immediately.

    Thank you for all the good information. I made my first Tunisian project in 1969, a baby blanket. I didn't know about blocking projects. I had 4 panels that went together. I never saw another Tunisian pattern until a few years ago. I like Tunisian so I will be thinking more about trying some. I like to make garments and saw a cardigan I like. 😊

    I am definitely getting some of those corded bamboo hooks asap. I was gifted a fixed hook and watched your videos on how to and I am loving it. It really does combine the best of knitting and crochet! Thank you for all of your teaching videos. They are easy to follow, especially for me since I am a lefty.

  • @linphillips8331
    @linphillips8331 4 года назад +8

    Yayyy! I bought the Denise Interchangeable Set for my birthday last November, based on your recommendation. I do enjoy them very much and they've become my favorite crochet hooks, period. 😊
    Having used interchangeable knitting needles in the past that require a key to tighten, I know that I do not like those, as they've come loose while I'm working.
    Also, I can't use those pretty wooden hooks because a feline kid might take a liking to them: one crunch, and they're done for. 😬

  • @lauriepfantz6293
    @lauriepfantz6293 4 года назад +10

    I found a Denise set on Amazon that has two each of 10 different sizes of hooks with cords and stoppers. About $75. Double ended crochet hooks! Love them.

  • @janiceshepherd4873
    @janiceshepherd4873 4 года назад +6

    Another big plus for Denise is the ability to put a hook on each end of the cord so you can use it for double-ended crochet! They are wonderful. I too would like them to be longer. I have tried all the other hooks and agree 100% with your assessments. Very nice review.

  • @viviancrosby9808
    @viviancrosby9808 4 года назад +14

    I found the tulips set at Michael's for that price but I was lucky to have a 50 percent off coupon. I love them only thing is that it didn't come in a case like that or have the other extra items.

  • @dougphilips8807
    @dougphilips8807 4 года назад +12

    I also love the Bates style hooks and Denise set!
    I agree they are short, also wish they we’re longer but the ease of use, price point, mix’n’match parts, weight, and warmth are hard to beat.
    Thankyou for the review, it is really nice to have the comparison.
    I would also add that the hooks have the right amount of glide for all the different fibers I have tried.

    • @linphillips8331
      @linphillips8331 4 года назад +3

      I agree that the Denise resin is my favorite material for a hook, not too slick but just right. Plus they feel nice to the touch.

  • @lmundi6446
    @lmundi6446 Год назад

    I will have to get by with what I have. I do have lots of hooks in all sizes that I inherited from my mom. Those prices are well over my budget. But I will make do with what I can. I am fortunate my mom left me everything to do with sewing, crocheting cooking, baking. She did it all. Even made wedding gowns and my dolls were the best dressed dolls I the world. She even made a flight stewardess outfit!. Thank you Toni

    @dianamay6017 3 года назад +2

    Hi Toni, thanks so much for posting this. Ive been practicing Tunisian crochet with a long steel Tunisian
    crochet hook but it’s been heavy and making my hands hurt, so I thought it was something I couldn’t do. After watching this I bought a wooden hook with a cord and it’s bloomin marvellous.

  • @lindasnider7895

  • @jalexoneschanel1356
    @jalexoneschanel1356 3 года назад +3

    I think the knitters' pride ones are made of birch, as they have other lines of hooks that are really similar that are made of birch. They've got a pretty good value line of hooks called Swift that are polished birch and they're really great. I absolutely love knitters' pride as a brand as it is. I fell in love with their karbonz needles and the square nickel needles, so when I found out they made crochet tools as well I was super excited. I've never been disappointed by them. I thin the very first tunisian hook I ever bought was a knitters' pride interchangeable and I loved it. I've since lost it and am really really sad.
    ps. Also a susan bates fan myself. I'm prone to carpal and cubital tunnel so I like the more ergonomic hooks that that brand sells.

    LOVE the Denise set ❤
    I was watching this video and hoping the Denise set would be included. Happy to see that it's your favorite too. I ordered my set maybe 10 years ago directly from Denise to Norway 🇧🇻 (I have the big set). I bought some of the hook sizes loose too so I could do the double tunisian. I also have the Denise knitters set. Love them both. My 15 year old daughter is using the knitters set and I showed her that she could use a slightly smaller size in the left hand when knitting round so the stitches slide off more easily (eg size 6mm in the right hand and size 5/5.5mm on the left).

