![Reviewing EVERY Tunisian Crochet Hook (That I Own) [YARN SNOB REVIEWS]](/img/n.gif)
I acquired a set of Clover Amour hooks when I was still a beginner and have zero regrets. They're super comfortable, super practical and super smooth. On the pricey side, yes, but worth the investment.
I just wish that they were a bit longer 😅
my boyfriend bought me a set of clover amour hooks and I just....I can't use any other hooks anymore. They're just TOO GOOD.
I love my Clover Amour❤
I’ve always used the Amours and wouldn’t change them for anything else. Also I have sensitive hands and they are the ones I can stand for hours of crocheting. Also they grab the yarn and never loses it like others do. I love them.
Same on all these points. The material of the handle of my favorite of all of my hooks.
Clover Amours are my absolutely favorite and having both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis they are so comfortable in my hands.
Clover was the first set of crochet hooks I bought and I loved them but the more I crocheted I realized they are short and I prefer a longer hook. Dot is the perfect solution to this issue. I also did not care for the light pink plastic color on the dots but overall I like them more because of the length.
i agree
I have both sets (two sets of Clovers...because I'm extra like that), and while I still love them, the WeCrochet ones really surprised me! The way it's designed near the thumb hold has helped me crochet for even longer than my Amours did! I am looking forward to hearing your review of both!
me too
I have arthritis and the Clover Amor hooks saved my hands. Even the furls aren't as comfortable for me, although the Candy Shop, for some weird reason seem easier than the other Furls. Still nothing beats the Clover for me. Love your yarn reviews and you taught me how to add Tunisian crochet to my repertoire, lol. Keep up the great work Toni!
Once you get into the larger hook sizes (7mm+), the clover amour hooks are plastic instead of aluminum, and I LOVE them. They feel like butter on blanket yarn for large amigurumis
I love my Clover Amours - I have tried others but there's nothing that comes close and I always go back to the Amours. They feel comforting, at this point.
Oh my goodness, your little guy is too cute. Love him!
I discovered Clovers when they were just that goldish brown color. I never looked back😊 I now own their other more colorful Amour hooks as well.
I initially read your comment as 'goldfish' brown. 🤦🏻♀️😄
Pepper!!!! How cute is he!!!
I'm just like you.. I have just about every crochet and knitting hook sets out there ! It's truly an obsession ! I don't have the Dots set yet, but you convinced me to get it !
(My favorite crochet hook sets are still Tulip & Clover)
I have both and love them both, especially the extra length of the Dots. The only thing I find with the Dots is my hand does get a little sore from where the edge of the actual dot runs through my hand, believe it or not. They are excellent value for money and great hooks.
I love your submissions, as an avid crochetter, I find your inquiry results are so valuable, thank you so much!
You are not only beautiful woman but also an amazing teacher🌹
Love my clover Amour in the larger size set, love 7 8 9 mm the most, and these lightweight and perfect hook, breeze thru my work, yet don't tire my RA hands..❤
Favorite quote from Toni: "From 1 to buttah"
Love your work and how much of yourself that you share with us ❤!
I love my Clover Amour.
Pepper's little snaggle tooth is adorable!
I love Clover products but my favorite hooks are from Tulip. The Clover hook set was my first & it was perfect.
Thank you so much for doing this Toni! I have been wondering about the Dots crochet hooks. I currently use only the Clover Amor. Interesting! I love everything you do!❤
Super helpful review! I've watched several videos about Dots trying to decide, but this is the one that helped me make up my mind.
Clover so smooth, no teeny gritty feeling on the yarns like other hooks, I’ve got a lot of brands Clover everytime woohoo 🧶
Love love Clover hooks. No other hooks works as smooth especially with yarn that splits. They are wonderful! ❤
Love watching your videos. I have both sets and they're ok, my all time fav are Tulip Etimo Hooks, they fit me perfectly. Thank you very much for sharing.
Yep, I love my clovers! The mat finish is my favorite part of the hook. It just makes all of my yarn glide.
I used to use Susan Bates all the time (I still like those for the in-line heads) but when I tried Clover for the first time...I never went back. They crochet like a dream! Worth every penny, IMO. :)
Oh, same same!! Clover's Amour design isn't inline, but it doesn't matter. I did not expect that.
Thank you Toni, this was super helpful. Also with large (and dry) handles, the Amour's grip is perfect, I don't think I'd like anything smoother.
Also, as someone who rotates the hook (using a knife grip) when picking up yarn overs, handle grip and thumb rest bumps are an issue.
Clover Amour is a combo inline and taper leaning more on the inline side.
Hi Toni. That was a great comparison! Loved that you didn’t mince words. I love my Clover but, i also find my Tulip hooks are amazing as well and of course my old standby Susan Bates! I find they each vary enough that ALL my yarn bases are covered Thanks
I recently got 2 individual hooks from Clover Amour and absolutely love them.
