Coopay Black Gold Crochet Hooks Needles for Arthritic Hands, 2.0-6.0mm Crochet Hook Set Ergonomic Soft Grips Knitting Hook for Crochet Yarn Craft, Aluminum Knitting Crocheting Supplies Kit for Knitter

This is a great set for anyone eyeing more expensive pairs (iykyk)I own multiple set of hooks because I am notorious for loosing them. (Good luck finding 4mm/5.5mm when I need em)Was a great addition to the hoard. Great hand feel and smooth metal on the hook so no catching on the yarn

I like to keep the crochet hook for each WIP in my project bag. It eliminates hook size confusion and having to hunt for the necessary hook. However there are frequently several ongoing projects using the same size hook, in this case (Rainbow Ripple Baby Blanket) 5.5mm. Since joann is now defunct it is challenging to purchase a single hook, but I happened across this set at a very reasonable price. I REALLY LIKE these: the handle is comfortable with a nicely placed grip, the shaft is 20mm from the end of the throat and is accurately sized at 5.5mm, the aluminum head/shaft is very smooth and the end of the head is nicely rounded.Generally I only use “in-line” crochet hooks where the tip of the head runs in a straight line with the shaft. In this case (photo 3) there is an offset of 3mm but the hook is so smooth and well shaped that there is no splitting a stitch on the pull through. Can HIGHLY RECOMMEND these hooks for their ease of use and price.

These are nice hooks. I like the size and they're lighter in weight than other hooks like these. The only problem I'm having with them is the rubber keeps slipping off the metal shaft. It's annoying because I have to keep pushing it back on.

Really great product even for a beginner like myself. Very easy to use, comfortable for long periods, and easy packaging for put away

I'm always on the look out for a new addition to my crochet hook collections. One of my favorite set of hooks are the Tulip, and love the look of the red set. So, I wanted to satisfy my own curiosity how this set compared.Side by side, they are the same height. Both hooks have the Boyd favoured tapered style, and both are made with different ergonomic materials for the handle. You can google to learn about the anatomy of a crochet hook, and I will use that to reflect if there are any differences below.Point/Tip - Coopay: slightly rounded, Tulip: pointedLip/Mouth - Coopay: rounded and curved, Tulip: angular/straightThroat/Neck - Coopay: thin and sharply tapered Tulip: slightly taperedShaft/Shank - Coopay: 3.5cm. The paint used for the metal creates a slight drag Tulip: 3.5cm. Smooth finish, no dragThumb rest - Coopay: 1.5cm wide, and 4.75cm long, feel is fleshy, and slightly pliable, Tulip: 1cm wide, 5cm long, feel is smooth and rigidHandle - Coopay: 5cm long and 1cm wide sharp ridge where the thumb rest joins with the handle, Tulip: tapers from the thumb rest to .75mmMy project is a basket with a medley of stitches to see how the hook holds up. I am using worsted weight Super Saver yarn, and stitches include: magic ring, sc, hdc, dc, chain stitches, jasmine star stitch, crocheting in the third loop, cluster stitches, front post dc. I used the 10/0 6.0mm hook for my project.One of the first things I noticed was the feel of the handle, it is warm, not cool, and the fingers just dont glide over it. I washed these in warm sudsy water to remove any residue that might have been left over from the machines that made them... that did not remove that feel, so it is in the material itself. Its not an overly bad feeling, I'm just used to either using the aluminum handles, tulip or clover hooks anymore.However, the drag that is on the aluminum material is a serious problem. It may not be so bad if you are a loose crocheter, which is typical for a beginner, however when you are better at gauging your tension and using the hook correctly the drag stretches out the stitch slightly.It may just require getting used to it, but to be honest... I will probably give this set away to someone that is just learning and doing only the basic stitches without clusters or multi loops on the shaft.Hopefully this very honest review helps other to decide to buy this or skip it. If it is a parent gifting this for a stocking stuffer for a beginner, totally recommend it! However for those of us who are older and more experienced... I would go with another brand that I know and trust.

Beautiful and have a nice feel, work well for crochet... The metal is slippery enough for crocheting faster while the handle allows for easy control. Simple yet elegant, I love these, plus they're well labeled for both US and Metric sizes.

Stunning and great quality

easy to grip, gentle on arthritic fingers .
