I'm a clover girl, don't feel bad about liking them more than the others. And if you don't really love tulips, you could return them and get 200 dollars worth of yarn insted! I love you guys so much 💗
Correct, definitely can return them. I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU JAYDA, BUT ANY TIME I SWITCHVTHIS THAT CHANGE MY GRIP, I SUFFER FOR DAYS AFTERWARD.
I LOVE Clovers, but the Tulips are a great 2nd choice! Jayda, you're such a sweetie.
I also love the clover hooks.
I also have the boye hooks but prefer the clover.
Same
I have the set in pink, red and black. I love them. Best hooks I’ve ever used. So smooth, never snag, and perfect weight and length for my pencil grip. The labels don’t fade and the grips never wear down! Great investment! ❤️
Hi. Would Tulip set do you like best? Red, black, or pink, as why? Also , are you a pencil, or a knife hold?
I know it's a lot better of questions😂
@@Danceswithfishes Honestly, I like them all the same. They are very similar to me. I'm a pencil holder, and these hooks are my favorites! I like Clover also, very smooth with a great grip. Enjoy!!
I love, love, LOVE my Tulip hook set! I have the black handle set, and it was around $55 on Amazon. I want that pink set! ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for the comparison. Won’t waste $200 on the Tulip hooks.
I've had the Tulip pink set for years and wasn't impressed. I always go back to my Clovers! Happy Birthday 😻
agreed, I don't like the Pink set at all. I don't know why they try and say that the pink and dark hooks are the same? They are NOT!! The dark ones with the gold shaft are Superior to the Pink ones. From the handle, thumb deck to the ease and pointed tip of the Gold shaft dark ones!!! I like tulip up to a 5.5mm. my 6.0mm and up I like my clovers.
@@michellesanchez741 Hi Michelle! I have the black handle Tulips and didn't know they were different than the pink ones! Thx for the info. Maybe Jayda should return hers and get the dark handle ones instead bc I don't find them slippery at all. xo
@@Pitoonya yes, it's so strange that they market them as being the same just a different color. The only reason I found out that they were different is because I needed a 5.5mm hook for a baby blanket that I wanted to make for my first granddaughter ( due to be born in 10 days ) so already having some Tulips and loving them I decided to go with the Pink hook. As soon as I started using it I thought " this doesn't feel the same as my other Tulips"
I'm almost done with the blanket now and will NOT be using this pink hook again!!!
@@michellesanchez741 Hi Michelle...your 1st granddaughter, how exciting!! Congrats to you and your family. I always wanted the pink ones but will not be getting them now. I have a feeling I will not like them. You're right..it is strange that the same company would make the hooks different just bc it's a diff color.
@Theresa Almazan I want them for lace work. So they are good under 5.00mm?
I have both Clover and Tulip hooks. I absolutely adore my Tulips. I have arthritis. Tulip and Clover both comfortable to hold. The hook size print on each hook has never worn off. As I am legally blind, I can see the hook size on Tulip but not on the Clovers. I have 3 sets of Tulip. Pink, Grey Steel, Grey Gold. Also the smaller travel packs. However it is what you are used to holding. As I’ve used Tulip more then Clover, therefore I prefer Tulip.
Hi! do you know they diff between the grey gold and pink?
Just bought my first Tulip hook on Wed. I have not stopped crocheting, made 2 shawls and baby blanket. you will love the hooks.
I love my Tulip hooks! I have Furls, Armour, Susan Bates, etc. Tulip is the best for me hands down. I was glad to read in the comments below that the size label stays on! I think you will love these hooks!! I wish I had the pink I have the dark grey.
I've used my tulips almost every day for 5 years and nothing wears off unless they changed them since. I did have to purchase the 6.5 mm separate. Same kit you got was $75 from Amazon 5 years ago.
I use Susan Bates hooks because I find they are very smooth and they have a grip. The shaft is fairly longer than the Clover. I do use a lot of the Clover ones to. I like the different colors and they work well. 😊
@@Loverdover my susan bates colors faded so fast though!
I treated myself for my March birthday with the Rose Etimo set. I bought mine for $125. I already had the black ones. Love them! I love Prym and Furls too! I also like Clover. I’m now collecting the red Tulip hooks just buying one at a time.
Hi Knit, Purl & Squirrel! I didn't know Tulips came in red!! I would LOVE to try Furls hooks!@ i can't afford them tho. I have the black handle Tulips, paid $32.00 for set on Amazon 3 yrs ago. Thx for the info. xo
I have my eyes on the red Tulip crochet set. I just wonder how different are they from what I have already.
I love mine too! I got the red Tulip Etimo set in 4.00 - 6.50 mm on Etsy for around $65 US & if I am not mistaken I got free shipping. Enjoy!
