- First off, I am not sponsored by Furls. 2 of my hooks were gifts from the wonderful, and beautiful Robbie. The 3rd hook was a surprise gift from Mr Cinnamon.
Hooks featured in this video are Furls Streamline, Furls Streamline Swirl, and Furls Odyssey. The prices are listed in the video.
Here is a link to the website.

Again. not sponsored. they dont even know I am making this video.
Also, the opinions in this video are my own. my honest opinions. I do not expect you to substitute my judgement for your own.
As I am uploading this video, I am actually using the Andromeda hook. And its way better on a smoother yarn. I am quite enjoying working with it. I even had to frog an hours worth of work, and was able to make up the work in just 20 minutes with this hook. I will probably update my review of the Resin hook, at a later date. After I work with it more and really get to know it. Its so pretty and it does feel good in my hand. and of course, I am using Premier yarns with it.. makes a huge difference.
Thank you for watching my review.

FURLS are the reason I was able to get back into crochet. I have carpal tunnel and some arthritis and my hands hurt so bad I had stopped crocheting. I bought 2 of the wood Streamline hooks and I LOVE mine! I can now crochet for hours without all the pain, ergonomic hooks are a life saver!
I am saving for a G...lol
I'm hoping they help me..my hands are killing me this week. But I just want to crochet.
I just want to say thank you... I've seen many people who rave about the Furl's...but they have affiliate links or whatever... and never know - IS this an honest review or are they selling something? You told us outright that you would never spend that much $ on a hook - which I can TOTALLY relate to... And you told us the good AND the bad (which none that I have seen have done)... So, THANK YOU....I truly appreciate your honesty...And I'm really starting to love your channel :D
After 45 years of crocheting I decided to splurge and bought a couple of Furls streamline hooks last Thanksgiving during a sale. I loved them so much that I now own a full set of multi colored Odyssey hooks, a full set of wooden streamlines, a few Swirls (Cafe, Andromeda, Holly and Blue acrylic). I’ve purchased all of them during sales. I’m very lucky that I have the income to afford these hooks but they will be my go to hooks for ever. And they have a lifetime guarantee. I wish I hadn’t waited so long to try them. No more tired achy hands ( I use a pencil grip). Which hook I use depends on the yarn. So glad to see you building your collection Jennifer.
I have 3 Furls hooks. I have a white rose gold Odyssey. It was a gift. I love it! I have two wooden Streamlines (Cafe Swirl). Also beautiful. Love looking at them and working with them.
I'm really loving the furls. They are so nice to work with
You are right about being nervous about the resin Streamlines. I ordered 5 of them. One came with a chipped tip, and the other broke with minimal use on the same day. they were size 5mm and 5.5mm. I returned the whole lot. I was disappointed because they were pretty and they did work well until they broke. But they do break so easily. Buyer beware!!
Love your daughter's sweater 😊💝! Thank you for your awesome review on your beautiful, new hooks! Please keep us updated on what you think about them as you continue to use them with different types of yarn & different projects. Hope you continue to feel better sweet girl 🙏✝💝😊!!!
Loving that cardigan! The colors are fabulous
Thank you for the review! I have never touched a hook that looks like any of those 🤷♀️😉 I inherited my Moms hook, most of them are from the 60s and 70s☺️ Peace and Love Always, Lorri 💜💙💚💛🧡❤
Thanks for the hook reviews. Love your Premier Yarn shirt.
Best Review EVER!!!!! OMG, I love those Hooks hopefully one day I can afford one. Thank you for the review it is very important to me because I'm always crochet gifts. I love crochet dish and washcloths for gifts, preemie hats to donate. OMG! Your husband is AMAZING!!! Love the hook he bought you!!! And the person who gifted you the Odessy hook is an Angel he or she is pure AWESOMENESS! Thank you so much for share such vital hook information and yes it is very important how you feel about these hooks because I want to buy one day. I want to start making hats and lap blanket for our retiring home near me to donate. Thank you again and happy crocheting! Have you heard of The Hook Nook their hooks are supposed to be affordable with Joann coupon let us know if you get would love to hear your insight? Jessica Carey made that whole line of crochet tools.
I just bought 2 of the cafe streamline hooks. An I and a J. Super excited!!!
Thanks for the review on the different Furls hooks. I hope one day to buy one so your reviews on the different ones will help me make a decision on what one.
I'm spoiled. I bought one of the Furl hooks...the wooden one. I was amazed that my hands didn't hurt after a while of crocheting. In fact, I can now crochet for hours without stopping from hand pain. One of the best investments I've ever made!