Thank you, Toni, for all that you do to educate the crochet family. ♥️
I just got my Clover hooks last week. They are awesome, go through the yarn like butter.
Thanks for this video 😊 I must say I LOVE my Clover Amour all the way! The set was a gift and I think it’s one I really appreciate. But I would like to give the Dots a try, just for kicks.
first time commenter, long time lurker here! i been crochetting since 2020, apparently i picked it up quickly despite some minor motor issues i have. for xmas after i been crochetting for a year in a half my bf got me a carrycase that had hooks in it off amazon (the one w the flowers on it 😅). after a few months of THOSE i switched out the amazon hooks for a Clover hook set (the main one and the teeny lace hook set) and havent looked back, i love crochet and i love my clovers i dont think ill ever change them out!
Just wanted to say I just got my first pattern of yours and I am so excited to get to work on it!
I really like my clover hooks, but they are short so I am excited to try the dots! Love everything you do! Love the shout out to lama mama Kayla…what a sweet and deserving soul!
Been a Susan Bates gal for 56 years. Lately I have been trying other non inline hooks. Its been frustrating. I bought cheap sets that looked like the Clover and found them heavy. I bought a few Tulips and found the bump on the Tulip handles causes numbness on my thumb. I just got a set of Amours 🎉🎉🎉. Cant believe how comfortable and light they are. The thumb rest is like my Susan Bates, kinda. These are perfect hooks for me. Thanks Toni for this review!
Thanks Toni for your honest compassion
I love my Clover Amore hooks! I didn't get them all at once. I picked them up one or two (at the most) at a time and I'm still going, by adding the larger size hooks. Which I was a little cautious about buying because they're not metal hooks. I was so pleasantly surprised by the smooth slick feel of them. Two thumbs up on them too. 😊
I came across to your channel love it so much i being crocheting for 30 years always using cheap ones and oh my i recently try the clover one it is a huge different i am for sure getting the whole set, thanks so much for your video and helping us a lot I m for sure watch more of your videos fun fun fun blessings
Toni!! Beautiful video quality and your backdrop is gorgeous. Your amazing lovey self just shines. Great job on everything and as always excellent content. Your hard work is definitely showing!
This is an immensely kind comment. I wear many hats beyond crochet designer - I never expected video producer to be one of them, lol. So I'm glad to hear that my slow and steady progress is proving worth it. Thank you so much 🤗
I had been a life long (over 45 years) user of Susan Bates hooks, but after one of your reviews, I tried the Clover Amours, and surprisingly, I haven't gone back! I love them so much that I don't even want to try other hooks. But I'm so glad that you try all of these new hooks so I don't have to. lol I always enjoy your videos, so even if I'm not in the market for something new, I still love to watch. Thank you!
Thank you, a well rounded review. I love my Clover Amour! But I now own the dots too.
I only have a few clover hooks, and they aren't my favorite. Many I feel like they are short when in my hand, but I have been in love with my dots hooks since receiving them in January! I do love the price point as well. Definitely, worth giving them a try.
I seem to always come back to the Clover no matter how many others I try
Awesome video!! As always, I learned something important to my crochet experience and had fun!! Thanks for posting this!! ♥️😍♥️😍♥️😍
Thank you for the review. I like my Clover ones.
I have been seriously considering purchasing a set of Clover Amours. This review was very helpful. Thanks! Also, I am enjoying Crochet Academy. I highly recommend it!
Wonderful review Toni :) I have small hands and have learned to swing my crochet hook in a pencil grip in order to crochet stitches quickly as a lefty. I've realized too that I rely on the end of my hook handle to tension the yarn evenly. For this reason, I've been wanting to try the Clover hooks and have been thinking about investing in them for quite a while. So glad Amazon has sales on the Clovers :).
U will love Clover if you use pencil style crochey
I just love my Clovers. They work the best for me. I have Lupus & texture is a big thing for me. Thank you for the review.
I have both and love them both lol. I use a pencil grip so the long Dots hook is very comfortable for me and the thumb spot is in a perfect spot.
I love my Clover Amour hooks. I use a pencil grip so I don’t need the extra length. Thank you for sharing your opinion on both kinds of hooks. 💜🙏🏻
Thank you for reviewing! I trust your insights. And now: just have to say your nails are FABULOUS! ❤❤❤
I have been adding to my Clover Amour hooks steadily over time. I love them so much! I even have a few Furls hooks and I keep coming back to my Clover Amour hooks! And I'm a kid-sized hand person, so they're perfect for me! 😂
I have recently ventured into the their steel hooks for doing lace crochet. I think the smallest I can go right now is the 1.75. 😅 But they are so well made and they come with a little steel cap for the hook! So wonderful! Thanks for always providing great reviews! ❤🙏
As usual, Toni did not disappoint, thank you again x
Just ordered the Clover Amours....40% off! I'm working on the zig zag ripple afghan with fall colors. Thanks so much for your tutorial! Couldn't have done it without you.🐈⬛🧶
So timely. Thank you, Toni. I was just looking for a set to gift to my 14 yo daughter who has been enjoying learning to crochet. I want her to enjoy thr craft with good quality tools. It looks like the head on the Dots looks like the head on a Tulip. Interesting...