I bought my first red one. Love it!! I also got some if the Streamline Furls when they were on sale. I have soo many hooks. My mom got me a Prym set for Christmas. The are pretty and work well for me.
Which one is better the black orr rose
These are my favorite for the past 5 years!!!!
mine too I have the gray set.
Don’t think I could justify spending that much. I bought a set of Clover hooks last year and love them. Also having grip issues I found I do only need to lightly hold them rather that than having to grip firmly. However, any hook is better than none!
My hands hurt so bad. Going in soon for injections again...grrr.
BUT THATS HARDER ON YOUR THUMB JOINT TO LOSE UR GRIP, LILE U SAID.
It depends on what set you get,my grey set was only $56 and I got them for my birthday several years ago,however clover hooks are good too. If I was a crochet designer then I would want the best hooks money can buy seeing that they do awhole lot of crocheting.
I do love a good crochet hook myself though
I wouldn’t go straight for an expensive set of a hook I’ve never tried before. When I first heard of Tulip, I started off buying just one hook to try it out first. I fell in love instantly and therefore decided it was worth it to buy a whole set considering how much I crochet.
I love tulip hooks, they are just great! and dont worry, I have been using years and the sticker that label the size still sits nicely 😘
I really like the clover when using a “knife hold” and the Tulip for a “pencil hold”…all depends on the yarn I use. I love both hooks 😊. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy your new hooks ☺️
I started with aluminum hooks and still have them. I now use clover almost exclusively. I have arthritis in my hands so as I have aged, the clover hooks work best for me.
Off topic-but I remember seeing made in Japan stamped on my Mom’s plates and sewing accessories and other items. And the items made a positive impression on me. I miss that made in Japan stamp🤷🏾♀️. Brings back nice childhood memories. Especially the plates and the tea cups...so pretty
My grandma had only steel hooks and I never learned how to crochet with them. My hand was starting to hurt after a few minutes of using them. Then I bought the Clover type of hooks (they are brandless but they look the same as Clover hooks). I tried that hard rubber/plastic ergonomic hooks and they were getting slippery after some time of crochetting. Softer rubber handles have so much better grip.
I have some steel hooks also that I use for my thread crochet projects. More than a decade ago I found these grips to put on those tiny hooks. They kind of like like miniature pool noodles and slide(very tightly) on to the hook. I'm sorry but I have no idea what they are called or if they even exist anymore, just thought someone who needs something like this to make a small hook fatter can at least know they could still be out there somewhere maybe.
I LOVE my clovers, even the plastic ones! They glide so beautifully through yarn, I never have to guess what size I’m using...and I’ve been lucky to find deals on the ones I’ve gotten. I thought the tulips were too pricey for me. So, based on your review (I’m also a knife hold, w carpel tunnel), I’m SO happy I chose the clovers!
These would be amazing for my arthritic hands I'm 86yrs old and use the aluminum ones
Try getting Clover. Get one in your favorite size. I think you will never go back.💛💛💛💛💛
I bought my Tulips in 2017 and I use them a lot and I haven't had any problems with the label wearing off. I love them and don't suffer from arthritis pain. I also have rheumatoid arthritis. I hope you enjoy them. They're very pretty.
I have two Tulip hooks that I have been using for years. The print on them has not worn off at all and I use them a lot. I mostly use my Tulips and Clovers.
My husband purchased a set of ergo hooks for me from Walmart a few years back ($20) and they came in the exact same case. Same color and texture, as well as the little pouch on the inside for smaller pieces. The handles on the hooks were also all pink. (Boye brand)
I love Boye crochet hooks!
I’ve had mine for 10 years! It came in a pink case also. They still work well but I’m wondering should I try something new lol 😂
@@0ShiftingParadigms0 so do I
The pink Tulips are pretty, but I plan to stick with my much loved Clovers... for several reasons..
First of all, I am visually impaired, so having each size be a particular color is a huge help. Having the sizes embossed is nice, too.
Secondly, I love the feel of my Clovers..
Thirdly, my Clovers fitbperfectly in my child sized hands.
Fourth.. The price is right..
Oh yes.. I love your longer hair.. 😕
Sometimes I still get out my old...but colorful Susan Bates and Boye aluminum hooks... Just because………
I have small hands as well..😉
Hi Sandy,
I am also visually impaired. I love my Clover hooks very much. I also use Furls crochet hooks as well. I crochet using an adaptive method. I place the base of the hook against my body and work with both hands. My right hand controls the tension and my left hand controls the yarn overs.