Beautiful hooks. The Campfire Cardigan you made your daughter is so cute. I love the sound of your wind chimes. I have one by my bedroom window and I love the sound
Thank you for talking about the pros and cons of wood crochet hooks😊
I own 1 furls and use it very rarely. great reviews
Thank you for the review. Your cardigan is beautiful.
Hi Jennifer. Thank you so much for my holiday card. There was no need to send one back. I just wanted to thank you for all you do but I did love it all the same. Happy crocheting. Love the sweater. ❤🎊👍
Beautiful hooks. I used to use regular metal hooks with no problems but when I started having problems with my arthritis I had to change things up. Thank you for demonstrating new hooks.
This was the most honest and informative review I have ever seen. Thank you so much. From now on, your reviews will be significant to me. I am so impressed by your perceptive and honest approach to the use and construction of the hooks. You have given your honest perspective of form and function. That really bears weight on why I should buy and use them. Thank you so much. GOOD JOB. WONDERFUL JOB. EXCELLENT JOB. Your analysis was amazing.
Thank you so much. 💜
I'm *so* chuckling at you not following pattern. I think it's been 40 years since I actually did everything by a pattern. A pattern is just great inspiration! Once you get going ideas just roll!
Can hear the chimes very faintly...so pretty!!!
Thanks Jennifer! Mr. Cinnamon is such a wonderful hubby!! I have seen videos of people using Furls and a a loose "pencil" grip.
Maybe someday!
Love love the cardigan!
This is my next crochet goal...thanks for your review.
I love my Furls Odyssey, they are beautiful and comfortable. They are a little more expensive but they are worth the investment. I had trouble with 5 of the 6 hooks I bought with defects on them. Furls sent a whole new batch and I didn't have to return the defected products!!! They are into customer satisfaction 100%!!
Thank you for a great and honest review. Enjoy your projects with them.
The sweater is beautiful!
thank you so much for this! i've been debating getting a furls hook for AGES and could never find a review that answers the questions i had, so this is exactly what i needed :)
Thank you for a great review! I watched a number of other reviews in hopes of seeing the hooks in action and no luck. This is the type of review I love seeing!
I have three Furls hooks; I started with a streamline 6.00mm b/c I was SO impressed by how light it was. After my carpal tunnel surgery I wanted to get back to crochet so badly but would not have been able to pick up the odyssey hook then. B/c of the price I went to a streamline swirl a year later; for my birthday I received an odyssey. I LOVE THESE HOOKS!!!!!! The price got me at first; yes. I could not agree more that when you find the one that works for your style it is like night & day. My family thinks I am bonkers but what else is new. Thank you for doing this review! :)
I have several of the resin hooks. It seems like the more I use them, the smoother and easier they are to use. I absolutely love them. They did take some getting used to.
I love love love Furls . I too had wanted some forever. I finally told my husband thatbifvhe could spend ten bucks a pack for cigarettes countless times a month, then I was going to spend forty bucks one month and get two of the streamline hooks that had just been out for about a month. There gave been loads more if them I would like to get but l have to wait till the time is right . My husband and I became homeless last year. Long story short, we lost everything I had for my whole life. Everything that I had worked for my whole life. I say me and mine cause when I met and married my husband he was homeless. The only thing he had to his name was his back pack and a black garbage bag with a few odds pieces of clothing. So when we lost everything, it didn't phase him a bit. Then a few months ago we lost our car. But at least I own the mobile home we live in now. We are slowly getting things for the house. And I know it's not important for my survival, but I want to get my streamline hooks replaced. The Andromeda is one I'm on live with and the red swirled one. I can never remember the name. But mainly, Furls are pricey but they are worth it. Every penny. Yeah, I can get some pretty plastic ones at Hobby lobby. And their real fancy ones are like eleven dollars, the larger size ones are more expensive, but compared to Furls, Furls wins hands down.
Beautiful hooks ... I actually collected 21 of the Furl’s hooks ... have been using them this month and crocheting 12 hours a day plus and they’re the ones I go for...
I’m beginning to see which ones work best with different fibers...
Oh my 21!! 😍😍
Vero’s Crochet Gifts I'm envious & going to buy my first....I had carpal tunnel surgery on both wrists & sometimes have issues with my wrists still.
Sherry Knowles - don’t be 😊 they’re not all they are worked up to be ... I like the wood ones best ... they’re light and work awesome
Aww what a sweet hubby!
