I love that you all are so passionate about your hooks! Just remember we are all different and that's ok. Just please be respectful of everyone's opinions.
Ha i wouldnt say im passionate im Cheap! My plain aluminum hooks came from china under 5 and are great. Couldnt spend a lot on a hook. But happy for those who dont care about the price.
Are they made in China? That might answer your question, why they don't smooth the hook before packaged
Awesome review Jennifer. Up until 3 years ago I was a Boye and SB aluminum hook girl(45+ years). I couldn’t justify the cost of a Furls. I think that they had a awesome sale so I decided to try them out and started with an Ebony streamline and an Andromeda streamline. I wasn’t sold on the resin but fell in love with the wood. I very quickly bought the entire set ( through sales) and somewhere along that journey I bought an Odyssey. I hated the weight of it but kept using it. Now I am a forever Furls crocheter, so much so that they recently sent me a coupon as I’m now considered a “Collector.”My favorite is the Odyssey but I do use my streamlines when the yarn needs a hook that is less slick. My hands never get tired. I’ve never had a hook break. Yes Furls cost a lot of money but they are an investment in the craft that I am passionate about and I am worth it, lol.
That last part you said, “I am worth it”, I had a problem with that for a long time. I never thought I deserved to buy myself a thing. I always gave to others. Cinnamon helped give me courage to finally buy a set of Furls , as I too couldn’t justify the price of them before. Took my spouse passing away for me to realize I am worth it.
I want to also mention, the sticking/dragging of the Yarn ID could be the yarn, not the hook. I have worked with this yarn a lot and I found that no matter what hook/needle I use, it drags a lot
I clean all my knitting needles and hooks in alcohol every once in a while. It really helps! And thanks for the review!
Thoughts after your excellently thorough review: I have never used this type or shape of hook but I know for sure I don't tend to like working with plasticky hooks (because they do come with draggage). I prefer wood or bamboo. Your review helped me realize that i crochet with a pencil technique and this could be a major gamechanger. I always fumble and struggle with hooks that are not straight (like a pencil). However, I think the shape of these hooks could work for me. I might purchase and try the Boye hooks to test the shape. However, I stand by my belief that a bargain or value isn't determined by dollars alone. The hooks we actually use are the ones that work and feel the best. If I won't use a hook it is a complete waste. So, I've decided that if the shape works for me, I will invest in the Furls!
I read this and couldn't help laughing. Proof that we all experience things differently:
You: plastic/resin has drag but I love wood and bamboo
Me: no matter how pretty they are, I hate working with wood and bamboo hooks because of all the drag (yes, even furls streamlined hooks).
I will say that the furls streamlined swirl hooks (resin) don't feel plasticky at ALL! They are as smooth as resin can be (not as smooth as metal) and are really great for chunky roving yarns and chenille yarns).
I concur with your statement about hooks you don't use being a waste.
I've bought custom hooks and other hooks that people have LOVED but couldn't stand them so the extra money I spent didn't make them more valuable to me.
I sold them and bought my favorite tulip hooks instead.
Thank you! I appreciate the honesty in comparisons of the hooks. I just cannot spend the money on a Furls at this time but someday I hope to. Now I have more information!
So happy you take your time to do this for those of us that don't go out much. Blessed day to you. 🦜
Learned something new today! Clean my crochet hooks! Who knew! I appreciate these videos and appreciate you!
Thank you for the review. I purchased the plastic dollar store hooks and believe it or not the are one of my favorites and I don’t usually like plastic. Your review has convinced me to give these a try. Maybe 🤔 I will try the small hooks first. 😊. I will remember all your tips and the tips in the comments.. thank you 😊 for everything 🤗
Furls are the most wonderful hooks I have ever used. I have very bad arthritis and I can crochet with furls like crazy. I was afraid to try them for a Long time but boy when I did it changed my world. Furls is also an amazing company with great customer service. Can't say enough great things about them. And I've always been a boye hook fan.
Thank you for your review of these hooks. I can see the difference between them and Furls. I have 2 Furls,an Oddessy and a wooden one. I like them but I also like my Clover hooks.
