Me at minute 1 “What can be so different about hooks?”...Me at minute 18 “I need a spreadsheet to keep track of all these features that I now must have!” 😳 I will never look at crochet hooks the same 😆. Thanks for the most enjoyable 35 minutes of my day.
Re: spreadsheet... I just created a worksheet of all my favorite yarns and their respective characteristics.
LITERALLY SAME!
SAME, especially the price! I didn’t know 1 crochet hook can cost more than $30
@@byDsign may you send that spreadsheet to me pls?
@@kimallen3137 .... what's your email addy?
I had such IMMENSE guilt when I started knitting because I dropped $140.00 on a full set of ChaioGoo needles. I had feelings of “I’m just a beginner” and “I don’t exactly know what I’m doing, so why do I need to spend this $$$ on a fancy needle set” etc. I feel so validated after watching this. Hearing someone else say that it’s OK (nay, important even) to invest in your interest so you don’t have to FIGHT or STRUGGLE just to enjoy the creative process is so refreshing. And I do feel like good tools made me a more adventurous crafter. Thank you for telling people that they deserve to have the best they can afford for their creative outlet of choice ♥️♥️♥️
Chiaogoo are glorious to use! I'm also a beginner knitter but I'm enjoying using these needles so much more than I did my cheap bamboo ones. They might have been expensive, but I'm so glad I went ahead with them anyway.
You'll ultimately spend a lot LESS money just buying good tools up front than buying multiple bad tools until finding the one you like. I had the same argument with myself over the chiagoo needles, but I don't regret it for a minute. I figured that I would ultimately end up buying them eventually anyway, but in the mean time would have probably spent just as much on bad tools until I got to that point.
I also bought Chiagoo to learn how to knit after crocheting for 45 years and I’m SO glad I did. Your work is as good as your tools and let’s face it, knitting is hard, lol, but thanks to my Chiagoo, I have finally learned. I have such a sense of accomplishment after trying many times with inferior needles. Chiagoo rocks!!!
I did that exact thing as you when I decided to get serious about knitting. I started off with a set of $12 bamboo needles from Amazon that I used to learn to knit. About an hour later, I knew knitting would be for me and decided to buy a good set of needles so I would enjoy the process more. My only problem with Chiaogoo needles is I started off with 5" complete twist set and now own the 5" & 4" set in Twist and Spin, the red and blue shorties, and the Minis. Those needles are a joy to use. Now, I'm thinking of getting the Tunisian interchangeable set.
I wouldn't do that as a beginner because I think it takes a bit to decide exactly what you want in a needle. That said, Chiaogoos are exactly where I ended up! I kinda want to try Tunisian out but I won't even try newish regular hooks because I love the Bates I have from my gramma (they are from the 60s) and I can't do ergos, but now knowing that Chiaogoo makes those I think I'll order just one.
As someone who has been using the same set of generic metal hooks that I bought from China off of Ebay 10+ years ago as an eager middle schooler, I'm super fascinated by all of the crazy different types of crochet hooks there are out there!
My favorites are cheapies (in the cloth diaper world, which is a whole other obsession we call generic diapers from China “China cheapies” and it’s interesting how these groups intersect 😂). I have two full sets because I keep coming back to them and want to have one at home and one for on the go. I went on vacation and didn’t want to risk losing my favorite hook - but also I wanted to have it with me. So I bought more. At $16 for a whole set, who can resist??? 😂😂😂 That said, I have purchased cheap hooks I don’t like. And a couple expensive name brands that I don’t ever use.
Same feeling! Thanks for your honesty with this review!
I am new to this world I have been a knitter since a child and tried crochet several times but just couldn’t get it. I think I am an over understander, so this really helps me as I now have a better understanding of hooks etc. thank you ❤

"... get outta my face!..."
My daddy was a Master Craftsman and he taught me to *always invest in good tools.*
Agree. When I got a bit more serious about crochet I did tons of research and bought a few premium hooks to try. It took patience to figure out what worked best, but once I found the right hooks for me I bought a whole set. They cost a fortune but I haven't had any hand discomfort since, and that's the most important thing since I crochet for several hours a day. I can't stress enough the importance to taking a little bit of time and money (if you're in a position to do so of course) to find the best quality tools for you.
Agreeeed, it always pays off!
