- These brands seem very popular in the world of crochet. Just ask Reddit or one of the many Facebook crochet groups. But is it really worth it to spend more money on one of these hooks than on a generic one? Join me on this video, and find out!

Just ordered tulip and clover and looking forward to trying out for myself. Great review 😊
Thank you for your comment!! I hope you enjoy your new hooks soon 😊
The Prym hook seems out of balance for a pencil hold style. I would think a knife hold would be better for that hook. Thanks for the demo.
Oh, definitely! The neck of the hook is way too long for a pencil hold. It’s only saving grace (in my opinion) is that it works great for someone who does a knife hold 😅 Thank you for your comment, and hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
@@adiscraftsnthings I use a knife hold, and the Pryms are my favorite.
They are beautiful hooks. Glad you like them!!
@@PandoraBear357 hi. Do you find your Prom squeaky when using acrylic yarn? If so, can you fix it, or ignore it?
@elibell19 I haven't had squeaking. I usually listen to audio books while crocheting so don't pay attention to sounds from crocheting though. Some others have said rubbing a dryer sheet on the hook or washing it helps with squeaking.
My favourite crochet hooks are tulip etimo & clover amour; smooth, light & comfortable. I am a pencil holder same as you. Never tried prym though.
Thanks for sharing!!
I was disappointed in the Prym too, for how many times I heard people say it's their favorite hook. It does not glide smoothly against the yarn. I have a knife hold so the hold doesn't seem to be the problem. Maybe it depends on the yarn material.
I can imagine the material has a lot to do with the glide for sure. The yarn I’ve been using the most this year is 100% cotton, and the glide was ok, but I might try these with other yarns and see if there’s much of a difference
Hi I use clover and prym hooks amongst others I have never had a tulip hook
Right on! May I ask what your thoughts are about them?
I love the clovers they feel comfortable in my hands and I use the soft touch clover more The prym hooks feel light but sometimes feel a bit too long for my hand but I do like the lightness of the hooks
Tulip seems expensive so have yet to buy one although I know people favour them
I think you’re correct. Tulip is a bit more expensive than Clover. But either one is a great choice 😉
I think the prym works best on the knife hold
For sure!
Disambiguate, please. Is th knife hold the best use of the Prym, or is the Prym the best tool for a knife hold?
Either one, I’d say yes. Prym has lovely hooks, but the neck of the hooks is too long for a pencil hold, in my opinion. It would be much more comfortable to use if you tend to do the knife hold. So, I’d only buy them if you have a knife hold
A review is not only how you feel holding the hook! A review should be more in deep what about the stitching? Disappointed review.
Interesting, I did mention how they glide with the yarn I utilized, but I did focus on the feel of the hook while holding it, as there’s no point (in my opinion) in buying a hook that glides through your yarn but doesn’t feel comfortable in your hand. Thanks for your input, I’ll keep that in mind for the next review video I make ☺️
@@adiscraftsnthings - I hope so, as more in deep and accurate reviews are needed.
I liked the prym M hook but the G 4mm snapped in half.
Oh, no! I’m so sorry to hear that 😢
