Tulip Etimo Crochet Hooks – A Guide To Your Best Options

The Tulip Etimo Crochet Hooks are the best ergonomic crochet hook. Crocheting for extended periods is a breeze with these hooks.

Here’s my guide to the full range.

Made in Japan, they create a superior crocheting experience. The tulip crochet hooks are smooth, with a rounded head and tapered throat.

The sizes are metric/Japanese numbers rather than US Sizing.

This isn’t a problem when you use a conversion chart to convert the metric sizing into US sizing.
