      That was super informative! I never knew about there being different MM sizes with the same letter. O_O Thank you so much for sharing everything. I never heard of that locker hooking needle either. I love that!

    Amazing video there! I love how you're very fair and never once discriminate any of the different types of hooks nor even telling your audience what you prefer, many crocheters on UA-cam do that and ended up trashing a certain type of material or even brand, which I don't really like, because it almost always favours the expensive brands, which as budget yarn crafters can feel very discouraged and almost like being "looked down", and being a non-American, things can get very expensive in some other currencies even if they are affordable in USD.
    I really love and appreciate your positive and calming introduction to all these tools. Keep those amazing videos up, looking forward to more of your videos.

    This video is so informative! My hooks are marked with mm sizes and letters but often those letters don't correspond with what I see in the crochet videos around the YT. Those aluminium hooks are so so pretty and I'd love to buy a set of them but I couldn't use them as my fingers can't work with hooks without ergonomic handles. They are healthy and as far as I can feel there's nothing wrong about them but a few minutes with regular metal hooks and my fingers start to get numb and sometimes even hurt.

      The glass one is really cool! It's kind of smooth and very slick, so if you are working with already-slippery yarn (like nylon or bamboo) it can be a challenge. Other than that it does quite well with all other types of yarn.

    Hello Donna. I follow you quite a bit on utube & I thoroughly enjoy your tutorials. I've been crocheting for 8 yrs & only by tutorials. My question is why is there no crochet hook 4.75 or why is it not included in kits? I have found 1 online but I'm not paying 4x the price for shipping of the hook. I definitely would be interested in purchasing one. Thanks so much from this Canadian gal

    • @naztazia
      @naztazia  2 роки тому

      Here in the USA and Canada, crochet hooks have been "standardized" by the handful of larger companies that make them. Three that come to mind are Boye (Wrights), Susan Bates (Yarnspirations/Spinrite), and Lion Brand. They don't include a 4.75 mm in their current standards for whatever reason. Other countries might have their own standards that include a 4.75 mm hook, which is why they do exist, and designers who have one in their own collection might use that one in their patterns.

    You mentioned the locker hook
    There is also one called a knook it in 4 sizes you chain whatever sts say 15 then pick up sts as in tunisian
    There is an eyelet at end of hook you thread a cord in eyelet
    Then pull sts through on to cord and knit as can see this can be used for crochet rug hooking and knitting all in this 1 hook

  • @ivanaparty85
    @ivanaparty85 12 днів тому

    I just need to know if the acrylic hooks are better for chenille yarn

    • @naztazia
      @naztazia  11 днів тому

      It depends upon what fiber the chenille is made from, since the term "chenille" refers to the type of yarn that has little fuzzy piles. Acrylic hooks are good when the yarn is not-slippery. When the yarn is slippery, bamboo is probably the best since it offers some resistance. So if the chenille is made of cotton, acrylic hooks would be good, as it is not a slippery fiber. However, if the chenille is made of rayon, that's usually a slippery yarn, and might be better with bamboo.

    • @naztazia
      @naztazia  3 роки тому

      Which one do you mean, the locker hooking one (hook/sewing needle combo)? If so, locker hooking was/is done to make rugs, handbags, wall hangings, etc. You would use a canvas (the kind in latch hooking), yarn/twine, and fabric strips. Guess I need to do a video on it?

      On a crochet hook, numbers like that are usually millimeter measurements 6.5 mm. The USA letter equivalent would be the letter K.
