You know what, let's be crazy - I'm gonna order Tunisian crochet as my Christmas gift for myself and I'm gonna learn how to make beautiful stuffs with Tunisian crochet :D
@@reeceharries3634 no 😂 I had carpal tunnel surgery and it was too painful. I'm getting back in it again. I think I'll look up a washcloth to try it out. I wish Armour clover or chiaogoo made a Tunisian set
Thank you! My friend's grandmother who I adored passed away a while back and my friend told me I should take her crafting material since no one else would want them... Well let's just say it was like an apprentice magician stepping into and old master wizard's magical cottage... her whole house was a perfectly kept time capsule of the late 60s. There were crafting things I had never seen before... Every size hook and needle you could ever imagine. Old patterns and books for everything. One tool was a super long crochet hook! I had never seen it before and now here I am amazed! I'm very excited to learn how to use this tool. I've been crocheting basically my whole life but I had no idea this existed! I miss her so much such a sweet woman and a talented crafter. Glad I am able to keep her tools and give them a new life in my home ❤️
Carli u are so so lucky!!!! That must have beeen hard inheriting her craft stuff as u mourned her loss!! I inherited my mom-in-laws craft stuff when she passed but neither she nor I knew about tsunisian crochet!!! I’m just learning about it now!! Let her memory spur u on to make some pretty stuff in her honor!!
@@n1iwr it was definitely tough because she was very dear to us all but yes it's so nice that a little part of her lives on through my projects ❤️ I also got a few of her plants ❤️ so amazing to have these things she used to love to remember her with! Back at you! We can keep the memory of our loved ones alive by continuing to pass down the things they held dear and had interest in!
That must have been so awesome. My grandmother taught me to to crochet but was 16 and didnt do much. She didnt have many written patterns they were mainly in her head lol. I do crochet a lot better and a lot more stuff thanks to her.
I discovered Tunisian crochet about a year ago and have collected a number of hooks. I started using my 12" fixed Tunisian hooks for "regular" crocheting and discovered an interesting side benefit. I found myself holding the hook with my hand farther back on the shaft than I would normally do on standard crochet hooks. This meant that I could get greater motion with less work from my hand (it's difficult to explain with words), and I didn't get the same complaints in my carpal tunnel ligaments that I had previously had during extended periods of crocheting. Using the long Tunisian hooks has practically eliminated any wrist/forearm pain from my crocheting experience. I will NEVER go back to using standard length crochet hooks if I can help it!
If you use a knife grip and rotate the hook by rolling it between your fingers to catch loops you virtually don't have to move your wrist at all. Its also a lot faster.
@@Mrs.Silversmith I do use a knife grip, and you are right. I find that the longer crochet hook amplifies every little movement, making the knife grip even easier.
Just bought your book The Tunisian Crochet Handbook all I have to say is Fantastic so easy to understand and such a wide range of guidance thank you. 👍😁
Wow! Thank you so much. I’m new to crocheting and a housemate has been trying to convince me to knit. I’ll like the look and feel but the 2 needles, no hook at the end and all those stitches feels overwhelming! Discovering this Tunisian style with your excellent instruction has made it all accessible. I can’t thank you enough! Blessings
I just inherited some yarn supplies from my mother in law who passed away and it included a bamboo Tunisian crochet hook. Your break down of the basics and how they are used was super helpful! I can’t wait to give this method a try!
This was an amazing tutorial! Thank you! I’m generally a knitter, and I have all the things Chiagoo, and they are top quality. I will look into their set for this type of crochet! (PS: You teach so nicely that I’m certain I would have done much better in math had you been the teacher!!😊). Thanks again!!
Thank you for presenting this. Saw some Tunisian crocheting on Facebook and fascinated. As a left-hander I always found knitting awkward and unsatisfying - even when learning to do it "left". Learned to crochet right-handed, tho' I'm told my movements look weird. Tickled to discover I can "knit" as a crocheter. Will be ordering a starter set of long hooks.