Thank you for reviewing these hooks! I was curious and now I have enough information to decide. Appreciate it greatly! 👍😁
Thanks for the review. I have a set of aluminum Boye hooks, but I’ve never tried a Furls hook.
I am making a poncho using the J hook. I really like my new hook. It doesn't feel like some of my older plastic hooks. I went back and bought the other sizes they had in the store.
I am so glad that I watched this video. I almost bought one of these. Thank you!!! I agree about Joanne's. They can be sneaking with the pricing.
Thank you for your review! I saw these in the store and saw the flaws immediately close up! I get what Boye is trying to do, and they could have made a really good inexpensive hook, but they used cheap materials and a cheap manufacturing process. I have the 4 pack of Susan bates acrylic hooks that are better quality!
I'm pencil holder crocheter have always used Boyle I purchased a Susan bates soft ergonomic hook and its long between the soft handle and the hook part. Not pleases with it for 6.99. I guess because I have been using other ergonomic hooks and the shank it shorter.Cant belive I used to use the metal hooks for over 40 years and now they seem awkward to us. Thanks Jennifer for the review great information 👍 😀 💥👍👍
Jennifer, you and I share the exact same opinions on almost all hook and yarn reviews. I was refusing to get the Furls until just recently because I thought they looked uncomfortable and the shaft didn't seem straight to me (like it would stretch the stitches maybe). I tried the Odyssey and now I want one in every size. Expensive but so worth it if you're serious about crochet and you have the means to spend more on your craft. I have also tried the wooden hooks and I like them a lot too. I prefer the heavier weight of the Odyssey though, which I didn't expect. Thanks for this review. As always, your honest/unbiased opinions are so appreciated!
I love Clover hooks but I ordered some Furls after watching your videos. I am so excited to get them. I can’t wait to try them out. I really appreciate your reviews and opinions on hooks and yarn.
Just got clover hooks larger sizes for thicker yarns, a gift from my son, love them ....
You might want to try the Prym ergo hooks. I have them in the large sizes. They are smoother and more comfy than the large clover amour hooks. Frankly, they are cheaper too.
And they have this same furls streamlined shape.
REALLY light.
I don't normally use plastic hooks but finding metal hooks in large sizes that aren't really heavy is near impossible.
So plastic and resin are my only solution.
The furls streamlined swirl hooks and the prym ergo in the large sizes have made me put away both sets of clover armour large hooks. I'll probably end up selling them.
Furls is worth the price. They are high quality hooks. There have been a couple of times that I've gotten a defective hook, but Furls made it so easy to exchange them. Their customer service is exceptional.
Not affordable for those on a budget though. I will say they are pretty. But 20 for 1 hook is a bit crazy.
Actually she said they were even more expensive def not affordable at all.
@@jaymielee1110 I didn't say they were affordable. Just that they are worth the price if you're able to pay it. I always wait until there's a sale or use a promo code from someone with an affiliate code. These are just my opinions. I wasn't trying to offend anyone.
Thank you for such an honest review. I have been wanting to try these. I do not have the money to buy everything new that comes out. I need ergonomic hooks and I usually get regular boye hooks and I buy the 2” equate self adhering elastic bandage and wrap it to my own needs. Dollar Tree sells the same bandage, but you get a better deal at Walmart. I can make it feels just like my furls and the bandage helps with the grip of my hook. My furls hook has that same squeak. It’s not a loud and I kind of don’t mind it. When you changed to the yellow hook, I noticed that the head has a dramatic change from the tip to the width to 8mm. I wish they had a gradual change. I guess that’s why I like the streamline design. I always clean my tools before I use them. The machines they use to make them always has residue. You are right cleaning is a must.
Loved your comparison! I have some Furl hooks! Odyssey love them! Your hands don't get tired! Thanks for the review!
First question, why would you buy a 5.75mm hook?
Why not?
And that's their "J", compared to other brands where a J is 6.0 mm. Confusing.
@@CinnamonStitches I've never seen a pattern written that calls for a 5.75mm hook.
@@CinnamonStitches I wasn't trying to sound mean, u just couldn't understand why they would make that size of a hook. It just sounds like a strange size.
Truth be known, the f
Difference between a 5.5 and a 5.75, or a 5.75 and a 6m hook is minimal. It's a quarter of a millimeter. It makes no difference in the pattern whatsoever.
