Amour Crochet Hooks
The wider soft-grip handle made from elastomer is lovely to hold and smooth to touch. These are suitable for both pencil grip, and knife hold crocheters.
The handle has a flat surface where you can place your thumb. This makes it very comfortable to hold.
Each size is color-coded, so it won’t take long to recognize the size you need.
The hook is aluminum and works well with any type of fiber. They are suitable for crocheting garments, blankets, amigurumi & other projects.
The yarn glides smoothly over the hook shaft; this may take some getting used to if the hooks you usually use have more grip.
Crochet Hooks Set
Amour Crochet Hooks Larger Set
These incredibly smooth hooks allows yarn to slide effortlessly. This set includes: K (6mm), 7mm, L (8mm), M/N (9mm), N/P (10mm)
The difference between the large crochet hooks by Clover Amour and the smaller sizes is the hook shaft is made from sturdy plastic. This keeps the hook lightweight.
You may be skeptical about using plastic hooks if you’re used to aluminum. The hook shafts don’t feel like cheap breakable plastic, the smoothness is fantastic, and there are no areas where your yarn would snag.
There’s no squeaky noise when hooking your yarn, which is quite common with other plastic hooks. The handles differ from the smaller sized Amour hooks. The elastomer has a slightly less grippy feel and softer.
You’ll notice as the sizes go up, the hook shaft length increases.
Pros
- These larger sized hooks are the perfect tools for working with thick yarns
- Yarn glides effortlessly
- Lightweight
- The hook has a tapered head
- Made in Japan
Cons
- The handle may get a little grubby, but this can be removed with warm soapy water and a cloth.