OMG, what an eye opener, My first crochet project, an intricate doily, age 9, my grandmother, handed me a silver hook, and some satiny thread, I learnt it. But in the back of my head, I said, OK I will learnt it, but I will never touch yarn EVER. Few years down the road, age 13, I had been taught lots other crafts, cross stitch, needlepoint, knitting, sewing. cooking, baking, got engaged age 13, married 15. still hated crocheting, mother-in-law taught me newborn cardigan, booties, dress, I was hooked for life. I learnt lots over the years, still learn something daily, I love You Tube, but today you have blown me way, showing me these hooks and things you can do with them. Awesome, liked, subscribed. Thank you so much.
Great video Toni! I started out doing Tunisian a few years ago making a scarf. All I could get was a metal hook with a rounder head and it made the experience miserable. I then watched your review on the Denise Interchangeable Set. I normally do not like plastic but they were such a great deal and were contributing to breast cancer research I bought them. What a HUGE difference for me. The glide into every yarn I’ve used them on like a breeze. I love them. As a knitter also I love my ChiaoGoo interchangeables sets and would definitely consider getting a set of them or the Clover. Metal just does not work for me with Tunisian but it is my go to for knitting. Go figure! Thanks for this great video!
Love Tunisian! I bought every kind & type of hook I could find in the beginning-even those fancy Furls when they first came out. Bamboo or wood hooks are my faves: Clover/Takumi, ChiaoGoo, Knitter’s Pride with cables. I’m a little rambunctious & haven’t used the Furls as I’m afraid I’ll break them. Thanks for your insights Toni; when I see Tunisian & TL Yarn Crafts together, it’s a must-watch video!
Thank you for your tutorials...I'm just starting and I find your instructions the best to follow. Your voice is easy to follow and I will be watching all your tutorials during my journey into the world of Tunisian crochet. I have been crocheting for many many years and I also knit but this is the best of both worlds...Again THANK YOU!
This was so helpful! Thank you for this masterclass in tools of the trade for Tunisian crochet. I've been wanting to dive more seriously into Tunisian crochet, but had no idea how to find the tools to do so. I will definitely be obtaining some now!
Just want to say how much I love watching your videos! You explain so clearly and show everything so well. I love the yarns you use and the way you present the pieces you have worked on. Your channel is a joy to watch.
Thanks. 7 years ago, when I started crocheting, I bought a Tunisian hook when I was buying a bunch of hooks to start with. I've never used it but this video makes Tunisian crochet look interesting and do-able. I think I'll watch one of your beginner tutorials and give it a try. =)
I am obsessed with you and have watched a ton of your videos but now I'm ready to try Tunisian Crochet. I just started a month or two ago, but got lucky because crochet came easy (mathematician plus sensory processing made it easy for me to completely done out and dive in.) Thank you for all you do.
Basic tunisian crochet is all I've tried, beautiful results. I fully intend to be more adventurous with TUNISIAN stitches in future. This info def helps with equipment & storage ideas. TYSM
Thank you for explaining what to look for when choosing a hook. I am an intermediate crocheter and want to branch out and learn tunisian. Started shopping on Amazon and was totally confused on what to buy for practicing. Your video gave me the information I needed so thank you.
I just can across this stitch a few months ago. I love it! I’m also happy I found it, takes the place of traditional knitting and is easier for me. Thank you for this video. It’s very helpful and the first one that I found explaining the different hooks.
I'm glad I decided to watch this video before buying a hook set, thank you for including that last option for double ended hooks! You saved me from buying two identical sets just so I could have double ended ones, lol!
I have been so intimidated by Tunisian crochet that I’ve refused to even watch a tutorial. The fact that I’d need new hooks made me even more hesitant. Thank you for making this video starting with the hooks. Tunisian crochet is so beautiful! I feel ready to give it a try!
You can start with small projects that don't require special hooks, there are many patterns out there specifically written for Tunisian crochet with regular hooks 😊
If you already have some interchangeable knitting needles, check and see if the same brand makes interchangeable crochet hooks too. That way you can use the cords and stoppers for both. I have compatible sets and I really like the versatility this offers.