When I first started crocheting many moons ago, I used both Boye and Susan Bates metal hooks…about 4 yrs ago I got information on Furls hooks…I order 1 purple Odyssey hook and fell in love with it…I have 7 purple Odyssey hooks, 3 white Odyssey hooks, 3 red Odyssey hooks and 3 navy blue Blue Odyssey hooks…I can literally crochet for hours without any hand pain whatsoever…I have smaller sized Tulip hooks that I use if the pattern calls for a hook smaller than 4MM…I keep trying to purchase smaller sizes in Furls but they are difficult to come by…I figured that the Boye resin hooks would catch the yarn….the one thing I’ve got to think is that Furls is not going to be happy to see the Boye hooks since they are so similar in shape to the Streamline hooks that Furls has….the Odyssey hooks are a bit pricey ($33 for the nickel coated hooks-silver; $66 for the gold plated hooks) but at $33 per hook they are an investment that I think of your doing a tremendous amount of crocheting to me it’s worth it….thank you for your honest review Jennifer…I really think you gave each Boye hook a good go and an absolutely honest review….I think for beginner hooks these might be a good start for people and also with the current economic conditions and people needing to save money.
Thanks Jennifer for this video. I was curious since I love my Furls too. They really help reduce my hand pain & allow longer crochet time for me. I have had the tip of my size G Furls resin hook break off from crocheting tight cotton stitches but the great thing is Furls will replace them for you. 💜🧶
Thanks for your honest opinion.
Furls are the best, but if you don’t want to spend that & want that same shape & style like furls, the prym hooks at Michael’s are fabulous, I used those before I got my streamline resin swirls.
I love that you go in depth of your thoughts and give ways to make them work better
Great review. Thanks Jennifer. Makes decisions for many so much more informed.
I am so glad I found this episode!
I learned 50 years ago on a G Susan Bates metal hook because that’s what my mother always used. She crocheted everything she made using that size hook, she never owned any other size. Years after I learned, I bought a Boye and didn’t like it. Only 4 years ago did I switch to ergonomic hooks because of my older hands. I have an Odyssey but will regift it as it is too long for me. This was a good review.
Divit Shilp makes are an inline hooks. Got them on Amazon.
I’m also a Susan Bates girl. It is interesting how much there is a Iike/dislike on such a small, simple tool.
What a great review. From your review, I know I won't like them. I am spoiled though, because also from your other reviews, I tried Furls. The Furls resin isn't my jam, but using them caused me to try the Furls metal hooks and I LOVE THEM. They are heavy, but they are a thing of beauty to work with. I struggle with that drag and squeek on any plastic hook, so know these would drive me batty. Thank you!
Ha ha! I'm a Twilight fan too! Still watch it when I catch it on.
I never knew about cleaning and rubbing the 'stuff' off some hooks. Totally makes sense now that I heard you say it. 🤪
This was such a great review Jennifer. I have used Boye hooks for umpteen years lol 😂. I now use their ergonomic hooks and love them although they slow me down. But I have arthritis and need relief for my hands. I personally don’t like plastic hooks so I’m not sure I would like these. I would however try one based on your review because I’m curious on the comparison of the shape to a Furls . Thank you again Jennifer 💜💜
Thanks for the review. Won’t waste my money on those. I don’t like plastic hooks, and these have too many flaws. Love your reviews❣️
Hi Jennifer. I read the twilight books, 9 times, because I loved how Stephanie Meyer writes. People thought I was crazy. Lol
Your video just makes me appreciate my investment in the Furls hook sets I have bought over the last couple of years. My fingers are longer than average so I love the length!
I have never used plastic or resin hooks. All of my hooks are metal. Thank you for the comparison! Have a wonderful day and stay safe!
I love my Furls, I have resin and wood. I have large hands and furls fit my hands perfectly.
Thanks for the review. I’ve tried these same hooks and have the Boye pink (J) 5.75. My other J hooks are 6.0mm. My favorite hooks are Furls and Clover Amour. The ergonomic teardrop shaped Boye hook feels very plastic-y not at all like the Furl Streamline Swirl (resin)hooks. The Boye resin hook had several spots I had to sand down to remove the jagged edges of the mold joins.