YES! Sounds like my dad, too 😁
@@camille4574 what is the set of hooks that you bought called?
The money spent on good tools is always less than that spent on cheaply made tools.
“I can’t stand it. I WON’T stand it. And you shouldn’t either!”
I need that on a t-shirt 😂🙌🏽
I just came to the comments to say I am LIVING for that rant, it's like preach, girl!
I'd buy one

Girl you don’t need concealer , your skin looks perfect
I know! It sounds kinda weird (and I don't mean it to be) but she has BEAUTIFUL skin.
The "concealer" is to conceal her yarn from her cats.
“I need to speak to a manager.” 😂
I could listen to her talk all day. Loving the honesty, humor and the thorough reviews!
“I can’t stand it. I won’t stand it, and you shouldn’t either.” Is my new motto 🙃
You really make a good point about investing in tools that are going to make it a joy to sit and crochet/knit. You’re right: I’ve tried to make hooks work by using a nail file and clear nail polish to smooth out a rough wooden knitting needle or crochet hook. if I just would’ve invested in a better quality hook then I wouldn’t have to do all of that fooling around to make it work. Life is too short!
Yup! You shouldn’t have to do arts and crafts before you can do your arts and crafts.
@@belantww that’s a good way to put it!!!
ML words all you need is some sandpaper.Rub it across your hook a few times and it will be smooth as silk Denise from VA USA❤❤😀
@@denisehaley2448 thanks! Yeah, I know. But I was buying really cheap hooks. I need to up my game. I’m closer to the grave than the cradle!! I want to live the rest of my life with more quality!😜😜😜😃😃. I love this channel.
@@mls_words_of_wisdom yep! You gotta enjoy life, after all joy is priceless!
“I don’t know that I strike you as the kind of person who keeps sandpaper in my house.” Dead.
Loved these reviews and glad to know I’m not alone in having mystery Amazon unboxings from time to time.
My favorite thing she said 😂
I'm quite sure I have somewhere some sandpaper unless I managed to accidently to throw it away.
When she said that I laughed outloud with my husband trying to fall asleep next to me! This was my first video of hers I have seen. My DIL is trying to teach me to crochet.
Drop-dead funny!
Catch me quoting this line before grumbling to myself stealing my brother's sandpaper, cause he's the reason why I have sandpaper everywhere. XD
Honestly I got all my hooks from the .99 cent only stores and Daiso. Daiso recently revamped their hooks to have an ergonomic handle and added an acrylic 12 and 15 hooks
Daiso has weird head that can really interfere with when you get the head through the loops. There's a reason why people love Tulip and Clover brands, despite the higher prices.
It's in Japanese but here's a VERY detailed comparison between the two: ua-cam.com/video/6ec-BfLzJ8I/v-deo.html
I have the 12 acrylic as i needed one for one of my yarns and couldn’t find any others in that size near me and they are actually rlly good tbh. Obviously if u r using them for extended periods it can and most often will make you hands a bit sore but they r actually quite nice
@@GabrielleduVent
Thank you for sharing that review! It is wonderfully comprehensive and while I'm thankful YT autotranslates videos these days, it's clear enough to understand the problems even if it were completely muted and not captioned.
my mom crochet my entire childhood and I always tried to pick it up but struggled so hard with the super basic plastic needles and ended up stopping and picking it back up a bunch of times. up until this year when I got the metal ergonomic hooks with the silicone on them and now it’s all I do!!! I wish more people talked ab the importance of good hooks/good hooks for an individual! I know I don’t have the best hooks out there- but it was such a game changer.
You my *Snob Twin!* ♥♥♥ I crochet for my own sanity and pleasure. I'll be damned if I'm gone fight with a hook.
I like using these sexy viscose, pima cotton, silky yarns and to have the hook snag my beautiful yarn? Where's the manager??? LOL!
“I got a lotta reasons, and I ain’t never using these hooks again.” Your comments about the Divit Shilp hooks had. me. rolling!! 😂😂😂 I love your honesty but especially your sense of humor!! Thanks for falling on the sword for the rest of us in the name of “science” 😂😘❤️
As she went through the list of reasons at the end, the aesthetic ones that might keep her from owning a full set, right?, I almost could imagine that she was getting cheap imitation knock-offs. It was the inconsistent font that REALLY sold that to me... but at the same time... THEY are the imitation themselves!