    I myself have gotten the Addi click. The cords and stoppers are still sold separately. I am still waiting for my stoppers. I hope to get them in this week. They're coming from Germany. I have used one of the hooks for a project I just finished. one of the things I like about the Addi hooks are that they can be used for traditional crochet as well as Tunisian. Very happy with my choice.😁

    I have that Denise set in multicolor. I love these! I had so many reservations about plastic (tried some cheapo acrylic hooks in the day) but they are sooooo smooth AND sturdy. I also love having the ability to break down the cord easily when I'm on the go and between rows. Made many washcloths and a throw blanket with them and I am still very happy. No issues with the cord accidentally coming off mid row.

It was fun but I wasn’t super into it until I came across your Tunisian crochet videos and decide to buy a cheap hook to give it a try. Thank god i go back to work this week because I am now obsessed and will need the paycheck to buy yarn! The Denise set is on my birthday list, assuming I have the patience to wait until October instead of just going out to buy it myself sooner. I look forward to all your future videos!

    I agree 100%! After looking at all of the sets available, I chose to get Denise Love2Crochet set and also ordered the extended cord collection set. I love them! They were a little pricey but are definitely worth it. I just finished my first tunisian crochet blanket utilizing this set's 52"long cord. (my blanket is 52"wide x 66"long). I'm super happy with how it turned out.

    I bought a "Denise in a Della Q" set directly from the Denise website about a year ago (based in part upon your earlier review of the Denise interchangeable hooks), when they were having a special sale on their "seconds & irregulars". (I think my "Denise in a Della Q" set was marked down from $70 to $56, and they had the coordinating notions pouches on sale, too.) I haven't actually used my Denise hooks yet, but I have used those Della Q notions pouches (filled with Denise crochet notions, plus my other small supplies) several times. The Della Q roll-up pouch is very compact (about the same size as a roll-up pouch for regular crochet hooks, but still holds all the same hooks, cords, end caps, etc. as Denise's "clamshell" case, and it's gorgeous!
    I do also own both the bamboo fixed Tunisian hooks and corded Tunisian hooks you recommended (and have used the fixed Tunisians for a few projects), as well as some aluminum fixed and double-ended Tunisian hooks (some Susan Bates, some from a cheap set I found on Amazon). A Ravelry acquaintance made me a roll-up pouch for my fixed Tunisians as part of a yarn swap a couple of years ago (basically the same as a roll-up pouch for knitting needles), and it's a sturdy thing, with room enough in each slot to hold multiple Tunisian hooks of the same size (which can easily happen, once one has bamboo + aluminum + double-ended Tunisian hooks in most sizes!).

    @aileenmiles1693 2 года назад

    I jumped right into Tunisian crochet (thanks to you making it look so easy!) and got the Knitters Pride set in bamboo (which has a nicer case than the wood ones you reviewed), largely because it was the cheapest set. I mostly love it. I'm a Susan Bates partisan as well, so the pointy hook heads are nice, though I kinda wish it was a little smoother like the shaft of the hook. All the other sets are on my wish list (I have ordered one of the small Denise-to-Go sets to try).
    This is my favorite crochet channel. You have a really great voice, your product reviews are so helpful, and I you're an excellent teacher. You are now one of only 3 crochet designers that I follow. Can't wait to see your book!

    Thanks for the review and tips. Your tunisian projects are lovely; lovely enough to make me want to go down another 🐇 hole. So much fun!

    New to the channel and learning Tunisian crochet along with being a 32+ year knitter and really enjoying it. Thanks, Toni for your wonderful videos!
    I find it amazing that the "keys" in the ChiaoGoo set are just dressmaker T pins!!! I suppose they'd be easy to replace if you lost them! :)

    The Tulip set looks really nice! My Hiya Hiya needle set has the swiveled cords, and I love them.

    Hi Toni. I wanted to get a set of the Denise hooks for Christmas but changed my mind. This review of your top five is very helpful. Thank you!

    Thanks for this! I ordered Dreamz and I can’t wait to get them. They came highly recommended and fit my budget. At least I know what to expect.