I'm very fortunate. I can use any hook. I use plastic, lite hooks, Dollar Tree, Aluminum Boye or Susan Bates, steel with no name brand, wood or bamboo, it doesn't matter.
The only thing that matters to me is the weight of the handle. I prefer solid hooks with no separate handle, but I use the Lite hooks just fine with no issues because the handle itself has no added weight.
Furls are nice hooks and they work wonders for the right people! But for me, they don't justify the cost because most are too heavy for me to use anyway.
But honestly, I love all the hooks and can appreciate each of them for their own respective purposes
Counting on someone to gift me from Santa, but I will put on my “wish list” Furls or Ommi hooks. Thanks for your comparisons. I learned a lot!
I appreciate your honesty. Thanks Jennifer!!
That's so nice of you to show these hooks in a side by side comparison. I like the metal hooks myself, but it's nice to k ow that Boye has a cheaper version of the fuels, if I ever decide to try the resin hooks. Thank you Jenn!
Thanks for the review. I saw these at Joann's and started to buy one with my 40% off coupon. I'm glad I waited. 😊
Hi Jennifer. You are so stinking cute. I love listening to you. I so want a furls hook. But I am not a fan of plastic hooks, at all. So I will pass on these, and wait to get an odyssey hook, from furls. Thank you very much, for doing this review. Love you.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thank for the comparison. Have a blessed day 🙏
I’ve never tried the Boye hooks, but I’m going to get them to see if I like it! Thank you for showing them to us!
Love my furls streamline wooden hooks!!!!! My hands love them😘😘😘😘
I’m one who can not afford a Furl’s hook so I might try one of the Boye hooks. Thank you for this review!
Thanks for the review and honesty. The squeak would immediately send it to the trash for me. No, no and NO.
I learned 48 yrs ago on an aluminum G Susan Bates hook. And used that one hook for EVERYTHING until I was old enough to know better. I was 8 😬. Still have it ☺️
I personally am not a fan of Boye at all. Watching you crochet, there was just too much struggle. I crochet pretty fast and the last thing I'd want is resistance. But not a fan of plastic hooks either way.
I may someday try a Furls, I've heard good and bad about them. But I would absolutely hate to spend that kind of money to find I didn't like to work with it. 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you again.
Have a super day. Stay safe, stay healthy.
Interesting.. nice of you to give us a report on the hooks.. might be something to consider. Thank you. 🧶🧶🧶
I didn’t know …cleaning could make a difference…thank you for that!
Wondering if it makes the same difference with knitting needles…will try that 😊
Dear Cinnamon,
I have looked and ran and looked and ran away from Furls and their hooks. YOU gave me the nerve to buy a set. I could only afford 3 but lucked out that they were still on sale for the set. Resin polYmers can vary. Furls uses a high quality resin mix, and more detail in the finishing. Thank you Cinnamon 🙏🏽🥰
Prym hooks can also be an alternative though they to are long but have flatish side that might be okay for pencil and knife crocheters. You can find a lot of similar hooks that other companies have mimicked on Amazon too. Prym ones can be found at Michaels, Etsy and Amazon. Great video as always and have seen similar hooks at Joann's when I went for a book but the ones I seen, I don't think it was boys because they I didn't see those colors. 🤔 Well it was fun and an interesting comparison.
I'm not allowing myself to read the comments until i see all of your review.
I bought these in the sizes available, but haven't taken them out of their packages because i wasn't sure about it yet.
It might be possible to (gently) sand off those mold seam lines; I've done that to smooth rough bits on my bamboo hooks.
I didn’t know they made a Furls knockoff. I will have to check them it. Thanks for the video.
jennifer.. I have arthritis so bad, and the girls hooks are my favorite. For some reason the odessey is the best even though its heavy. I will always save up to buy my Fuels hooks. I feel you did an excellent review, anx d they are a viable option for people who just can't afford the Furls. Thank you for the review.
The Boye hooks are injection molded. I don’t have these particular hooks but I have had some of their plastic hooks in the past. The injection molding process leaves a raised line where the mold closes and a little bit of the filling seeps out between the mold plates.
When you were clinking them they sounded just like their plastic hooks. Much different then the resin in the Furls hooks.