Your video is came out at the perfect time for me. After discovering your channel, I ordered a super big Tunisian hook from Amazon and made a scarf. I love how it turned out in the process though the long hook was awkward to work with. So then I went over to nitpicks and purchased a few smaller hooks that can connect to my interchangeable cables that came with my nitpicks set.
Thanks for the tips. Made a beautiful ruana kit after I found your videos on Tunisian crochet. Love how projects work up. Ended up purchasing bamboo hooks with the nylon tubing extensions. Need to make a pillow with Tunisian crochet.
I'm new to crochet. I absolutely love your channel. You are the best teacher. I'm ready to experiment with Tunisian crochet so I'm going to use your links to buy some hooks. Thank you so for sharing your talent and knowledge with us. Kind regards from Arkansas! ❣️
Here I am again! Still working I n my "bumps", and how to find downloads! I 💘seeing you every time I go somewhere! I am still working on that cup of coffee! So happy for your new site! Much love 💘!
i really wanted to get one of the furls tunisian hooks, but needed a review/opinion from someone to be sure since they are a bit pricy for me. thank you! you are so talented so i trust your opinions :)
My friend found a lot of yarns and needles in a scrap yard probably from somebody who passed away and got their stuff tossed, amongs them were two of these hooks and im really glad i know what these are now. Im definitely gonna give it a shot someday for sure :>
Great video, so helpful. I have a set of tunisian hooks but I’ve not been comfortable holding more than 10 stitches lol, yours is the only video I’ve come across where you’ve discussed both managing larger numbers of stitches and hook sizes. Ta muchly.
I found a bamboo 6.5 hook at Hobby Lobby today. I have one of your Tunisian Baby Blankets about half-way done. I got this far using a 10 in aluminum Tunisian hook, but then found the regular 6 (or whatever) inch aluminum hook was faster. Just wrapped a rubber band around the end to keep the stiches from falling off. I don't want to admit, however, to how many rows I had to tear out because i skipped stitches and didn't notice. Plus, it just took forever especially at the join spot trying to shove that fat little crochet hook in tight spaces. Plus, the shiny metallic surface blinds me! On to the new pointy bamboo hook I found. I love it! The yarn didn't glide over it very well at first so I went out in the garage and took some 0000 steel wool to it and then polished with some high end furniture wax. It's slicker than snot now! (lol). Its a short one, so I wrapped a rubber band around the end of that one too. Works great! And sooooo much faster, and I don't have to wear sunglasses to crochet anymore! You are so awesome! I'm so glad I found your channel! Thanks for all you do! God bless you!
Awesome video. I inherited several of these hooks and have never known what they were used for. I'm a knitter so knew enough that it was crocheting but keeping stitches on the hook (seemed weird, LOL) but maybe now I'll try Tunisian. Thank you so much.
i have been drooling over those clover hooks for MONTHS and when you said they were on sale i had to apologize to my wallet and buy them. they should be here next week and i can. not. wait! i've done a bit of tunisian crochet and i have 2 straight hooks (1 of which was my grandmother's) but i've really been wanting to do a blanket so i haven't done much. i'd been looking for a good set of cabled hooks and came across those clover ones but MAN were they expensive! but i know clover is a good brand so the price is well worth it. ...plus the case is trimmed in purple, which is kinda my favorite color...i'd love to be able to afford a full compliment of the furls ones that you have bc i remember thinking "my word that is a gorgeous hook" but i don't think that's gonna happen anytime soon. for right now i'll just be glad i have my "dream" hooks on order!
I always love your honest review, you have helped me in the past with picking the proper crochet hooks (Furls) for sure has ease the pain on my hand. Thank you for taking the time to make the video....
I truly enjoyed watching this video. It was so beneficial in helping me take the step in learning Tunisian crochet. I ordered crochet hooks and can't wait until they arrive. Thank so much for sharing your knowledge and love of Tunisian Crochet.