I love my Clovers (sale for $35 US) AND my Tulips (Sale $78 US). Sometimes one works better with different yarns than the other. My Tulips are the gray ones with the gold shafts, I'm not sure if they're constructed different than the pink? Mine are not "slippery" in the grip. My size "sticker" looks new to this day. Yes, if one hook "squeaks", I will switch to the other & the squeaks will stop. HAPPY BIRTHDAY & congrats on your new hooks!
I'm in the USA. My husband bought me that exact same set of Tulips a few Christmas ago. I don't use any other hook. I'm in love with my Tulips. I believe he paid about $130.00 us dollars.
Yup! Tulip girl all the way!
I started out with a Boye G aluminum hook 49 years ago. Two years ago I tried a Clover and a Tulip and a Furls. I don’t like any of them. I bought a 12-piece ergonomic set from Amazon called Auear and I love them the best.
I love my tulip pink set… now I want the red one! I use them all time … interestingly I am also a knife holder. At least I can tell u the stickers havnt worn off even my 5! ( tho I’m used to the shade of pink to grab them by size)
I have 2 sets of hooks with bamboo handles and the sizes are carved in the bamboo I have had them for 3 years now they feel great in my hand they are a little smooth. The sizes are from 2.0 to 6.5 and I use them all. Only paid 10.99 for them on amazon I have 2 sets so that way I have a extra hook for other projects if I have more than one going at once. I really enjoyed your honest review and totally agree with the size being engraved in the handle. Have a beautiful day or night.🌻😁
Thank you for the review! I think I will stick with my Clovers!
Hi Darla! I'm going to attempt some big projects with a couple of these and see what I think 😊
I'm a Clover girl myself, but I do have a set of the red Tulips. The red ones have more of a rubber grip like the Clovers. They are not plastic like the pink Tulips so the red ones are also an option to try. 🥰
I hope you enjoy them…..I finally found a set I absolutely love when I bought my set of Clovers last year. I probably won’t experiment further with the price of Tulips what they are…even with the extra paraphernalia. When it’s not broken, don’t fix it! 😊 And I could use the extra dollars on some more yarn!
The Tulips label is pretty sturdy, I have had my set for at least 5 - 6 years now and no wear or tear on the label, just saying. And y the way, I'm American and the cost for my set was around $50-$60 (caught a great sale). My set is also the grey colour handles.
Had my Tulips for several years and label looks same as day I bought. My favorites.
Same here though mine are pink. Also got on sale for about $60 for entire kit. Have tried so many but Tulip seem to fit my hand best. Have tried Addi, Furls, beautiful hand made from Etsy but find most are too long for a smaller hand. Love my Tulips.
IWAS TOLD BY MY GRANDMA TO WASH MY KNITTING NEEDLE AND HOOKS A COUPLE TIMES A YEAR. SHE SAID WE DONT REALIZE HOW MUCH SKIN OILS DO GET ON THE SHAFT AS WELL AS WHERE U GROP.
What? Where did you find that deal ? Not on Amazon and Not in California !!! Last time i checked Amazon The Rose colored set was $179.99 .
It is like anything in life, you get used to a certain brand of anything and it is very hard to change to a different one even if it is a much nicer or expensive product. I have been crocheting for almost 60 years and for the last 30, it has always been a Susan Bates. I have a full set (14) of Clovers inside my craft box. I also bought sizes 8 and 9 of Furls, Tulips, Prym but I do not feel comfortable with any hook but Susan Bates.
Was gifted a set of Tulips 2 years ago. Been Crocheting for 55 yrs. and never knew a HOOK could make such a difference. Always used Hero or Boye because they don’t split the yarn.
I have arthritis as well and can now crochet twice as long!! I’ll never again use anything but my Tulips!
(PS, the hook labels NEVER rub off)
Yup! Even my hubby knows: this is a tulip house! Tulips only. That is all. LOL
I really appreciated this honest and thorough review. I love pink, too! But that's too bad about the hook size being a sticker. You'd think for $200 they could emboss the dang things! My favorite hook set of all time (I got my set of 8 for like $40 American) is the WeCrochet radiant crochet hook set, and they are my dream hooks, except for ONE THING: the sizes aren't printed on the hooks! No embossing/engraving (they're wood so I guess it should be wood-burned onto the hooks), no sticker, no nothing! Manufacturers take note! That one little detail goes a long way!
Also, I just wanted to say, whatever makeup you're wearing in this video is absolutely perfect. You look gorgeous!
Thank you Anna-Kate! oooh! I will have to check those out 😊
Thank you for this video. I have a clover set that's almost 10 years old and still feels like new. I have been wanting to try Tulip but it's priced out of my range and now I can let go of the idea of purchasing a set. Again thank you. Love your channel and your projects. 💖💖💖💖
This was a much needed treat of a non crochet film. I'm unable to crochet for the next several months. Ty, dear friend. Be blessed.