    After watching this video (I've been planning to learn Tunisian Crochet), I found a Denise Colorful set on eBay. It is in like-new condition and I spent about $40. Not too shabby! Thanks for the advice! You are WONDERFUL!

    I agree with your choice of Denise hooks but like you I wish they were longer! The head is fantastic for picking up loops and is very smooth. I once wrote to Denise and suggested they made a regular 10 or 12 inch straight Tunisian hook which I would buy if available. Nice video - thanks.

    Thank you for this great video. The information was so well presented. I am a long term knitter and crocheter and have just recently learned about Tunisian Crochet. A new obsession! Still have not decided on which set to purchase but with knitting I know that my corded hooks are all I ever use so why buy anything else.

    I purchased a Denise "Love2Crochet" interchangeable little kit several months back and I really like them. The sizes are from a 6.5mm to 15mm. Great set for the price!

    Thanks to this video, I just purchased a set of Denise Interchangeable hooks. I LOVE the hook heads on them, they glide in and out of my stitches SO SMOOTHLY. I don't think I've had a misfire since I've started using the Denise hooks.

    Hi Toni. Thank you for doing this review (and all your other videos. love them). I had a set of bamboo tunisian hooks that were okay, but I knew there had to be better. After your review I decided to go big and purchased the Tulip Carry T set. I am loving it! The extension pieces are great, and since it includes 10 sizes I can retire my massive collection of metal hooks. I'm sure I don't need to say anything about the carry case - it just sweetens the deal.
    Keep up the fantastic work. Looking forward to more videos. Victoria

    I haven’t tried any Tunisian hooks yet. I have just started with a small project using my regular hook. I am liking it so much I want to do more, so I will need something other than my regular crochet hook. Thank you so much for your honest evaluation and pros and cons of each set. Thank you for suggesting a starter set. I will be sure and get mine. So glad I stopped by for your expert advice. ✨💕

    This video was so helpful for me! I had purchased a Knitter's Pride hook and cable to use the Tunisian full stich for a king size blanket and was having so much trouble with it. I felt like I was fighting the hook all the time and the head of the hook was so long, I had to be really careful with the stitches. You confirmed it wasn't just me. And the cords were so stiff, I never got them to uncurl easily.
    In one of your other videos (yes, I've watched a ton since I found your site because you explain and demonstrate everything so well) you mentioned Clover hooks and how easy they were to use. So, I bought one hook and one cable. Magic! LOVE them and the way they move independently! That, and with the head size being smaller, has totally relieved my frustration and immediately allowed me to increase my speed. Thank you, thank you! They impressed me so much I've already ordered the set!!! Thanks for all you do!

    Thanks for the information. I was able to cancel my order with Amazon for the Kniter's Pride tunisian hooks and order the Denise kit with the larger hooks in it. It was nice to see the sets and what was good and bad about each set. Thank you for a great review of the various sets available.

    Thank you for your honest opinion. It is greatly appreciated; just starting off and not wanting to spend too much. I like that you had a range not just for the way they felt in your hand but cost as well; being a few yrs later, the cost is similar in difference for the most part. I did go with the cheaper sets for now, but I like Tulip carry just because they don't come undone, and it moves separately from the hook. (that is on my wish list) Thank you again for sharing your honesty

    I been watching your Tunisian crochet tutorials and I love your lessons so much, thank you!!! So, I got motivated to order me some Tunisian crochet hooks! I decided on the “Love2 crochet interchangeable hooks for about $25.00 on Amazon (prime free delivery), just got the a few days ago and I’m going to try doing a scarf!

    Thank you ..I have played a little with Tunisian crochet with my regular hooks but have not invested in a set yet. This will help me choose. I am a knitter...not crochet. I am very interested in this and really enjoy your videos☺

    Oh my goodness, I just bought a set of hooks and was thinking oh no I wish I had seen this video first. Luckily I bought your number one pick. I bought Denise in a dellaQ for double-ended crochet - 2nds Pink with pink cords for $57.80 on sale at her site. A total of 24 hooks. I’m so excited. I’ve been watching your Tunisian videos and I’m making a scarf. My first Tunisian hook is the same as your first one, it’s making my wrist hurt so I decided to make the investment. Thanks for the wonderful videos.