I loved this video Jennifer! I forgot I had gotten an Odyssey and watching this video reminded me. I have to go dig it out and start using it again. I agree it is a great hook. Thanks so much for the very informative review:)
My hands hurt a lot with regular hooks and have been looking at wooden hooks. You have helped my decision! Gonna order a wooden Furls. Thank you!
I so desperately want a set of Furls Hooks😍I've been eyeballing them for a while lol I was just about to order 2 hooks right before Christmas and then my husband got laid off so couldn't. Hopefully one day! They are gorgeous and I love how in-depth you reviewed them especially about how they felt in your hand and how people with arthritis, etc may handle them.(I have RA& fibromyalgia so that was super thoughtful of you💕) Love your channel!
I have arthritis and the oddesy work best for me. They are weighted to make it easier.
Very good review! IF I we're going to spend that amount of money for a hook, I would get my most used size. I like the way you say they feel in your hand. I have arthritis and I think it would be comfortable. Thank you for sharing!💜
Very good review! Thank you 😊 I love hearing about your dog! 😂
I swear by Furls. They have helped my hands so much. So easy to work with. So nice to hold. Good quality and very pretty.
Thank you for that very thorough Furls Hooks review. It helps to see you actually crochet with them to really know how they work. I have been seeing quite a few of those hooks breaking and that seems to not really be a good product for the cost of them, irregardless of whether they replace them. Thanks again. 😊
Thanks so very much for the demo. I do now know i don’t like the acrylic one. But am definitely looking into getting a wooden one.
These Streamline Swirls hooks are amongst my prized possession and I'm so beyond thrilled to have discovered Them. Fantabulous!!!!!!!
Nice like the red 🥰ty for sharing 💚
I ordered my Furls Odyssey hook from the United States a while ago. The shipping to Germany takes ages. I can't wait to get my hands on them. 🤩
Great review video! Santa brought me an Odyssey and it was instalove! I then bought a resin model and don't like it as much. I do change up hooks per pattern and per yarn so it's nice to have so many options. Enjoy them!
Yippe Goodmorning Jennifer Love the shirt like the outcome this is really cute. 💕💓Christina btw: those hooks are gorgeous I always Dream of having one day.
I pencil grip so I know those aren't for me but I love seeing your reviews. Thank you Jennifer. You look better and sound better too, happy you're doing well.
I love the sweater! They are my 2 favorite colors!
I just bought a streamline wood and a streamline swirl. I haven't tried them yet. Will be inn the next couple days. Love the sweater. Have a wonderful day.
You are so cute, love the glasses! Thanks for sharing this video and that campfire sweater is adorable! Looking to buy a furl hook so chose this vid and glad I did. Thank you so much. Hope your carpal tunnel gets better and better with time. God bless.
I love that sweater
Thanks for the review- I haven't tried one . I have tried many different hooks (thrift store finds ) and I always go back to Susan Bates. They are gorgeous 😍
I am a knitter. And prefer wood to metal or acrylic needles.
liz2764 then you will love the streamline wooden ones ... they don’t break and work awesome and aren’t as pricey as the odyssey hooks
Vero’s Crochet Gifts thanks. Ill have to get me one.
Or two...or three...lol
Awesome review!! Now to get my Hubby to buy me some!😍
Good evening cinnamon my son bought me all three of the pearls I got the odyssey I got the swirl and I got the wooden one and they are beautiful and they are really good crochet hooks so thank you thank you very much for your detour your undies have a beautiful day God bless
Thanks for this great review, Jennifer. I know this video is old but I kept hearing and debating about buying Furls since I first heard about them 2 years ago. I'm super frugal so this was a tough decision for me. I watched so many videos and read so many blogs but THIS video gave me all the information I needed. I just ordered the Odyssey in all the sizes I use. I'm super excited! Yes, it's an investment (even with the new customer discount) but I figured that my love of crochet isn't going away after 40 years. Of course, this means I can't buy any yarn for 3 months since that ate my yarn budget 😀💰
Beautiful cardigan. The hooks are awesome. I can't wait to see what you create using the fuel hooks.
They are having a “Quarantine Special”. I ordered a hook and a skein of the gorgeous yarn and free patterns for $28 w/ free shipping. SWEET! I ordered two of the specials (different hook sizes and colors!). Cannot wait to get them next week!
me too !!! can't wait it... !
I'm happy with my Clovers but I'm glad you found something you enjoy. I've seen people do tutorials using Furls, and some of them have problems with the yarn staying on the hook, others are just fine. We have to find what works with our particular hands. Enjoy your new hooks, what a sweet husband.