“I don’t *want* to, but I will because I love you.” Awww, we love you too, Ms Toni! 💕🩷🩵
We NEED a video tour of your abundant crochet hook stash and how you organize it. Love all your videos!
Yesssss definetly i love ur energy
I love your honest reviews. I truly believe that a poorly made crochet hook will turn off a beginner as quickly as poor yarn.
"I need to speak to a manager" 😂😂😂
"Your tools should be an afterthought, all things considered." BEST line ever! Thank you for this. I don't have a bunch of money to spend on crochet hooks. I'm so happy to see you reviewing less expensive hooks in this video. Thank you!
p.s. LOVE your yarn reviews, too!
Hello! Thank you for this helpful video! I recently tried the Clover Amour and fell in love with the hook shape but need a longer shaft and handle. I have pretty large hands and like it to land on the heel of my hand. When I saw the Prym head, I thought maybe I'd like those but I'm curious about the plastic. I've used plastic before and they're great at first but after use the finish wears and they don't glide well at all. Have you used the Prym enough to know if the finish holds up? Thank you so much, I love reviews and you move right thru them with great info!!
As someone who is broke and got most of their yarn/crochet hooks from Walmart, thank you for exploring cheaper options! I’m a college student and am having enough trouble making sure I have enough money for books, let alone super high-quality and/or expensive hook sets. I’ve only been crocheting for a little over a month but it’s my default reaction now to any stressful situations and I can truly lose myself in this hobby. Using your input with these hooks I can see which ones I’d most likely prefer without having to spend my college fund to do it. Keep up the amazing work ❤️
Good morning! Have a blessed day everyone!
You too!
🤗🤗🤗💕
You too!
I feel like the light up hooks would work well for traveling especially when on a plane.
Thank you for the lovely reviews! You never know when ordering from Amazon.
I love my Prym Ergonomics! Being Danish I (of course) got them at Hobbii... just so you know an alternative to Amazon ;-)
Thank you for your review
They carry them at Michael's now
Yeahh i love Prym too, that brand is pretty much everywhere in Finland. All my sewing supplies are Prym
Yes! Preach about the reason behind beginners may not want to continue due to the hooks not being right. People like you are the reason I continued to crochet even though I didn't have the best experience in the beginning. I am a few years into crocheting and love it but I researched my little behind off when I felt myself getting so frustrated. Watching videos like this, the yarn videos, and techniques are so valuable for us all so thank you truly from the bottom of my heart ❤ 👏
This was what I needed this morning. Lots of laughs and the recommendation of the Prym hooks makes me want to try them out! As for light-up hook sets, I thought they were a gimmick too until my husband bought me a cheap set for Christmas last year. They are perfect for crocheting in the car late at night!
Love the Pryms
The Prym hooks are really nice.
I have only seen Prym crochet hooks where I live in Germany but I have yet to come across a whole set
I've been looking at light up hooks. Do you know which brand?
@@jelleykat not sure what my husband got, just some random amazon brand 🤷♀️ I wish I had a good recommendation for you but I haven’t tried any others to know if they are a good set or not either
"which is now on the ground bc it was crap" followed by "unusable hooks *drops it on the ground*" DYING 😂😂 thank you for adding humor to my sunday
Yeah. Toni is really honest and funny. I liked that too.
"I don't want to, but I will for you"
I love her sm :))
Pausing the video to say you have no idea how much I love the way you review crochet materials and yarns. It is so refreshing to see someone so expressive, with a great sense of humor and giving honest feedback in a kind way. If you have a negative review, you are honest but kind. You have personality for DAYS. Am working on one of your projects right now and am so frustrated with the new hook I got for it that this video is super timely.
Prym hooks are now in my Amazon cart! Can’t wait to get them and try them out. Thanks for all the good information!
I love mine...better than Furls for me 🧶
Those Prym hooks are interesting. I can't use ergos because I have small hands, but the handles might be ok. Only problem is that plastic. Hate plastic hooks.
Prym hooks my go to hook , I have spent silly money on furls but prym for me are far nicer , prefer them to clover armore,
I have the bigger size set and love them. Fairly easy to get hold of in the UK
@@fuzzypumpkin7743 I don't know if this is still usefull information (since your comment was a year ago) but I also have quite small hands and I love my prym hooks
I started crocheting about 7 months ago, and your channel is a godsend. You’re so entertaining and you teach me so much about my new favorite hobby.