You are so welcome Reta, I hope you recover quickly 💗
I have arthritis and neuropathy and Clover hooks have never let me down. I don't need to search for any other hooks. But I love that you evaluate different items for us. It helps alot!
Are the hooks and needles made of gold hell no 200 to expensive 😳
THANK YOU MS. JAYDA FOR YOUR HONEST OPINION ON THE TULIP CROCHET HOOKS. AS FOR MYSELF I'M A FURLS SUPPORTER & THE CROCHET HOOKS ARE WONDERFUL ON MY HANDS & I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEM BUT I ALSO HAVE SOME BOYE & SUSAN BATES HOOKS MY SELF. THANK AGAIN & HAPPY CROCHETING 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hi! I haven't tried Furl's yet, but I hear a lot of people like them 😁 Thank you for watching!
I love simple and very basic hooks with silicone grip - very cheap. I watched some videos about various hooks and a lot of people recommended clovers soft grip. I've bought (thank God ) only 3 numbers and I don't like them at all. They are not as expensive as pink tulips but still pretty expensive. I was disappointed. Finally I tried Knit Pro Waves - I love them, they are light but not too light, have perfect hook that doesn't slip, that have different colours in different numbers and they go with reasonable price. I prefer knife grip so they are perfect for me. Recently completed all set. I don't buy in sets cause I don't want to be disappointed and pay a lot at the same time :D
I’ve heard that people who like Boye often prefer Clover and those who like Bates prefer Tulips. My grey handle Tulips were on sale on Amazon ( about $60 US) and I love love love them! (I was a Bates girl!)
Hi Margot! I have the black handle Tulips..didn't know they had grey ones! Also, knit, purl & Squirrel said they have red handle Tulips. 😳
I despise Boye and have no love for Bates. But I ADORE my tulips and won't use anything else. I have multiple sets!
I’m a pencil holder and when I started at 8years I used Susan Bates hooks until this year. I use Furls hooks now and love love them. Happy Birthday, hope you enjoy your new hooks. Have u ever used a furls hook? Have a great day!!!
Hi Traci! No, I'd actually not heard of Furl's until everyone's lovely comments on this video...guess what's next on my list!? 😊
Yay!!! I think you’ll like them. Have a great day!!!
The best thing about the clovers, for me, is that each size has its own color. I have severe glaucoma, so it’s really nice just to reach for the color of the hook I want.
I never heard of tulip hooks till now.
I love your honest review on the different brand hooks which is very helpful.
I love my Susan Bates because of the in-line shaft and pointed tip. I'm 67 and have had Susan Bates since I was 11 yrs old. However, recently I did break over and bought a Clover set that I rarely use because I love the Bates in-line design. So I bought a set of Susan Bates hooks that have a black rubber handle, and I LOVE them!!!!!❤ A few weeks ago I invested in a set of KnitPro Zing hooks. Love them but, if you have arthritis in your fingers, don't get them. They are the most slender hooks I've ever seen. I really like them though because I tend to crochet faster with the Zing hooks. BTW, I'm a "knife grip" hook holder too.
Thanks for the analysis! I don't adjust to change very well, so I'll stick with what I use & like. Again, thanks for the analysis!
You should try the Furls Odyssey hooks. I really love the large handles! They are my favorites, with the clovers close behind. I have one Tulip hook that I like, but once I tried the Furls I stopped using the Tulip. I prefer the wider handle, otherwise my hands hurt. Enjoy the Tulips, i’ve heard good things about them as well. Everyone’s hands are different.
The Furls Odyssey are supposedly good for people who have arthritis. Read the reviews. They are expensive but worth trying. They are returnable for any reason within a period of time, I forgot how long. But there is an adjustment period. They often have sales. I initially tried them because I prefer a metal ergonomic hook but the clover hooks are plastic from 6.5 mm and larger. I loved my clovers but not the plastic ones, so I tried the 6.5 mm tulip and then tried the Furls Odyssey. Over time I got used to it and now love it and bought many more, a few hooks at a time. However they have stickers for sizing. Some people use clear nail polish to keep the stickers on. I made labels with a label maker and that works. But it is slippery at first without a thumb deck. It takes time but I love the Furls best. When I use my Clovers they feel so thin now, although they are wonderful hooks.
I also like the Furls. Once I tried them, none of my other ergonomic hooks were comfortable anymore.
@@margaretpena1021 which furls?
The Odyssey hooks are one of my favorites of the Furls brand, but they are heavy. And there *is* an adjustment period. I tried the Alpha and was discouraged that it was so strange to use. Then, all of a sudden, it was the best hook I had ever used!
