Oops on referring to this hooks a couple of times, as (Streamline) Swirls. They are indeed, the new Streamline Metal Hooks!!
Those are nice!
Thank you. So excited to get mine in the mail soon.
That is exciting! I hope you’ll love it
and works well for you. I saw they have two other colors now.
Beautiful hooks for sure,,, very good comparison and demonstration… ❤️🌻
I have some Odysseys and absolutely love them. I was dismayed when they were discontinued, but I just saw these and was hopeful that they'd be a good substitute for the sizes that I never got in the Odysseys. Thanks to your review, I now know that these are not the hook for me. The weight of the Odysseys doesn't bother me, but I wouldn't want to go heavier. What clinched my "no" was the finish on these getting blech-y so quickly. I want a hook that doesn't need to be babied. Thank you for the thorough review!
The Odyssey were my favorite. Glad I have a set; but many have come loose. I do think the Streamline Metal are a decent substitute; and because they are so well-balanced, I got used to the bit of extra weight very quickly. Although, I’m not thrilled about how easily they scratch. You could probably hear them clanking, on camera, when barely touching the others. Also, because of the weight, they roll easily, and have to be careful to not slide right off your table. I do love how well they function as a hook; but I’m definitely not into babying them either. Time will tell how well they wear. Would’ve been nice, had they been able to figure out a way to coat the handle somehow. Not only to protect them; but to give a bit more grip when handling, and setting them down.
Only just come across this review, but am so glad I did! Thank you for your comprehensive review with its helpful comments. I was tempted to buy a couple from the Furls website because they look so nice (!) but your comments have helped me realise they're not for me. Apart from the babying needed to look after them, they are too long for my small hands and I suspect over time would not be comfortable to use 😢
Do keep up the great work! 🎉
Thank you so much I am going to buy some of them
Thank you for watching!! I also like their beautiful Streamline Swirls Resin hooks; but nothing like metal. It’s more universal, as the hook glides nicely through all yarn. (Can be a bit slippery with silk, bamboo, viscose, etc.). Still, comes down to personal preference. 💕
Super review. I just purchased one of these. I am. Complete beginner… literally just learning to ‘chain on’. I enjoy using fountain pens and know that I grip my pens tight and toward the nib. I had to buy really wide pens to release my grip and prevent cramping. I’m so excited to be learning crochet with a Furls Streamline hook 🙌
Hi! Congratulations on your first Furls hook! I hope you’ll love it! I’m so excited to know you’re new to crochet! 🎉I used to love fountain pens, didn’t know they’re still around. Great hearing about yours! Glad you found a way to still use them and prevent cramping. 💗
Hello Helene UK calling, these hooks are lovely, I do agree about the hand lotion, thank you so very much for the presentation, all very good wishes to you for2024,?🎉🎉🎉
Well hello Susan! It's Washington State, calling you back! I really enjoy doing reviews, and always hope they're helpful. Happy New Year! 🎆
Those hooks are very beautiful! Thanks for your review 😊
I appreciate you watching, and being here! 😍
Hi Helene, the new Furls Hooks are very pretty you make everything you crochet with them look so easy. I only have one Furls, a wooden one. I haven't used it much, it's a smaller hook, I feel more comfortable using a larger hook. You did a very thorough review, it's good to know the ins and outs of both kinds of the hooks. Wishing you and yours a very Happy New Year!
Hi Cheryl! Crocheting with them is easy for me; but it does take getting used to the change, at first. I prefer the larger hooks also. I saw a couple other in the market place I'd like to test out in the near future, and will review those too. I have a "thing" for tools, and a good excuse to get my fix! 😅 I hope you're feeling a lot better. Happy New Year to you and your family, too! 💗💗💗

Thanks for your demonstration, very informative. My size 4.00 mm Odyssey Hook is a bit larger then the 4.00 mm all metal Streamline that is just new on the market. Have others felt the same when comparing the 2 hooks? Thanks for your responses.
Hi. So glad you found it helpful. Yes, I noticed that also; so I did a swatch with both hooks, and oddly enough, my stitches came out the same. Although, not sure how much of a difference it would make over an entire pattern. I have noticed with other companies that the same sizes can vary some, in different styles of hooks. I’ve been using the new metal streamline a lot since this review, and still like them very much. I do wish the throat was a little deeper, like the Odyssey, to hold the yarn a little better. Especially with more slippery types of fiber; but I find that can be the nature of metal hooks in general. 💗
Nice, informative review for these hooks! As always, you cover all bases in your reviews and I thank you for that. Looks like they are great for knife-hold crocheters. I use a pencil hold and, having tried the Ommi ergonomic hooks, I know I would find it difficult to use the Furls, although I did want to buy them when I first saw them used by other crocheters. They're pretty and I like the streamlined style. Glad they work so well for you! 😊
I agree with your observation about the knife grip and pencil grip. I also use a pencil grip and I just cannot use the Furls hooks. I received two as a gift, but I can't change over to a knife grip at this point! They are lovely but I will stay with my Clover hooks!