I’m an old lady but new to crochet. I never knew there was so much to know about hooks! I may not keep crocheting but I’ll still watch you’re videos because you are hilarious! The sand paper comment had me rolling!
I started crocheting more than 50 years ago. I started again last year. What a difference in available hooks, yarns and especially help and advise from people like you. I didn’t even know different hooks made it easier as well as nicer to work with. Thanks for your tutorials and videos comparing hooks as well as yarn. So much fun to watch.
Super smooth?
“Oh, we about to find out!” 🤔😂😂😂😂😆😂🤣🥲
I love this: "this cute little plastic thing is probably gonna get lost, so you need to prepare for that." Story of my life! This is the type of honest review I need for things. ;)
Wow... I even didn't know how hard it is to find a good hook. When I started crocheting I just bought one in placed craft store and it was absolutely fine! Now I'm crocheting about 4 years but this one is still in use. It's usual steel hook, colored by red metallic painting, without any lighting or handle, but this hook and yarn are like a hot knife and butter. I'm absolutely in love with it.
It costed less than 1$.
A great dupe for the prym crochet hooks is sold at hobby lobby. They are almost exactly alike and are MUCH much cheaper, around 2 dollars a hook. They are very reliable, I've had the ones I have rn for a little less than a year, and there is no sign of wear. They also have different colors for different hook sizes that you can see throughout the hook. So no matter how you store it, you know the size. The sizes range from 5 mm to 15 mm. Works well for all grips. It's also very pretty with some floral details. The hooks are called luxury crochet hook/ ergonomic crochet hook.
Prym has been available in Britain since I was knee high to nothing, and earlier, and I'm a pensioner. Actually it is a verrrrrry old company founded in Germany in 1530. I've really enjoyed this video, thanks for inviting us to watch. One thing I have noticed as a lurker on all things crochet on Amazon is how much cheaper it is to buy a set of crochet hooks as apposed to buying them individually. I eventually bought two sets one with UK sizes and one with European sizes and yes I have a host of spares, just in case!
P.S. I'm crocheting a scarf whilst watching your video. 😀
Toni, PREACH! Buy one quality hook if you can't buy a whole set! Quality tools make SUCH a difference. i crocheted years ago and since coming back to the craft and buying quality tools I am so much happier and having fun with it! The sandpaper comment........I laughed out loud, which I needed! Thanks!
I bought the Denise interchangeable Tunisian crochet hook set after seeing your review and spending the money was well worth it! Thanks Toni!
Just received my first Prym crochet hook. OMG!!! I started crocheting a blanket is morning and I’m still working on it 7 hours later. I have taken breaks in between but it makes crocheting fun again. Absolutely, no hand fatigue. So I ordered both sets.
I love the moment when you were like No I hate these Tunisian hooks. So validating for me! After I learned the new technique I thought maybe I should get some hooks. I went cheap like $12 cheap and I hated them. Felt bad I just threw them away. I saved up and got a better set. So nice to know I wasn’t being crazy, always thought maybe I needed to try harder to make them work. Like it was me not them. Thanks for relieving my guilt. As always thanks for the great video!!
My first video with her, and I'm in love. I'm new at crochet, and she is exactly the person I need to learn from.💜
'She like butter'-- Has me dead! I have rewinded to hear it no less than 3x. You are awesome.
Watching this on my lunch break and I’m CACKLING! Love this. I really dislike Amazon, so I loved watching Toni drag some products. I also love that she found some nice, inexpensive, and accessible tools.
Crocheting while watching your videos is one of my favourite things to do. Great as always :)
I did my yoga stretching for the day while I watched. I want to crochet now!!!!!
A million dollar review! I trust few reviewers as much as you, Toni. As for colour sense and design, you are at the top of the list.
“I have no concealer”
Honey, you don’t need no concealer :D
Glad I'm not the only one who let's their Amazon packages pile up lol
I love you LOL “hideous and I can’t” LOL my 2 favorite word combos LOL
I live in Latvia and taught myself to crochet just a few months ago. Prym 7mm was the 1st hook I ever tried. It is what is commonly available here. Absolutely love Prym sewing and yarn craft notions now.