I loved those really pretty swirl ones, but ur right I can't spend 160 bucks on those ones they have, but thank u for review, I'm gonna save for the 33 dollar ones, I love purple😜
Sleeves and I have issues in our relationship. For our daughters birthday I made her a crop sweater with criss cross sleeves. So I measured so many times (3min) and she tried it on and she looked like Edward Scissorhands ughhh. First your present shows how much he pays attention. To me it warms my heart. These hooks I've wondered about, but budget feel like woah. The acrylic is not my standard, but beautiful!!!!!!! Thank you for the review and chimes they sound so soothing! Happy day Jennifer!
Thank you for this review. Believe it or not I have been crocheting for 50+ years and never realized there was so much difference with hooks. 🥴🥴 I just received my first Furls Streamline Swirl and I love it! Saving for my 2nd.
Oh wow, I am never going to buy one but I am praying one day I can afford to so I am still watching lol
Yes and love both swirl and wooden streamline hooks haven’t tried a Odyssey one yet
Nice honest review. Thanks Jennifer. As an older woman with mild arthritis, I think I’ll stick with my old tried & true aluminum ergonomics. I think the heavy one would wear me out.
As far as Scarlet goes paint (or rub) cayenne pepper on whatever she chews that she shouldn’t. First take the cayenne & give her a sniff. Then spread it around! If she digs, pepper the ground too. Cayenne will not hurt her, it’s a deterrent. This advise is reputable from my old (retired, maybe passed) vet. You can also use jalapeño or red chili peppers. Anything that has a pungent smell & bad taste because dogs have several thousand times the scent & taste receptors we humans do. Another tip is to get a bottle of “stop bite.” It’s a nail polish type of solution that nail biters use. The taste is so bad & kinda stinging that it breaks the nail biting habit. (Don’t laugh) I put this stuff on my youngest who refused to give up sucking his thumb. Had him broke within two days! It won’t hurt Scarlet in the least. Paint your Furls hook you use. Once she get the taste in her mouth you’ll be able to put the hook in front of her & she’ll run!! Just a little advice from a puppy mama of 50 yrs. Be blessed & btw, the sweater is fantastic. You did a great job! The colors are perfect together, she’ll be proud to wear it 😃
Hey girl, you’re looking better. Hope you’re feeling it. X
Because of you, I ordered an Odessey. I love it and I agree with you. I really, really live it.
Thank you for showing us the furls hooks, I wouldn't pay that price either lol, but they are a vision of beauty.
I love that cardigan! That is so me! I can't seem to crochet 2 sleeves the same or 2 booties or 2 of anything! You are so funny! A Rabbit Trail! These are pretty hooks!
I broke down and bought one of the streamlines (the color coral/turquoise one like you have) when they were on sale last fall. It is pretty and I like it with slick yarn but no substitute for my Clovers!!
Oh I dream big. I bought one hook, the streamline and I do love it. It is so beautiful and sleek and the finish is amazing. I used to refinish wood furniture and never accomplished that fine a finish, The closest I came was repeat applications of varnish with OO steel wool sanding between coats. I have the same problem with snagging on some of those cheaper yarns that do not have a good twist on the yarn. I use Susan Bates which is an in-line hook. I notice when you go into the stitch you go in point first. On the in line you will see it starts to go in right at the end on the back part. I insert the hook from the back where in starts to go in instead of point first. It doesn't hang yarn up on the hook part. I changed to the in-line cuz it takes less wrist action, I broke my wrist and didn't have insurance so just used a brace, but lost the range of motion in my wrist It doesn't bend without much pain. I was danged if I was going to give up crocheting, Just and Idea to try. Love your channel.
I love the look of the Furls odysee. I have never used a furls.
Thank you for your honest review. My dog once chewed up a favorite circular knitting needle wooden tips. He got into my knitting bag. Best to keep your hooks in the box or some puppy proof container. 🐶
They are beautiful 😍
It's beautiful I never follow exact on patterns I'm always changing it up. Sleeves scare me lol. Great job love the colors
Hi your sweater so beautiful and I love the color you pick and the hooks are so beautiful
I am loving the CARDIGAN!!! Cinnabon! Child, I agree, I will be trying my hand at the same cardigan, and I am intimidated a little bit. Your wind chimes sound so beautiful, you’re going to make me go purchase some chimes. Love all the various colors of the furls hooks! I spent $25.00 per hook for my Etsy hooks.
Thanks for the review.Might try one
I have one of the Furls wood hooks, I won it in a giveaway. I tried to crochet some thin yarn with it, I just didn't care for the yarn. Thank you for the review Jennifer.
