I rubbed a dryer sheet then microfiber cloth on the shaft and the drag disappeared
Great tip Stacy!
Wow! Thanks for the tip! I only experienced drag on the sugar n cream cotton, I’ll try the dryer sheet next time 😊
I thought the hole at the end was so that you could hang it around your neck with a bit of scrap yarn. That way you don't lose your hook when you get up to tend to kids, make coffee, etc. 😊
Someone said that the hole is for a stitch marker. 🐞
Thanks Amy
I heard (from one of their people) they are planning to come out with the bigger sizes at some point. Yes I think reviews should be done with different yarns as yarns can work different with different hooks.
Oooh that would be excellent
I love these hooks. I have 2 sets of them. Just in case I lose 1. I put a stitch marker in the hole at the end. And then I can hook it to my project or my project bag!
I enjoy the grip too.
Those who have WIP Carts can use "S" hooks to hang the ones they are using for the WIPs on the cart.
Oh I love polka dots!
I've been using my hooks for some time now and I really enjoy them. I'm a clover amour fan and the tips are very much like the clover. They do drag a little when new but that goes away. My only complaint is that the coating on the handle causes oils from the skin to accumulate and it looks dirty. Another channel reviewed these a while back and she thought the coating was rubbing off. Nope, it's just finger gunk. I really like the longer handle too, although if you're working with a holey pattern, the length could be an issue if it sticks out too far past your hand. If you're a clover fan, you'll like these dots hooks.
The hole on the hook is probably either to run the yarn thru it. Or it’s to hook it to your project with a attachment to it. Or maybe they think we hang our crochet hooks up. If you find out let us know.
I use a small stitch holder to hold my row counter on while circular knitting , and as I crochet. The hole at the end of these hooks would be handy to use to stick on the stitch holder and keep everything in one spot when not in use
Perhaps i will check it out
Maybe a wrist in a live on another channel mentioned loosing her hook down a set of bleachers and wished it had a wrist strap!!!
I was wondering how good they were going to work. Thanks for sharing, Kim. Have a good evening.
I really enjoy my set as much as my clovers and so much cheaper. I did notice a drag at first, but it wore off so I'm thinking they need a good clean/wipe first. Grabbed a set when they were $20 and a second set @ $25. They are a bargain compared to my clovers and I'm always misplacing my hooks (they turn up eventually).
But the turtle won the race, lol! Sounds like a win!
Oh duh! 🐢
Loved your review. So the hole is for your stitch marker to go in. So you always have one. Also I have been using my 3.5 and 4mm constantly for over a month now and I crochet several hours everyday. No problems with the coating rubbing off. It works well with clothing cotton but not kitchen cotton, yes. Whenever I get a new hook before I use it I wipe it with a soft cloth. Gets off all the residue and dust that might be on there.
Best thing though 2 of mine were damaged and they replaced them. So wonderful!
Renaissance Wax is what I use for my hooks, needles, and even wooden and metal tools around the home. It's not cheap, but a little goes a very long way and it lasts without harming most hard surfaces. Museums use it to protect antiquities. It forms a very hard, lasting clear coat that is quite slick.
Oooh great info!
Very interesting, I did not know that either, thanks for sharing.
I like these hooks
Have this set and have made a couple of crocheted cotton shawls with them. Don’t find them dragging along my yarn while making any pattern stitches. Furls hooks and Clover ones are still my favorite though! The hole at the end of each hook is for a stitch marker.
Thanks Alyson for sharing
I think I still like the clover hooks a bit better than the dots but the dots win for longer length and for the price of the set I think they are good hooks. I am interested to see over time if the rubbery part of the handle holds up. I hope they will come out with bigger sizes because I really like metal hooks and all my larger size hooks are plastic/resin 🙄
Agree… these will for sure be put to the front of my hook rotation. I will update if i see any changes. Thanks again Meagan!
I was wondering how they compared to clovers
I emailed wecrochet asking for larger sizes
I bought these and like the hook but after awhile the dots on the shaft irritate my hand and had to quit using them half through a project
Please do samples with different fibers. ty
FYI: Brenda @ BYC Crochet from early known as Brenda the Newbie Crocheter put a light cured gel nail polish on her hooks so she wouldn't ware through the dot sleeve.
I like the hooks , the only problem I have had is the small # 2 bent while doing an amigurumi.
Hmm that stinks Sherry.
See I watched. Love you. ❤
🥰🇨🇦 back at ya
When you do your reviews, use cotton, acrylic, and wool. Maybe alpaca. It helps to see you use it on a wide variety of fibers.
I think testing the hook on cotton and acrylic
Thanks for weighing in Margaret
Hole is for a stitch marker
Thanks for sharing, Kim. Is the grip part similar to the Boye ergonomic grips?
Maybe to put on a peg board.
Interesting. The hook part looks kinda short.
My dots are on the way . I just wanted some extra hooks.
Hope you enjoy them
Where do you get them?

@@Mary-si5zh thank you
Where do you get these?
once I tried my first Clover Amour..I was hooked & for me nothing else can compare..even the Furls..the very first Furl acrylic ‘Birthday Sparkle’ hook I purchased .. came cracked at the head..customer service was great at replacing it..but it was a total thumbs down disappointing experience for me..just my two cents 🥹🧶💕
I was going to follow you, but it looks like you haven’t been on for a year, let me know if you’re still on 😊
Hold a stitch marker
🙌🏻