I love to hear you honest opinions, thank you so much!!!!
I have the pink boye hook, it did squeak at first but it went away as i used it, i would recommend getting this hook if you want to try the shape or material but cant justify the price of the furls hooks
Thanks for this comprehensive review. I really hate those air bubbles and would never fully trust such a hook. For ergonomic Boyes I prefer their interchangeable handle which can be used with regular run of the mill aluminium hooks. I have used one for years now and I wouldn't be without it.
Thanks for that good comparison 😊 I'm learning alot and have only tried a couple of hooks, but so far the regular boye I like. I like plastic & metal hooks from boye if they don't catch because of being sharp, like the Susan bates I tried..but I'm learning 😊I'm really wanting to try one of the furls hooks like yours..they have such beautiful colors.. thanks bunches Jennifer ⚘👍 I really appreciate you🌷
Gm Jen, I’ve clover amour, Prym n just bought furls but I love the Prym n reach for those first. Thx for the review. I still use Boye but the bigger sizes now.
I'd like to try them sometime, the prym, I mean. I have yarnolgy hooks and I love them! I use them all the time even if I have other kind of hooks.
@@lizzieturbeville4089 I’ve Yarnology ones also, those with the flowers and love them just as much.
@@preciousbeautyj1043 those are the ones, with the flowers. I didn't really care for them at first..... But it's different now. 😃
I'm glad about this review. I wouldn't buy Furls but I am willing to experiment with different shapes and somewhat materials after finding I had no problem with the plastic of light-up hooks. I use wooden hooks occasionally but mostly I end up with the cheap metal hooks (15 cents each) I started learning with. I use pencil grip and only had mild pain in my wrist after working 5 hours with a yarn that was more like felt. "Standard" acrylic has never caused me a problem even when crocheting a whole day.
Good morning Jennifer. Thank you for comparing hooks. I'm there with you ,I'll stay with the furls hooks. I know that sweaking would drive me crazy.
I bought one of those Boye hooks in size H two or three weeks ago. I made a hat with it. I fell in love with how light and the feel of the shape and length in my hand. The seem was no trouble, and I thought this was a good way to see what the Furls felt like. However, it did feel like cheap plastic, and there was drag on the yarn. I had trouble with splitting the yarn too, but I looked forward to using it again with a different yarn. Sadly, I put it in a pencil pocket of my backpack with a couple clover hooks. Yep, some of the hook tip broke off rendering it useless. So, big caution.... don't treat those like a metal hook. I still can't decide if I will spring for a streamline Furls. These are way more delicate than I am used too, and it is a lot of money to spend, only to discover the head isn't suitable for me.
Thank you for this demonstration and I hope you return them and get your money back.
thank you for the review of the Boye hooks and now I will get one to try
Saw the Boye hooks in my Joanns and felt like they looked like Furls knock offs. Wasn’t interested at the time and your review confirms my decision. Thanks for taking ur time and $$$ to make this video
My favorite hook is Susan Bates with the thin brown rubber grip....I recently found the whole set at JoAnnns....I was one happy hooker😆👍
Good morning Jennifer. I bought plastic Boye hooks yrs a g o and wasn't a fan at all as they broke easy. Also these were made just like the metal hooks. I love my Furl hook. I believe the Furls are solid and being a bit longer yes they would be slightly heavier. It was a long time making the decision to invest in the Furl due to the price. I always buy during sales too in order to save. I also only buy from Joanns and others when what I want is on sale. That's just how I roll. Thanks for doing your review. I love your honesty.
The hook with a bubble on the tip, sounds more like "flash", which is excess material left on the product that wasn't trimmed away before shipping. I used to work in a factory with plastic molding machines and part of my job was to make sure there wasn't any excess on the parts and to trim them. Flash is rough too, so yarn might snag.
Thank you very much for this revue, I can't do pencil grip either!
But, having pretty bad arthritis and nerve damage from spinal arthritis, I have to be very careful of which hooks I use!
Since I can't imagine my life without crochet, I appreciate knowing about the different hooks before I waste my meager funds!