My personal favourite hooks are made by Lantern Moon which are made from silky smooth ebony and they have swivel cords of various lengths. Not cheap but a joy to use!
This is like the knitting version of crochet. I started with knitting and switched to crochet last year cause I wanted to learn it, but this seems like a hybrid to me.
Toni, I got the Knit picks and LOVE them (cables), I also got a set of wood ones for Christmas, but do not like them at all because the "throat: is too narrow and the yarn doesn't stay put. Ugh....oh well, live and learn. One day I would LOVE to afford a whole set of Furls and learn how to do Tunisian in the round.
When I started out in Tunisian crochet, I first collected individual hooks as I could find them in the "big box" craft stores; these were all Susan Bates hooks, and nothing larger than 6.5mm/K. I then found cheap sets of metal and bamboo Tunisian hooks, bamboo double-ended Tunisian hooks, and even cabled Tunisian hooks at Amazon.com (including that aluminum set you showed). I especially enjoy double-ended Tunisian, and have some Susan Bates double-ended hooks, as well as a Crochenit 9mm hook. (I think I probably have a cabled Crochenit hook as well, but haven't used it yet.) Most of those hooks (except for the Crochenit and cabled hooks) I keep in a long hook roll (which probably could be a knitting needle roll-up case, if I knitted) I received in a yarn swap a few years ago. I since have bought a set of Denise interchangeable hooks (although not one with double hooks in each size - so maybe I should get an extra set of hook tips from them for Christmas?). I haven't used them yet, but I love the pretty silk case they came in, and I definitely have used the coordinating notions pouches (and notions) Denise also sells. I should do some more Tunisian projects sometime soon; perhaps a whole bunch of dishcloths to use up my kitchen cotton stash?
Great video Toni! My Denise interchangeable hooks arrived last week and I am in love 😍! I am going to try the long hooks by Furl next. See you at the Tunisian CAL!
I developed a strong dislike for plastic or "acrylic" when they kept breaking on me and caused so much drag lol. I now have all metal but have my eye on a bamboo set
Wow, just discovered your videos and love them! I’m a knitter exploring crochet and my question is regarding interchangeable hooks versus regular hooks. I currently only own a fixed inexpensive set of hooks to aid in repairs for my knitting. If I invested in an interchangeable hook set, could I also use them as “regular” hooks without the cable attached? Is that common? Is it feasible? I love knitting and want to start crochet, I’m very willing to make the investment in good hooks but I’d rather not have duplicates if I don’t need to. Thanks so much in advance for your reply!
Also could you possibly do a review on your favorite traditional crochet hooks? I'm curious to see what you think about the Knitters Pride Waves hooks and the tulip hooks.

I truly enjoyed watching this video. It was so beneficial in helping me take the step in learning Tunisian crochet. I ordered crochet hooks and can't wait until they arrive. Thank so much for sharing your knowledge and love of Tunisian Crochet.
Thank you so much for this video. I have finally getting my Tunisian hooks and start learning.
You are a very good instructor.
I just purchased my first set of Tunisian hooks this morning :-) i can't wait to start! Thank you!
My personal favourite hooks are made by Lantern Moon which are made from silky smooth ebony and they have swivel cords of various lengths. Not cheap but a joy to use!
Just. What. I. Needed. 💖💯 Thank you so much Toni, you and others have become crochet inspiration for me.
Thank you for this information. I was fortunate to win a set from Crochety Clogger. I appreciate your help.
Advocating for me to buy more supplies? Well thank you, I needed the validation :D
Just ordered the Denise2go set for a big project, thank you so much for the recommendation!!!!
Perfect timing! I just bought the Clover set (sadly, not at 50% off) and am working on my first piece! Thank you!
I really love your hooks they're totally pieces of art! ❤️
Awesome, so helpful and thorough. Thank you. 😃💝😃
Love this! Ordering a set today! You've got me hooked.
This is like the knitting version of crochet. I started with knitting and switched to crochet last year cause I wanted to learn it, but this seems like a hybrid to me.
