Please excuse the audio I am working on a better set up!
I have had mine since late Spring and since I do Tunisian and Tunisian mosaic almost exclusively so they got a lot of use as sampling hooks. I still prefer my Knitters Pride Gingers (and bamboo as secondary for second WIP) and have Lykke Indigos coming for a second good wood set. I do use Moment swivel cords with them--oh, BTW, the Ali Express have swivel cables too but they are not my favorite hooks. I use DK and Sport yarns about 90% of the time so use similar sizes a lot and don't love those sizes in these hooks--I would say they are fine--but not my favorites.
I love these hooks. I purchased two sets so I can do double ended Tunisian crochet. I'm currently working on an afghan called Puddles of Love by Design by Diligence. It's much easier with these hooks than the plastic ones I had been using.
How do you compare these Aliexpress to Addi hooks? I love tapered hooks! The best tapered Tunisian hooks I tried so far were Addi, their heads glide into stitches like butter because they are narrow/flat! But that wonderful "flat/narrow" head shape only comes with hooks 5 mm, 5.5 mm and 6 mm! Smaller and larger hooks are regular tapered shape. Addi does not have swivel cords either, which is a shame because swivel cords are phenomenal and make a huge difference if you work on a larger project.
A new "golden" version of these is coming out on July 31 st and it has a titanium in the coating of the hooks.
Very cool! :)
That bag is everything i need and more
hmmm maybe I'll have to check these hooks out!
If you did see Toni's review, she noted that the cords do swivel. The cords are not broken. They are supposed to swivel.
Would you provide the link of the seller?
Aliexpress has an app
I have been thinking about purchasing these. Thanks for your review. 😊
The cords are meant to swivel: This message is for anyone watching this review. They indeed are meant to turn 360 degrees. They aren’t broken.
Nice video! Thank you! How is the squeak now?
She didn’t wipe the hooks down beforehand, so the Boucle nature of the yarn she used caused drag. It cleared up as she worked more, the yarn removing residue. Also it is an acrylic yarn, and it can squeak on the hook.
That is magnificent, I want one