I saw the Boye resin hooks today @ my local Joanns and passed on it because the head is not pointed as much as the Furls. Looks like you had no trouble after cleaning the residue away. Thank you for doing the comparison. And I too can watch Twilight over and over, LOL.
I’m in love with the odyssey hooks. Was having trouble just crocheting until I tried one. I buy them when there on sale. For me they made all the difference, I also use the pencil grip.
Thanks for taking the hit for us 😄. Furls look so pretty and I have one, but I'm not a fan. I do prefer customised metal hooks with fat polymer handles these days. I don't think we'll be able to get the Joanne ones in the UK.
I have an acrylic addi and it's really good quality so I would recommend that to anyone wanting an alternative acrylic hook.
I am glad you did the review, it helped me understand.
You are great I enjoy all your video's
I heart the squeaking sound!! That would drive me nuts!! Thanks for the review! We all appreciate it so much!!
A LOT of squeaking can be fixed by rubbing the hook through your hair at your scalp. This lightly oils the hook.
Even high end hooks, after a lot of use, and with certain yarns, can use a little extra oil.
Thank you for the comparison. I appreciate it.
Thank you, Ms. Jennifer! 😸 Always appreciate what you share 👍🙏
I think yarnology has a similar shape too. Always good to have other opinions.
Thanks Jennifer 😊
Thanks for sharing. Will have to try the hooks to see how the shape of it feels in my hand.
Hi Jennifer thank u for doing a video on the new hooks at JoAnns .. I was going to order some I rather pay the 24 dollars at Furls !!!🙂🙂❤❤
Great review. I'm still trying to get used to my Furl's hooks but I do see and hear the diff of the Boye hooks. Totally agree if you want to try, try the Boyes first. TFS 💜
I had a metal hook that snagged. I took my Dremel and took it and smoothed it out
I have complete sets of Furls hooks in the resin and, of course, the Odyssey. Love my hooks and have several of some of my favorite sizes. My next favorite hook is my Cl9ver and then Tulip.
I use ergonomic hooks, and I have not tried Furls because I questioned the shape. I will keep my eye out for the Boye version to give that shape a try.
I don’t like the Boyd heads. So that’s why I wouldn’t use these. I love Furls because they r a lot luke Susan Bates. I’m a true in-line girl. I use SB when I need to, but mainly use Odyssey and the stream line swirls. PS I did take advantage of the flash sale yesterday. 16 bucks a hook. Great deal. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day!!!
Thanks Jennifer !
Thanks for the review. My faves are Clover Amour and Hobby Lobby hooks with bamboo handles.
I'm a Boye girl and I do own Furls. My pet peeve is squeak and drag. I probably won't buy these as I really really don't need any hooks. But I also say that about yarn lol.🤗
I use aluminum boye but mostly because I started out on aluminum or metal of some sort I can't remember brand. It was along time ago. I have tried some ergonomic that I have not liked. I got some slide on handle cushion that are ok cause I can position them. I don't have a furl but have want to try one so I think I will get one to try or maybe try one of these for reference but that might not be good way to go. Ok one furls hook for Christmas from hubby. Thank you so much for doing this. Hugs
I many different hooks. My furls resin broke on day one. I replaced it, but never use it. It squeaks badly. I went up in price and bought the furls Odyssey - several sizes. I never use them - heavy and awkward. So - I switch between clover amours and regular old metal hooks - I have both Boye and SB. I also have some lovely wooden hooks that I use for certain patterns.
Hi Jennifer
So on the hooks that you got from Jo-ann's and there's snagging and there was a rough spot why can't you take like a little file to it or a little sandpaper to it into staying down the rough spots. I am just aking a Big huge question because I'm sure there's people out there that already bought those quick shade hooks.
Your FRIEND NANETTE From FLORIDA 🏝🏜👍 THANKS HAVE A AWESOME CROCHET DAY 🧶
I don't like Furls for pencil grip because the shaft is really long. I can see how it looks comfortable in the hand while holding it, but when I'm moving quickly, I feel like my movements have to go further because of the shaft. This goes for Prym too, which is think is also a good "practice purchase" if you want to try Furls. I can see these hooks may be an okay alternative for people who like Furls! I still may get one just because of the colors lol.
Love your review. I learned on Susan Bates and only tried one other hook and was very awkward.