@@Nancy-SF Yep. I use my Clovers for most things. I did buy some Ommi ergonomic hooks (look like Furls knock-offs) because the Furls I wanted to buy to try were not available. I have used them for some small projects, but I can't get up any speed and my hand hurts a bit.
Hi Karen, and thank you! Glad you liked my review! Your take on the pencil grip is very helpful, and interesting. It's always better hearing from those who use the pencil grip, and have tried Furls for themselves. One thing I do miss at times, is having a thumb rest. Maybe one day Furls will design hooks with that, and better suited for any grip style. 😃
@@cabinfevercrochet A thumb rest would definitely help us pencil-grip crocheters. I think that's why my hand hurts when I try to use a Furls-design hook using a pencil grip. If I switch to a knife grip, I end up using more wrist motion for stitches than I do with a pencil grip, which, in turn, causes wrist and hand pain. I believe a thumb rest would stabilize my grip. Maybe. I do think it's a good idea, but do you really think Furls will change their ergonomic design to do that?
@@kayellwy Wow! Again, so interesting; because I have the same issue, when trying to use the pencil grip! Instant sress on my wrist joint, causing a lot of strain, pain, and hand fatigue. Besides the lake of coordination! Using the knife grip since age 13, my brain cannot get a "grip" on it, ha-ha! Furls is so innovative, I'm hoping they can figure out how to combine the best of both!
They r soooo pretty i have some odyssey’s and a resin and a wooden one as well and the candy one too. Love mine! Thanks for the review! 💕💕
I have one of their wooden hooks, and two Candy Shop, which I also like a lot. Bummer they're discontinued. Sometimes I switch around to other brands; but always come back to Furls! 💗
I so want these hooks! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching!! Looks like Furls is currently sold out of several sizes; but when on their mailing list, you can get notified when back in stock. They have frequent sales, too! Gotta love that!!
They look amazing. Ive never used a Furls!
I also liked their Candy Shop Hooks; but sadly, those have been discontinued too. The Streamline series are very nice and definitely a better price point. I’ll see how their metal hooks wear, over time.
Thanks for the review. It was very helpful!
Oh, I’m so happy to hear that and appreciate your thoughtful comment. 💗
Thank you so much for sharing I am going to order a couple tomorrow
Hi Annette! I’m excited for you, and hope you’ll enjoy them. They do take a little getting used to the weighted difference. After you play around with them, I’d love to know what you think! 😃
Great review thank you so much, I just got a couple and I love this hook
Yay! Very glad it was helpful, and SO so happy you love your hooks!! 🎉
Excellent review. Thank You
Oh that’s great, thank you so much! So glad you liked it. 😍
I have the streamline metal in 8mm
Absolute dream to crochet with
That’s exciting to hear! They’re my new go-to, and will probably get another size or two at some point. 💗
I have always used Clover Amours but really want to try these- especially for blanket yarn. I’m noticing that with the Furls the letter/mm size is different than other brands. Clover size L is an 8 and Furl size 8 is an M. Is it best to just go with the mm size? I’ve never used another brand so just not sure how much difference there would be! Thank you!
Hi. I've noticed brands can differ some in their hook sizing. I would go with the mm size, which to me, is going to be closest to what you want. Even so, mm size can still vary some between companies, and even within the same brand, compared to other hook styles they may carry. Hope that helps!
@@cabinfevercrochet thank you so much! Can’t wait to try them and see the difference!
@@ginasumner832 I hope you'll love them! I do find using new hooks that are different from what you're used to, can take a little adjusting. There's a difference in weight and balance. For me, these really take the stress and fatigue off my joints, and worth the investment for hand health. I'd love to know how you like them, after you had a chance to play a bit! 💖
How can i order the new hook
One other thing about the hooks is the head is a little smaller than average. Depending on the yarn you’re using, and how you hold the hook, it may or may not hang onto the yarn as well as other styles. It’s not an exact Odyssey replacement; but I still like the new Sreamline Metal very much. If you get on their email list, you’ll receive 15% off your first purchase. furlscrochet.com/products/silver-streamline-metal-crochet-hooks
I got full set of metal hooks. With your odyssey hooks did you notice the metal changing
How niiice!! I do see getting a couple more, in my future! Sizes I work with the most. No metal changing issues with my Odyssey. Just the internal screw mechanism getting loose over time. What happened to yours?
@@cabinfevercrochet my 5.5 metal look like it was oxidizing it might’ve came like that because I notice when I used it the first time. They gave me refund though paypal
@@84alexism That is weird. Surprising it would oxidize; since they're nickel-plated. Sounds like some kind of defect. Good they gave you a refund!
