Follow along as I unbox the four hooks that I got. I'll tell you what I think, compare them to other Furl hooks such as other Streamline hooks, acrylic hooks, and wooden hooks, and I'll tell you how they compare to my FAVORITE hooks, which are the Clover Amour hooks!

I use to be a Clover hook only crocheter for over 50 years until I tried Furl streamline metal hooks! I have the entire silver set and now I solely use the furls, I love them that much! They took a bit of time to get use to the size and weight but I never have wrist or finger pain like I did with the Clovers. The red is very pretty!
I bought the Furls red and I love them! I also still love my old school Susan Bates with the bamboo handle.
Oh my goodness!!! I am so tempted to purchase a red metal Furls hook. I personally prefer Clover Amour and Tulip but that red is gorgeous!!! 🤩
I just ordered a red metal Furls hook. I can't wait for it to come! 🥰❤
I have several of the Furl's hooks. I particularly like the metal hooks. I have a silver and a rose gold, but red is my favorite color. I will be purchasing one of those quite soon.
Furls is having a sale - today only - 20% off just as an FYI
I JUST ordered some red hooks last night!! 🥳 I don’t care what is in, the hooks look so amazing! I have some of the silver(aluminum), a few black ones so I ordered red as soon as I saw the Furls e-mail. SUPER excited!!! I also use Tulip, Susan Bates and Clover hooks 🤷♀Depends on fiber, mood & project - I just love to crochet and having some fun red hooks from Furls adds to my happiness 🥰(having a sale doesn’t hurt either 😂)
Thanks for showing these, I’m really looking forward to mine!
I love clovers and tulips as well. But I recently got a few of the metal furls and I really like them. The favorite is the gold matte. I would love to get the entire set of those!!!
I could feel the excitement when the hook fell out of the box! I need to look into these!
It's my favorite color. I've had the same red KitchenAid stand mixer for 24 years. Still works as good as the day I got it.
Clover Amour is my favorite as well. I’ve tested over 15-20 other brands from cheap to expensive and so far nothing beats the smoothness and glide of Clover. I only wish they made them a little bit longer.
I love red all my kitchen appliances are red, but I also LOVE pink and they now have the blush metal hooks out, so I bought all 12 of them.
Beautiful colour red, i love it. I love my Amazon cheapies and the light up interchangeable head hook my son brought me, so used to them now 😊
I am a total Clover amour team as well, but I do have several Furls hooks as well, I like the fact that they are ergonomic and I absolutely love some of their colours :) I have several of their Andromeda resin hooks, several of their Ebony wooden hooks (I like to use the wooden hooks with some slippery yarns and sometimes acrylic yarns too) and I did order recently 2 of their new Fjord hooks and 1 of those red ones :) never tried their metal hooks that's why only got one to try, I hope it won't be too heavy as I have small hands and I am used to working with light Clovers :) but the red hooks do look very beautiful indeed.
Good morning Nick from long Island..those are very pretty hooks!
Gimme some hot pink and I'm all in 😂
Furls hooks are beautiful but inline hooks, and I can't use them. Unfortunately, they don't make tapered hooks so I will enjoy them through others! I'm glad to hear you are happy with your purchase.
I ordered mine today. I'm glad I waited. I got 20% off! I like all my brand name hooks. I once bought an unknown brand because the grip was beautiful. The pattern reminded me of blue delft. They were horrible. I do like the Clover, Tulip and Bates in particular. Careful with that resin one. It could break, oh no!
I prefer Clover Amour and Tulip Etimo (pink) hooks. ❤ from Antwerp / Belgium.
I got the Tulip Etimo red edition for Valentine's Day 3 years ago, and I love them just as much as the Clover Amour!
My favorite hooks are the prym. I find they work well with my hands. 1, I have big man hands. 2, I have carpal tunnel in both hands. 3, I have neuropathy in both hands. The prym fit my big hands and are ergonomic. The furls do look pretty tho 🤣
I love Furls and Dots hooks because of the length. No rubbing on the edge of my hand.
Nick, my favorite hooks include Furls streamline. However, you missed out on one of their best lines. They used to have a line named “Candy Shop Collection. They were decorative, ergonomic hooks. Each color and handle came in every size available. I have 1/4 of them. I wasn’t able to finish the collection.