@@DesertNails
Odyssey. I tried the streamlines, but they had a drag when crocheting, so I returned and exchanged for me Odysseys.
🤣 I love the editing, the points for Mr. Institches 👍🤣
HI Blossom! Thank you!
I have the brown Tulips that come in a silver case. I paid around $60 for the set and I LOVE them. I also have a set of Clover hooks. I have a Furls Odysee and a couple Furls streamlines. I have Boye aluminum hooks, Susan Bates crystaline hooks. And I have a set of Pryms. I use them all, but my Tulips are my go-to hooks. Had them for over a year, use them near daily, and nothing has rubbed off. That's the thing with crafts...everyone has their favorite tools. Doesn't mean one is better, just that opinions are personal.
I love mine!!!! Just love it ! I have the red ones 🥰🥰🥰🥰 and the grey ones. Now I will go for the pink ones 😂. And do not worry about the numbers. They do not come off
I use Boye ergonomic hooks. They're great to me. They came in a pink case with scissors and needles like the tulips did. The grips. seems like the Clover set. But I paid even less than $50 for them, years ago.
This is July 2024, I’ve had my tulips for about three years, and they still look brand new. My clovers are even older and they still look good too. These are two really good products, and I think anyone would be happy with either one.but I have to be honest and say that I seem to prefer the tulips. They are beautiful, and feel perfect in my very small hands.
The big fuss for the clovers is that each size has its own color. This is valuable to me as I am., as I am legally blind. However, I will say that the white on black of the tulip is also very helpful. The pinks have black on pink, and that is good too.
You just can’t lose with either one of these hooks
I started out with Susan Bates 55 years ago. I have a set of Clovers and a set of Tulips. I am a pencil grip girl. I LOVE both sets, but I tend to use my Tulips just a bit more. I got my sets on sale and I think they are both worth the money. If you love crochet, treat yourself to the very best "tools"!
I’m a tulip and Clover gal. I got my pink Tulips from Joannees with a 50% off coupon and I love love love them.
I love my Clovers. 2nd is my Susan Bates Bamboo handled hooks. I do have one brown Tulip Hook in size K. That's another thing - the Tulips in Pink don't have the letters on them and I am an American and used to that. My Clovers have the MM as well as the Letter size on them. Thank you for the review! 💜
On Amazon in the US they are on sale $114.00 was $160.00.
I have all the Clover Amore sizes! They are hands down my favorite hooks!!
I'm just delighted that I have all these different hooks to choose from! * giggle *
Hi from the UK, I bought some aluminium coloured hooks from Amazon for £5.19 & then added polymer clay handles as I found that non of the pre designed grips worked for how I hold my hooks.
I hold them between my index & middle fingers in a sort of pencil grip or switch to a knife grip so my own custom made grips allow me to switch between the two & still have a comfortable hook position. Bonus being that I can have whatever designs I can dream of from retro spots to classic old school games like PAC-Man & Tetris.
I've recently found your channel & your hooded cape inspired me to make a hooded wrap which I have just finished in 1 week.
Hi Robyn, welcome to our channel! Thank you for watching 😊
I have a set of Clover's those were my first set. I was able to handle and check out the Tulip ones and didn't like them (glad I didn't buy the set Amazon one-day delivery in the US are $129) The set in my collection that I am MOST in love with are my Furls. I was able to get an entire set of Furls Streamline Swirls (galaxy, Taurus) for $150 (on sale) on Etsy from AnnasGottaCrochet 2. I started with one and liked them so much I bought the set.
The Taurus ones are lovely. I’m dreaming of an entire set of pink-and-white swirls, and a set of sky-blue-and-white swirls. I have the entire Supernova set and a few other odd streamlines, and an entire set of Odyssey hooks. 💕
Hallo honey the hook my hubby’s bought me are ‘be crafted’ in a large navy zipped book with white spots on,inside was a treat row pegs ,scissors fold into themselves and look like Oprah glasses,tape measure,long clips for loads of stitches ,two plastic wool needles and a good filling thimble and a row counter like you put on knitting needles,for. me their brilliant from the smiley face company,jolly good price,I’ve probably forgotten something but they are superb,also is their a pattern for that beautiful green crochet hat with daisys on, Jade keep bringing beautiful thing us new bs can do luv teresa x x
Hi! Thank you for watching 😊 Yes, we have a written pattern for our Daisy Granny Square Bucket Hat over in our Etsy shop, you'll find the link in the description box 💗
I'm one of those people who get hooks from etsy. I love the hand-turned wooden ones best, they've completely changed the way I crochet. My hands never get tired anymore. The next one I order though is going to have either a clover or tulip metal shaft on top of the wooden handle so I'd be really interested to see your more in depth review of the hook part itself.