Thanks! My bestie loves the Amour hooks. I am a Tulip Etimo girl - I have the ones with the gold heads and grey shafts.
Excellent comparison! Thank you!
Thank you for giving Kayla a big shout out! She’s a talented woman and inspiration. As for the hooks, the length pushes the dots up over the Clover even though the thumb rest can get annoying. I still love my Furls Odyssey hooks best.
I use clover amour.. I’m older and crocheting got a little harder with arthritis and the clover are easier to hold and your right I look for the letter as well as the number.. clover is my go to hook. Ty love your channel
I literally just got my Dots hooks in the mail last night 😂 I have had my Clover Amours for months now and they’re my go-tos, but I’ve been testing the Dots hooks all day and I think they’re a really good alternative, or good to have alongside Clover Amours. I personally always have a lot of WIPs so it will be nice to have some more high quality metal hooks around
I love everything clover. Crochet, Tunisian, Knitting I’ve got them all
I am a long time crocheter with big hands. love my dots! I have at least one of every brand of hook but these have me, the length and thumb rest fit my hands perfectly. I don’t grasp the hook as tight as Toni perhaps, so I don’t have an issue wit the hard plastic ends. For the price I recommend trying the Dots, especially if you have larger hands.
Clover Amour are my favorite hooks. Tried many others, including Furls and I always go back to my Clover.
I love my Clover Amour, I'm loving Crotchet Academy and just finished your Montego shawl for the CAL but I'm not on social media other than UA-cam. Very interesting to hear this comparison, thanks! ❤❤
I acquired my Clover hooks in a lime green and pink case on sale quite a long time ago. They are my favorite hooks. I also love the old Susan Bates metal hooks.
Thank you Ms Toni, for this wonderful review.❤
I am thrilled I found you!!!! ❤❤ I got clover style crochet hooks on wish. Honestly, no difference. ($8 free shipping because I had a coupon) I've had them for 4 years now. I'm not promoting wish, however, not every one can afford expensive hooks. Although, recently I added Tunisian hooks to my collection.(Wal-Mart special 😂) I realized I was trying to do a Tunisian pattern with my regular hooks. Unbeknownst to me it's a whole different style. Loved it so much I'm doing that as well. That's how I ran into your tutorials. My goal is to relax while making something pretty.
I have the Clover Amour n love them. But sometimes I feel like the are too short. Looking forward to this review to see if I need another set?!?! Of course I do. 😜
I love my Clovers❣❣❣ Great review and very thorough!
I love your honesty. Thankyou❤
I have only used Clover and don’t really want to try any others. I love them. My fingers never get tired or sore. I watched a lot of videos to get comparisons because I am fairly new to crochet.
Thank u! I love clover hooks..
I got my set of Clover Amour hooks from Zulily for over half -off. I had to wait for three billion years for them to arrive, but it was a steal.
Love her videos! Really informative on your crocheting journey!
I have not tried the Dodge, and don’t plan to. I love my Clovers and my tulips. I have very small child size hands, so I tend to like the shorter hooks. Thanks for the great review, they are my favorites of your videos. I love it when you show us new products and try them out for us.
Thanks for the great review. I always enjoy these episodes. I love to see new products and to hear what you think about them. I’m pretty sure I would have also chosen the clovers. I have child size hands, so my tulips and my clovers are my go to hooks. Love them both. ❤
Thank you for the review! I’m a Clover fan. But you’re so right! We don’t have to choose! ❤😊😂
I have been trying to decide. I watched many videos with yours which I have watched twice now. I will be saving and getting the Clover Amours. I even looked at the tulips but I just don't want to pay that much. I guess if I was using them as part of my business such as yourself, I could see wear it would be worth it. Again love you and all your videos. Thank you.
I'm new to crochet and I bought a clover amour hook in the size that I needed for my first project and I have no comparison, but I really like it. I can crochet for hours and feel okay at the end .