I enjoy the fel of wooden hooks and Furls are my favorites. I do have a full set of hooks i got for a birthday present. I have a red coffee maker and a red crackpot 😂
I love my Furls blush streamline
I used to always buy the product Red products from Apple. lol! 😂
I love my Furls crochet hooks. My first hook was an acrylic hook, which then got me to purchase a Furls Odyssey hook (now a discontinued item). I’ve tried a variety of other brand hooks, I have even purchased some hand made hooks, and I always go back to my Furls hooks. I know it’s just a preference and we all have our own. I ultimately like the smoothness of the metal Furls hooks provide.
I usually work up the Christmas stocking gift card holder pattern from Christa of The Secret Yarnery. And put gift cards for loved ones in them.
I crocheted a simple tree skirt for our tree.
Tulip Etimo has a red edition that feels and performs just like the Clover Amour hooks, I love mine!
I have a 4mm red Etimo and it feels divine. Love the satin look of the hook as well. ❤
Oh God when I grew up in Romania, our kitchen was red as well! 😂 guess it was a global phenomenon. About the hooks, I have way too many of them in so many colors and materials. And the sad part is I only crochet with one specific brand (golden Etimo by Tulip) because they seem to be the smoothest metal that makes any yarn I use glide so smoothly.
I have the set of silver hooks. With a lot of use, you can see some smudges that can't be buffed out. I'd like to try the red. Does it seem like the red would get scratched or discolored in any way do you think?
They are heavy - they are supposed to take the place of the hooks that went discontinued and cannot be made anymore. I really like the weight. The head was also changed and I find it can grip the yarn better than the discontinued hooks.
Oh I LOVE THE RED
I have the Furls red 8mm and I do feel decadent when I use it. However, I still prefer my Clover Amour and Soft Touch hooks for extensive projects.
I’m making market mesh bags for my family this Christmas
I love Furls over clover. But clover is my travel hook. I love them as well. But I go to my Furls first
I ordered 4 of the red hooks too. I did notice the tip color started to wear off after minor use on all 4 red hooks. I notice chipping or pitting at the tip only. I have the Bronze and gold and haven’t had a problem
Oh crap, that's interesting. I'm not paying a premium price for the finish to come off.
Oh if they had metal green ones I might have to get one or two
Hi Nick,
Those red hooks are very pretty and I like the in-line style. But I'm an old fashion gal, l use the Susan Bates plain
aluminum hooks which are the in-line style as well and have the thumb rest in the middle. I've tried a couple of the ones with the shaped grips but they just don't feel right to me.
I have purchased and used acrylic furls and didn’t really like them. Wrong size for my hands and they didn’t slide well with the yarn I was using. But it sounds like you did what I did, went crazy for the first metal ones and I almost have a full set. Then the black came I had to get a couple and I liked them even better then the plain metal because they didn’t slip in my hand. I had to get the blush and now I have the red on the way to me. But I’m waiting for the purple……..no I don’t know that they are going to make purple but I’m hopeful!
I want the red ones so bad a 5.mm and 6mm. I just can't waste that amount of money right now. But they are very beautiful
I’ve had 3 Furhs hooks 2 wood and one acrylic. All 3 one drop on the floor and the hook broke off at the handle. I can’t afford them. Susan bates for me
Apple offers “Product Red” options for their iPhones. I get red every time I upgrade my phone. I have a 13 mini. Available for the 16’s.
Does the metal hold heat from your hand?
Have you tried the ommi resin hooks
I hold the hook the same way you do (like a pen rather than a fist) and I find that fat handles are nearly impossible for me to work with. It feels super awkward. Kind of like most fountain pens are too wide to be comfortable in my hand. Shame, because I would really love the shiny red and the inline head is right up my alley.
I bought one of them (red streamline H/5mm) and the fjord limited editionone (J/6mm resin)... i send them back today for refund, i don't know if it does the same on the bigger sizes, but the 5mm red stramlines head has too sharp edges and kept snagging of the yarn i used, it felt horrible... which i am sad for, i really wanted to love them, because they are nice to hold and really beautiful. Maybe another time...
So has anyone had the issue of Furl’s silver metal hooks causing oxidation on the yarn? Has anyone had that experience with the other metal colors? I LOVE LOVE LOVE my hooks, I’m just aggravated by having to continuously wipe my hooks down while I’m working on a project. I make sure my hands are clean and all that, but I’m either having to wipe my hooks or wash my project immediately after it’s done so it doesn’t look dingy
Have u tried the “Temu furls” I’ve only seen one review and they came out on top would love to get your opinion if u ever come across them…..it’s like 50 bucks for 9 VERY SIMILAR
1set Sweater Needle Integrated Hand Polishi Crochet Needle 9 Colors Oxidized Aluminum

The title of your channel does not fit the ideas of crochet.