That would be really cool.
I like the idea of the custom, turned handles but I HATE crocheting with wood hooks. Even furls. I hate the drag on the hook.
I actually think the tulips are VERY comfy how I hold them (a loose knife grip). They are all day comfy for me. And I can't say that about many other hooks. Not even my streamlined swirls.
But if the wood handles were REALLY light weight (the weight is why I don't have Odyssey hooks), that would be a nice combo with the tulip head.
Tulips are smooth as SILK. Clovers are smooth but tulips are smoother. No question.
Who do you buy from on etsy that will put a custom wood handle on a tulip hook?
Do you find with multiple WIPs, that your hooks “disappear” until you finish? I have hooks all over the place, stuck in projects. It’s ridiculous! So my resolution-not New Year’s- is to finish all these WIPs before I start anything else. Of course, people will have to take a break from having babies, and the grandkids will have to quit growing, lol…
I put a bread tag you get on your bread bag and i label it with the size of the needle for each project. So if I only have so many hooks, I know the size.
Im the same with projects all over the place with a hook in each one. My goal is also to finish then all before starting anything new
Hi Anne! I usually pin a note to my WIP indicating what hook I'm using and where I left off, just to avoid "losing" my hooks (been there, done that!!)
Hello Anne, I had the same problem. I fixed it by placing a paper (detailing which project using the hook)in the slot where the hook's placement is my hook case. Never failed me yet. Hope this is helpful. By the way, I still have a pile of unfinished wips and I'm still saying that I'm going to finish those first. Haha!
@@loriscrochetcreations8566 Love this idea. I like my hooks in the project bags themselves because we often leave the house quite quickly, and I never leave without a project bag! I even keep one in the car, but sometimes I have one I'm working on that has an earlier need by/want by date! I like being ready to go in an instant, and need a lot of variety in projects to keep my wandering mind happy! I've begun purchasing the un-branded light-up kits with 11 hook sized and often extra notions in the packs like stitch markers, yarn needles, and even a small magnifying glass. I've begun using these kits in my project bags. What a big difference! They come with wildly varying prices, so watch for your best price with the most number of hooks if you decide to purchase any of these!
I am very proud as I own the same set of tulips crochet hooks 💯✅🧶💕❤️😍. It just glides in your hands as you crochet 🧶
Thank you for the review, I appreciate your honesty. I have wanted to try Tulip hooks for awhile but have waited because of the price. I use Clover hooks and love, love, love them! I use the pencil grip and find the Clover hooks very comfortable! Thanks you for another great video!
I love my Tulips and Clovers! Great quality and really nice to use over time. I’ve been quite lucky with the hook size info on my Tulips, still perfectly visible after about 18 months of use. Love your videos, thanks so much for all you do! ♥️
Thanks for sharing! My daughter bought me a set of ergonomic hooks that I just love, came in a pretty case with scissors, about 10 yarn needles and some stitch markers. The sizes are both engraved on one side and stamped on the other. Have a great weekend!
Happy Belated Birthday Jayda 🎉🎈🎂🎁. I love my Clover hooks, and I enjoy
them every time I use them.
I have the black set. But so jealous of Mr. Stitches. He so good to you. Love the pink. Wanted the pink but more expensive than black.
This is a terrifically informative review. I picked up a set of Clovers a couple years ago as a treat to myself and have loved them ever since. Thanks for the great comparison with the Tulips!
I got that Tulip Set and love them. I got them on Amazon.I also have some of the Gray ones. I recently got four of the Red Tulip ones on Amazon. Great Hooks. Happy Birthday.
I am a crocheter with 60 years experience working with all kinds of hooks. I am amazed that people are buying sets of crochet hooks for 50 $ and more. I live in the Netherlands and we have an all purpose store called Zeeman. I bought ttree sets of hooks in all regular sizes for 2€ per three hooks. They are not stamped as tulips but are exactly the same. Wonderful to work with.
Update: I’m still…nine months later…and don’t plan to buy any Tulips… However… I have bought…over time…four Furls Odyssey hooks. To be honest, there was…for me, anyway, a definite learning curve with them. I almost returned the first one, but a friend encouraged me to give it a few days… The hook felt big, in my small hand, and the nickel plsted shaft was almost too smith.
I’m glad I gave the Odyssey a chance, because I grew to love it. My Clovers are still my favorite hooks, but I also appreciate my Odysseys…That nickel plated shaft is awesome.
Jada, forgot to mention that same set of tulips that were once $200, Arnel on sold on Amazon for $99. That’s why I’m considering buying them. I love the pink key and I think the pink hooks are pretty cool.