Enjoyed this review. A bit pricey. I just invested in the clover hooks when they were on sale and really loving them. I would probably try one of these just to see. The red one caught my eye the most. Thank you. ❤
Deborah Comrie I couldn’t use the furl andromeda. The clovers are a better hook for me.
Hi Jennifer, That is so funny, I have the same hook but my hook is a J. I'm not a fan of furls, well I had to modify the hooks to use them. Love your daughters sweater.
That hook is gorgeous.
Don’t worry about it,,,it is beautiful
Great review. I do not have any of the three hook you reviewed. I do want to try all of them.
Nice review. Thanks!
These are beautiful I have been using clover and I really love those and they feel wonderful in the hand. I would love to try these. Maybe someday LOL
First, I love love love your daughter's sweater!!! It's beautiful and the colors are gorgeous together! Now onto the furls hooks. Thank you for doing this review. Like you, I have seen many recommendations for them but no reviews. I'm on very limited income due to a disability. And I have problems with both hands, wrists, well all the way up to and including the neck. Not related to my disability. To me, crochet is my mental therapy and how I get through my days. I have to use ergonomic hooks. I have clover hooks, not the soft touch ones, and I love them. I thought of them as an investment. But of course, there could be something more comfortable, right? I bit the bullet and spent the money to get 2 of the streamline variety. I got size I in cream and size H in cookie. I have used the H more, but I can't say that I am really impressed with either. Maybe in time, they will grow on me. Thank you for the head's up about the Odyssey being heavier. I was going to save up for one of those, but I wouldn't be able to deal with the weight issue. And I'm just not sure about the solid wood hooks. Oh, and like you, I'm a little concerned about the tip flexibility of the acrylic hooks. Thanks again, Jennifer!
Beautiful sweater!.💓Just love your videos you are a true sweetheart thanks for sharing !
Thank you so much
Nice review! I have several of the wooden hooks (not the streamline) that I asked for for Christmas from Furls. I love those hooks. There are some yarns that I don’t use the wood with because of some dragging. My favorite metal is the Etimo. I’m definitely going to try the Furls metal from your review. I also recently purchased an resin from Furls but haven’t had a chance to use it yet. There are a lot of you tubers that rave about the Clover Amour which I also have. Those are the last hooks in my collection that I use. To each his own I guess. 🧶
I have one Odyssey and multiple wood streamlines as well as multiple streamline swirls. The Odyssey is a bit heavy for me so I use it only on certain projects with particular yarn but I agree, slippery yarn is difficult with it. I have had hooks break but never while crocheting, I dropped a couple resin ones directly on their tips on my hard tile floor. Furls replaced them immediately. That said, we are talking about 2 hooks out of probably 15 hooks. The wood streamlines I have found become smoother as I use them. They also feel soft in the hand but I do oil them so they don't dry out. The streamline swirls are wonderful. I know you are leery of the give in the tip but I have had wonderful luck with them. They are very smooth and I get going almost as fast with them as I do the Odyssey hook but it was a learning curve with shaft being longer and the hook being sharp. I did 2 puff hats and 2 cluster scarves with the swirls and once I was used to the yarn and the hook together I had very few problems with it splitting or catching. I hope you find you enjoy them all eventually. I have been thinking of making a video of my favorite supplies for my different hobbies and these hooks will definitely be in the list! Edited to add: Furls has a video of hand exercises to help loosen up the hands and minimize pain. furlscrochet.com/pages/crochet-hand-exercises
I have the same wooden one you have. I'm a Boyde fan. Been using them since I was a child. Took me a while to get used to the Furls. The more you use it the smoother the sharp hook gets.
I love my Furl's hooks. I have some of each of the Odyssey, streamline, and resin. I'm using a resin hook right now with bernat velvet yarn and it's so easy!! Furl's had some great sales, so watch out for them!
On the Hook Crochet did a hooks review. Thanks for review!
Beautiful hooks
Furl’s Odyssey crochet hooks are on my wishlist!! I want the blue ones SO bad!!!!!!
I have two blue ones. I love them. 🥰
I always wanted to win a Furls Odyssey hook. The Furls Odyssey hook is on my wishlist too.
Jen I love all my furls hooks yes hooks I have all sizes of the streamline in green and all sizes in oddesy a variety of colors yes very expensive but worth the money💚💚💚
The streamline I have are the swirl ones
Thank you for your review on the Furls hooks. I’ve often wondered if they were worth the expense.
Already have one of each style. I had to try them out.
That cardigan is beautiful. I'm afraid of sleeves also.