I'm pretty new to crochet and working on my first large WIP. I would have NEVER THOUGHT the yarn combo matched with the wrong hook could make for such an unenjoyable experience!! I'm tight on money so I had to pick up a Red Heart brand on sale and an every day regular hook on the rack. The RESIDUE that builds up on the hook when working with that yarn is atrocious. I can work through it, but I'm also finding myself washing my hook with Dawn dish soap to fully get the sticky gunk off when it gets so sticky I can't crochet. I'm glad I clicked on this video. I can't wait to learn more about quality tools and yarns!
After watching this I bought the pink lighted hook set. I’m really happy with it. I recently had double carpel tunnel surgery and have been crocheting a lot to rehabilitate my hands. I especially like the ergonomic shape of the handle and the longer neck of the hook. The usb lighting is also helpful when up I’m up late crocheting in bed and don’t want to disturb my old man’s snoring. Thanks for the great info gf! Peace, Am
I would LOVE to see a series of you trying out different kinds of crochet hooks & supplies!! This is my favorite video from your channel!
These Curls look magnificent, just perfection👌🏻
I love how honest you're being with these reviews and I love the way you say WRENCH.
Thank you for testing these out for us, Toni! I just purchased the Prym set and the first interchangeable set you showed which I think will be great for travel.
OMG. I totally agree with you about the Prym set. I got the same set awhile back and they are an absolute dream to work with, as a lot of what I can find locally isn't the best quality. (They're pretty, too!) Thanks for all these videos. I'm enjoying them so much!
I have that set of plastic Tunisian hooks. Your assessment is spot on. They're not completely unusable, but they're not great. I bought them just so I could learn, and am planning on investing in a good set for myself now.❤️
I laughed when you got excited at the 7mm hook head. I feel that so much! I always get that way when I find 7mm hooks, they really are so rare. Great video! Thank you for making it!
I've been wanting to try the Pyrm hooks too, but they're not Australian. They're a German brand and used widely in Europe. They look like they would fit in my larger hand too, and they do glide. Thanks for showing them. ⭐
She said, Germany.
Regarding the Divit Shipley hooks. I read most of the reviews on Amazon and many people mentioned the lettering being where their thumb rested. Anything from mental irritation to actual physical irritation or pain were the results. That factor is why I spent the extra money on the Furls crochet hooks. Thank you for honesty in your reviews and with us.
I love my lighted hooks! They're the best on night flights, long car rides, or absolutely anywhere it is slightly dark. I've even used one at an outdoor jazz show after the sunset!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE those little scissors! They are so cute! And I agree, I love the blues, teals and purples too.
Girl, I love being able to crochet in darker places and the light is awesome!
"I am not torturing myself for science today..." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"idk if i strike you as the kind of person that keeps sandpaper in their house..."
I adore you!
Since finding the prym ergonomic hooks,I haven’t used any others, I love them!
I absolutely love the nail color choices, super cute!
Your reviews are nothing less than amazing! I completely trust what your thoughts & feelings on the products you try out! Thank you for your honesty!
Love, Love, Love my Prym hooks. Glad you enjoyed them!
You crack me up!! I get all crazy about yarn and hooks journal books and pens ...I wish we could hang out and crochet together!! 💕☀️🤣☀️💕
You are great! I learned to crochet when I was young and picked it up again. I love how genuine you are!! You made me laugh, in a great way!!
Toni your comments are hilarious! I love your honesty and your facial expressions, thank you for being a yarn snob and your videos!
My bf had bought me the 2nd gen yarn mania crochet hooks and I really do love it. I love how the set had all the hooks I would use and more. I honestly thought the handle wouldn’t work for me but after a couple of stitches/rows I had gotten used to it. It’s now my go to set of hooks
Love the review. I have my own favorites. It has taken me a few years to find the ones that work for me. But, it is great to see other brands I didn't even know existed. When you were demonstrating your crochet technique, I could see it is far different from the way I hold and use my hook. That is why this such a valuable review. We are all unique and need to find the right hook match for us:) Thank you!
3 yrs now and I've learned so much about hooks. Bates and Tulip Etimo are my favs. This review helped even more. Thanks.