My first set of hooks…the Tulip Etimo Pink hooks…that I bought myself, back in 2009. These are my go-to…and they are PINK. I will buy, everything and anything, if it comes in pink…first! 💗. I actually bought two kits, one for home and one for travel.
Just a FYI…I have used and abused these hooks…and the sizes are still on and look like they do in your video.
I started off with boye hooks as they are the most accessible and cheapest hooks around here! My mon also has a friend who crochets and handed down some hooks of every size I could imagine to me with a very nice crochet hook bag. I now use clover hooks and I love how they feel in my hand. I would prefer them over my boye hooks, but would use a boye hook if it was a size issue. My mom also got me a crochet hook off of Etsy in my favorite size where they added a clay handle and painted it! It’s bee themed which is my favorite animal. I gotta say, I have a lot of crochet hooks!
I have RA also, always going to have pain I'm afraid! But crochet is my joy, so have to take breaks!
Clover wins my vote!
I've been using crochet hooks that I ordered from Amazon from something called Yarniss? They're ergonomic hooks that seem similar to clover. An assortment up to 10 mm. It came in a little flowered case,with scissors, needles and stitch markers. To be honest I thought the case was cute so I ordered them. They weren't very expensive either $15.99
I am a pencil grip crocheter. My favorite book is the little flat brown clover.
I got the same set for $118 American. I absolutely love them.
I am a clover girl. But I love my Leither co. Hooks. The have wood handles with a Clover hook inside. The wood is warm on my arthritic hands and they have different shapes so you can pick the handle that fits best in your hand. I have small hands and I like the ones that have a wider spot for my thumb.
Ive had the pink and brown tulip sets for awhile. Im 78 yrs ole and have small hands and love them for my hands. The clover grips are heavy for my hands. Thanks for your wonderful videos.
Hi Nancy! It sounds like people with smaller hands or tighter grips might really enjoy the Tulips 😊 Thank you for sharing!
Happy Birthday🌻 May You and Yours always walk in Joy, Peace and Confidence! Thanks for this review. I use regular old hooks: some were Grandma's, some from 2nd hand shops. I will remember your suggestions and pointers as my thumbs have arthritis keeping in. I like that Mr. Institches is supportive and thoughtful👍
Appreciate You! -from Linda in Texas
Had my Tulips (brown and gold) for around 4 years. Constant daily use and the sizing has not rubbed off. Not tried the Clover so can’t compare but I do love my Tulips and am saving for the pink kit. (positively drooling over it)
Enjoy your new set of Tulips! I started with Susan Bates silvalume hooks. I got the Clover set about 2 years ago when Christa from the Secret Yarnery said they were on sale...$28. US dollars on Amazon. I love them both, but prefer the head of the Bates/inline hooks better. I use both depending on the yarn. I can't believe how much Clover hooks are now! 🤯
I’ve seen reviews on the Tulips and people who have used them for years say that the sticker isn’t compromised.
Pink is my favorite. I’ve wanted this Tulip set for years. But I absolutely love my Clovers (I just wish they were all pink!). I enjoy my Furls hooks as well.
I too love my Furls.
I've had my tulips for years. They are my only hooks in those sizes. They look as good as the day I bought them. That sticker isn't going anywhere.
I have the pink Tulip Etimo since 2016. I also have the gray Tulip Etimo set. Recently I got the “red” Tulip Etimo set in my most used sizes(4.00 - 6.50 mm) on “Etsy” for $65 US. I did not get the set on Amazon because it was very pricey & the sizes in that set were very small which I rarely use so not worth it for me. You can buy just individual red Tulip Etimo hooks on Amazon. By the way the sticker has never come off and as I said I have been using them for years. Enjoy!
Your follow up video to this one made me get some Tulip hooks! I have a pencil grip and have had a hard time finding an ergonomic hook that works well for my grip. I'm sorry they didn't work well for you, but they're working awesome for me!
That's great! I'm glad we could help 😊
I agree with you on the thumb deck of the Tulip. I am currently making a blanket using The Rose colored Tulip in 5.5mm . The thumb deck Ridge on the Rose Colored Tulips is bigger than the one on the Dark Tulips with the Gold Shaft. My thumb always creeps up and I end up rolling over my cuticle on my thumb and it ends up really sore or even cracked. I do have some of the Tulips dark color and a few clovers . I am finding ( just been using them since december 2020) That I like the Clover 6.00 and lager and I love the Tulip dark 5.5mm and Under. Something about the Tulip gold shaft is amazing. I also like Tulip dark ( not the Rose ) because the hook tips are more pointed than the Clovers in the smaller sizes . Both of these hooks have improved my crocheting skills tremendously . After not crocheting for over 20 years then coming back to it and sooooo much has changed and improved in so many way. In My Opinion if you are going to try these hooks buy one or two ( in the sizes you use most) of each and try them out first!!! You will not be dissapointed!