Love you Toni, such great info. Your yarn tjread thru yarn needle I use every time, & think of you, great info. I hv been trying Tulip, few hooks hete, there, even their original steel hooks. I hv Susan Bates steel hooks in almost every size, starting 00 -9, & all the lettered sizes. Clover beats for sure with Filet crochet, getting into sm places & getting out in smooth, easy loops for dc & tr, + I wud try dots, but I hv trbl with Clover rubbing my pointing finger also. I dont need any more but am intrigued now
i really appreciated this video! because while it's not relevant to me necessarily as someone who already has all the clover hooks, these wecrochet ones look like a great option for those new crochet friends i have looking for recommendations on things that will feel better to use than plastic but aren't going to break the bank for a hobby they're not necessarily committed to yet. i've recommended them for my friend to look into - and some of the cons you mentioned won't impact her as she loves pale pink and has quite small hands, so the dots will be a pro to her and the thumb rest will probably be in a good spot for her. i think they're a great option for her and i super appreciate your pointing us in their direction.
Because of you, I ordered Clover Amor. It seems like I can crochet better! Still have trouble getting a nice edge...love your tutorials!
Love my dots hooks for my amigurumi projects. My other projects usually are done with my Furls wood hooks.
I have both sets and I prefer the Clover because of the thumb rest you mentioned. I use pencil hold so that hump seems to be in the way.
I used your link to order the dots hooks because I like a longer hook and clover is too short for me. Thanks for your review.
Clover amour works great for me. I don't regret purchasing it and it gives me nice grip because of its plastic handle. I usually use my aluminum hooks and I can tell the difference. My pony hooks have bulkier handle than clover amour so I usually prefer clover. I'd like to try tulip and other hooks in the future to see what fits my hands better
Pepper looks like the best boy! So cute!
I love my clover amours! I got them at Joanns with a coupon for about 60$ I think. I knew I wanted this set after buying some individual hooks and loving them. The dots look nice and I agree that they seem like a great rec for people just getting into crochet and who may not want to invest just yet. I may need to get a set for my mom so she’ll stop borrowing my clovers!
Thanks for the review 💜
Thank you for this review. I don’t have the DOTS yet but I think in may enjoy the longer hook size. The Amours are soft but they rub my palm (like how the Dots did you) and on days of long crochet sessions it can be irritating. But you’re right I just make sure to have my lotion handy😊
I love this review❤ my clover Amours are for micro crochet. My smallest is .60 and I have 4, .75, .90, .and 1.00 They were actually the only hooks I could find that weren't straight metal or had to be attached. Sometimes the assemble ones just don't work out. Thank you ❤
I just got my clover amour steel hooks.. I already had the standard sizes (which made me a fangirl for them) and I am loving every second of them. I've been wanting to get into lace and micro crochet for soooo long. First thing I made was a mini flower applique with thread and the 0.60mm hook. It's probably only 5 to 8 mm diameter. In love.
Clover all the way.
I've also started embroidery recently. I had the choice of a $3 hoop or a $13 clover hoop... I went with clover because the quality of their hooks are so good that I believe the quality or their other products will likely stand up.. we'll see if I remain a clover fangirl after I've been usi g the hoop for a while. $13 is a lot for something that could be purchased for more than 50% less.
definitely going to have to look into getting a set!
I have two different styles of clover hooks and love them!
Love Amour with the plastic/rubber combo.
Thanks for this review. Love it as always.
This was so helpful! As a 30+ year knitter/designer I only work with Addi Turbo circular needles, they are my ride or die. I’ve always done small crochet projects as my Grandma and Aunty would always encourage me but my brain was never able to fully convert. Now that I am making plushies for nephews and my children’s friends children I need to find that perfect feeling hook and am realizing it’s a bit more complicated than knitting needles. I have Susan Bates, Clover, Addi (Which I sadly despise) and a few plastic Prym. I love the length and shape of the Prym but now that I’m getting more confident the drag is becoming, well a real drag and I’m ready to speed things up. Thank you for the insight, off to search the internet 🥰
FYI Prym does also make hooks with metal heads! They're not exactly the same handle shape but might be worth a try?
I have the addi comfort color hooks and love them. The clover amours are too short for me ( knife grip) and rub the edge of my hand.
Thank you for the comparison. i think the thumb hold on the dots would be a big problem for me. I love my amour hooks.
Love this review, Tni!…I am a Clover Lover,..have lots,..BUT THEY ARE PRCEY…SO I WILL TRY THE Dots…I hold my hook pencil style,..so don’t think the bump would trouble me…wish I could learn to hold t knife style too, just to vary pressure on my wrists…thanks for a great video…you are so very nice…♥️
Hi, I was on the fence about buying a set of the dot hooks, as I have one 5.5 mm clover and I love it! (I decided to try a hook before getting the whole set of clover.) Then I heard of the dot hooks, and I finally got them! I love them! I wish they had a 7 mm because that's the size I'm using now for a project and I'd use theirs if they only had one! I did a review also on my channel. I am not sad that I bought it, that's for sure! Thanks!