Thanks for this awesome video! I just started Tunisian crochet and just love it. I will definitely be looking for a set!
Hello Toni this is patricia. I just got my hooks and joined in your club. I love the craft.
I appreciate these great resources for Tunisian crochet. Thank you!
I have always been weary if this particular crochet technique. I may give it a try after your review. 😊
Super helpful video! Thanks you! I’m just getting ready to try Tunisian chrochet.
Love my tunisian hooks! You shared awesome info for anyone looking to learn more about this wonderful way to create. Blessings!
Hello, just got the email your book is shipping. I'm so excited. I only have 1 Tunisian hook. I think I might need another one. Thank you.
Thanks thanks THANKS!!!! Excellent info. You're awesome.
I love your videos. They are so clear and concise. I am looking forward to the Tunisian CAL.
wow this was a very informative and fun video thank for all the info love that orange-colored yarn you were using at the beginning
Toni, I got the Knit picks and LOVE them (cables), I also got a set of wood ones for Christmas, but do not like them at all because the "throat: is too narrow and the yarn doesn't stay put. Ugh....oh well, live and learn. One day I would LOVE to afford a whole set of Furls and learn how to do Tunisian in the round.
When I started out in Tunisian crochet, I first collected individual hooks as I could find them in the "big box" craft stores; these were all Susan Bates hooks, and nothing larger than 6.5mm/K. I then found cheap sets of metal and bamboo Tunisian hooks, bamboo double-ended Tunisian hooks, and even cabled Tunisian hooks at Amazon.com (including that aluminum set you showed). I especially enjoy double-ended Tunisian, and have some Susan Bates double-ended hooks, as well as a Crochenit 9mm hook. (I think I probably have a cabled Crochenit hook as well, but haven't used it yet.) Most of those hooks (except for the Crochenit and cabled hooks) I keep in a long hook roll (which probably could be a knitting needle roll-up case, if I knitted) I received in a yarn swap a few years ago. I since have bought a set of Denise interchangeable hooks (although not one with double hooks in each size - so maybe I should get an extra set of hook tips from them for Christmas?). I haven't used them yet, but I love the pretty silk case they came in, and I definitely have used the coordinating notions pouches (and notions) Denise also sells. I should do some more Tunisian projects sometime soon; perhaps a whole bunch of dishcloths to use up my kitchen cotton stash?
It looks verry simply and you have many serverel techniques to use ,thank you for al information ❤️
Another great beginner Tunisian video! Thanks Toni!
straight to the point-I love your presentation.
Thank you so much for your Tunisian crochet videos! I just ordered a set of hooks from the Pink Project collection at Denise.
Great video Toni! My Denise interchangeable hooks arrived last week and I am in love 😍! I am going to try the long hooks by Furl next. See you at the Tunisian CAL!
I absolutely love my wooden hooks. I do have the plastic but do not use them very often.
I developed a strong dislike for plastic or "acrylic" when they kept breaking on me and caused so much drag lol. I now have all metal but have my eye on a bamboo set
Wow, just discovered your videos and love them! I’m a knitter exploring crochet and my question is regarding interchangeable hooks versus regular hooks. I currently only own a fixed inexpensive set of hooks to aid in repairs for my knitting. If I invested in an interchangeable hook set, could I also use them as “regular” hooks without the cable attached? Is that common? Is it feasible? I love knitting and want to start crochet, I’m very willing to make the investment in good hooks but I’d rather not have duplicates if I don’t need to. Thanks so much in advance for your reply!
Yes you can use interchangeable without the cable connected for smaller projects.
Çok güzel oldu eline emeğine sağlık canım benim 👍💯😄
I’m trying Tunisian blanket I’m just now learning
Thank you for this video. It is so informative and straight to the point.
Thank you so very much for your fantastic videos! Hands down, some of the best out there. 💯

Also could you possibly do a review on your favorite traditional crochet hooks? I'm curious to see what you think about the Knitters Pride Waves hooks and the tulip hooks.
Love your videos. Thanks for teaching us.