Thank you for the tip Michelle 😊
I love my bamboo handle metal hooks. I have the clover hooks and don’t like them at all. Then my daughter bought me some new hooks I like even better then my clover hooks. So I have four different sets I even bought several sets for my daughter in-law. Can you believe my son Is dating a girl that crochets. I’m so happy she crochets. She new at it but she gets to come get yarn from me anytime she wants. I love to share with her. Thank you for another great video with you being such a cheery person. I too have arthritis really Bad like you. I’ve really been in pain while crocheting but now having different hooks has helped but now my neck is hurting a lot. It’s because I’m also bedridden to. So it’s How I lay to crochet it’s hurting my neck to. Darn arthritis.
I'm in love with Clover and Furls. I think your bag may be dyed ostrich leather. Looks like the grain on a pair of ostrich leather boots I have. So $50+ may be cost of the zippered bag. Good luck with them.
I have both sets, except I have the gray set of Tulips and not the pink. I love both the clover and the tulips, and just wanted to add my take.
I’ve had my Tulips for over 10 years and the size hasn’t come off at all and I use them often. I think that the thing that looks like a sticker is actually embedded into the handle. It also hasn’t faded one bit.
The shaft of my Tulips is gold-colored and very shiny and super smooth. I feel that this really lets the hook glide through the yarn and is the smoothest hook I’ve ever used. I use my clover hooks when I’m using a very smooth yarn and need a little more grip, which I find that slightly textured feel of the Clovers provides. And incidentally, the grips on both of my sets feel identical as far as the rubber is concerned. The grips are slightly different as far as the shape goes, but I’m okay with both (i use a knife grip too).
So overall, I love both, I use both, but u think I love the smoothness of the Tulips just a tiny bit better.
Hi Maribel! It looks like the grey Tulips might have been a better option for me...I didn't realize they came in grey when I found the pink ones. Plus, can I say again, PINK!! * giggle *
@Jayda InStitches, omgosh, You are so right about the Tulips being more for the pencil grip crocheter!! I use both grips...I just used my Tulip hooks and tried the pencil grip and it is perfect for it!! I never knew! Thank you 🤩💜🌻🌞🥰 When I 1st learned, I was a pencil grip..then saw that so many were knife grip, so I tried it. It was awkward at 1st, but I learned and I do that 90% of the time. So now I will use my Clover for knife grip and Tulip for pencil grip. Thx so much Jayda! 💓
Hi Daisy Mae! I have tried the pencil grip, but never for very long, but since my fingers aren't hurting too much at the moment, maybe I should reattempt it! Thank you for the idea!

Thanks for sharing your unboxing of crochet hooks and for your review and all information. This crochet hooks are a little bit to expensive for me. I like when a crochet hooks that are different colors. I started with Boyed and I have purchased Clover. Have a great day.
Happy Belated Birthday, Jayda! Well done, General! Well done!! Personally, I think he deserves +1 point for each hook! My favorite hooks are my Knitter's Pride "Waves" Hooks! My hubby got those for me a number of years ago. Great video. Have a wonderful weekend. (Only one more week and we get another installment for our calendar blanket!! Can't wait!)
* giggle * You're right! He DOES deserve a +1 point for each hook (AND the case, I love the case!)

I love my Clover hooks the best. I have used lots of different hooks but Clover are the best. I have 2 Furls hooks and they are nice. I started out many years ago with Boye hooks.
Well, I love my Tulip hooks. I have the brown, pink and just bought my first red one. They are all great. But, I have just invested in Furls. I have very bad AR. I have found that the Furls allow me to crochet longer. I have bought the Streamline, on sale, and I love them. So, just like yarn, no hook is too expensive if you like it. 🙂
I have the boye ergonomic ones. I love them so much I’ve broken several in my favorite size. I loooove them
I have that same set. I like taking it with me on the go because I can just throw it in my bag
I have clover hooks, but I find them too short. I bought some other brand of ergo hooks and they are longer and have a nice rubber handle. I actually stopped using clover and started using these other hooks. I was gripping the clovers in a way that the handle was hurting the palm of my hand. Using the longer hooks made me change the way I held the hook and now I went back to clover and I'm using them the same way I was using the longer hooks. Thank you for your honest opinion. I'm sold on clover. I just wish the handle was longer.
I have a very cheap set of ergonomic needles that I paid 12.00 amazon. They also are engraved with size and I love them.