I had to thank you for this review. I honestly haven't thought about my hooks and how they affect my desire to crochet, but the lights have come on and I will now invest in some good hooks. I'm basically a beginner, and your fun reviews will help me stay with this hobby. Thank you! thank you! thank you!! I love your sense of humor too 😊
I’m a Clover girl. Now I want to be a Prym girl 😍😂. Definitely one of your best videos yet!
I have been looking at the Prym hooks for a while on Etsy. I’m glad you pointed out that they’re comfortable in your hands because my hands are large as well, so those are officially on the list!
This is fantastic and all so true! You want to enjoy a new craft. Thanks so so much! You are a joy to watch!
I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your honesty!!
This inspired me to track down and order a set of the Prym hooks! After having worked with them for about 2 weeks my life has been changed.
I LOVE my prym hooks.
I’m a pencil crocheter and I look at all these beautiful ergonomic, fat or curved, hooks and I think oh how beautiful. Oh I wish I had a knife hold 😭... Then I see you struggling and getting grumpy at hooks that make an “attempt” and then I think oh! It’s not all fields of roses. So thank you for disabusing me of the notion that how I crochet was somehow not good enough... 🧶❤️
I read somewhere that someone with a pencil grip really loved the swing style handles, so I wouldn't discount trying it for yourself, if you want to. I occasionally switch grips to pencil grip just to see if I can do it (Idk, it's interesting to me how it's done), and I'm getting better at it, but I'm definitely a knife grip person.
English is not my first language and when I first read your comment I thought you couldn't afford a regular crochet hook and had to crochet with a pencil 😂😂 then I got it. 😅😅
I'm really glad to see the first interchangeable crochet set because I got it about 2 years ago and I really loved it and glad Toni liked it. It's my go to for school or work, instead of having every hook size with me
Really appreciate your videos. You taught me so much about crocheting, I don't even tell people I'm self taught anymore. Your videos helped me become confident enough to start my business and I just got my first custom order! Thanks a ton!
Prym is used by Arne & Carlos, they even give the yarn packs at their workshops with Prym as tools. You will love the needles
Your nails with those Prym hooks are sooooooo cute 🥰
Love your comments, very honest. I learned a lot about crochet hooks today. You also saved me a ton of money because I know what not to buy! I look at hooks on Amazon, but I haven't been brave enough to actually buy something that I might not like. Very helpful. Thanks!
I've learned so much about options and various companies from my UA-cam crochet communities! Thanks for this review of crochet hooks.
You were sooo right about tape measures! I found this out earlier this year and went to Home Depot and bought several of those yellow Carpenter ones and threw out my retractable ones. Of course my knitting friends thought I was nuts. In one sentence you confirmed what I suspected for over a year. Also, is there going to be a second episode for the unboxing of your Amazon crochet haul?
Fantastic review!! You've got me 'hooked for life! New subby alert!
Thank you Ms. Toni. I learned so much from this and. I'm in my 60s and learned how to crochet and knit when I was9 or 10. My first hook was a simple red plastic one. We've come a long way it seems.
Toni, you are a ray of sunshine! Watching your videos is like hanging out with a best friend... actually it's exactly like hanging out with one of my besties because I usually can't get in a word edgewise with them when we're face to face! 🤣 Seriously though, thank you so much for your amazing videos and mostly for just being YOU!!! 💕
Me, sitting here crocheting with my Knit Picks hook, which I LOVE...
Before you said it i could tell prym is made with ergonomics in mind. I need a set like that cause my wrists are not managing well
I’ve watched this video sooo many times. I just love it and always come back to it. It’s like a comfort video to me
This is the first time that I caught you and your review is spot on. I appreciate your candid approach when you reviewed these tools. Thank you so much will look forward to seeing you again.
Thanks again,

I got the Prym hooks for Christmas. I love how the yarn(all types) glide on the hooks. I did find that it seamed that the actual hook sizing was off. For example, when I used the 5.0 hook my swatch was a quite a bit larger than when I used my Tulip hook. Did anyone else have this issue?
Thank you so much. I'm trying to rediscover my love for crochet that I had in my teens. That was a long time ago. So I really didn't know what makes hooks good. Now I think I'm ready to buy some good hooks thanks to you. Love your channel.
Thank you Toni. As always, I enjoyed you review!! Happy 2022.
