Divit Shilp Streamline Ergonomic Handle Crochet Hooks | Handcrafted 7’’ Purpleheart Wood Crochet Hook Knitting Needle, Craft Yarn Weave | Best Gift! (3.5 mm)

My issue with this hook is the hook part on the tip is twice as long as others. I returned because it changed my crochet feel completely. I believe it was defective but not sure.

Very confortable to use

I got this wooden hook because i had some slippery yarn and wanted a hook with a little more texture, and this turned out to be the perfect choice. The wood is smooth to the touch and doesn't snag (not the yarns I've used with it at least), but it's still a little grippy, so the yarn didn't slide right off.I got the 3.5mm size because i use that most, but i also make lots of amigurumi, and i wouldn't use this hook for that. In fact, i wanted an ergonomic hook because my grip can be TOO tight sometimes, and this was a great hook for me to train myself to relax my hold.The shape of the handle encourages a relaxed grip, so i prefer another hook for tight stitches. The stitches from this hook are noticeably looser than with the same size from other brands. I made several scarves and many washcloths to get used to this hook, and i loved it more and more as i went along.At first i thought fast crocheting would be harder because there's no flat place for my thumb, but the hook's name and size are engraved right where my thumb goes, so i can find the correct orientation of the hook quickly and without looking.The hooked part of this hook is both deep and sharp, so if your yarn splits easily then this might go right through it if you're not careful. Then again, keeping 6 or more loops on the hook, for something like star stitch or bead stitch, and pulling through all loops at once, was a breeze. Picking up one loop only, for something like star stitch or invisible decrease, was also a cinch.

So I ordered a 5mm and it is definitely a 6.5mm! (From left to right) Photos are of an Ommi hook and 2 Furls hooks that are 5mm. There's a huge size difference! And unlike all my other hooks, this hook continues its taper from the very beginning- you can see the other hooks have a section after the hook that is one diameter for about an inch so the size stays consistent. This hook does not. I will find a use for it and just mark that but a whole 1.5 size difference is pretty astounding!

While this is great ergonomic wise it is a little long to hold and I find it hard to catch the yarn to pull through. I don't know if I have to get used to a different hook or if it is just difficult to catch the yarn.

I purchased 2 hooks a 4mm and a 6mm. Bought the 6mm first and loved. Fit my hand wondering, wood was smooth and crocheted like a dream. Purchased the 4mm next and it is literal trash-unusable. The is rough and snags the hook head is misshaped so it difficult to push into stitches and awkward to pull up a loop.

Before I dropped a ton of money on some Furls hooks I decided to try something similar in shape, style, and material that was more affordable. I immediately noticed a difference, and it has helped me correct my hold without even making a conscious effort. I noticed i was holding it more like a pencil than a knife, and it has increased my speed. i'm currently crocheting a scarf with bean stitches, which requires 4 passes into the same loop and the longer post has made that much easier. I just got this hook yesterday, so I will edit my review if anything negative comes up in the next few months.

I love the way this hook feels in my hands. It's smooth, comfortable, & decreases the strain on my hand & arm. I only gave it the stars however, because it doesn't move smoothly through the yarn, but gets stuck easily. It makes my movements jerky since I have to pause to force it through the yarn, & each stitch. The hook part doesn't show any signs of burrs or splits, but no matter what type or thickness of yarn I try, it's simply not smooth feeling, & gets hung up with each stitch. I really wanted to like it, especially after holding it & seeing it. It's a beautiful color & has a great feel, however, as any crocheter knows, it's all in the smooth rhythm, & soothing movement through the yarn, & it's just not there & doesn't happen with this book, no matter how hard I try.

It's esthetically pleasing to look at. It reminds me of Harry Potter wands. Functionality was not there for me. I bought it intended on using it for a blanket yarn sweater pattern that needed a size 7mm & 8mm for different parts of the sweater. I thought it would glide off the yarn smoothly because it was smooth and no splinters, but it was tough to pull the yarn through just to make a foundation chain. Perhaps I'm just used to crocheting with Clover hooks, which I will be getting those a d returning these two hooks from Divit.Tried with Bernat blanket yarn, it was tough to pull the yarn through, same with 100% cotton yarn. Acrylic seems okay and glides alright. I need hooks that works well with all yarn, not just some.

I normally prefer metal hooks for their smoothness, so I was a little wary. True, it still has that "woody" feel as the yarn slides on it, but it is well crafted with no splits or funny little edges to catch. The handle is very comfortable which helps a lot with hand fatigue. The hook is deep enough to easily catch yarn overs and the end has just enough of a point to make it easy to insert into stitches. Overall, I think this is a lovely crochet hook for bulkier projects.

Great crochet hook. Love the length of it and the ergonomic features and my wrist and hand no longer get tired or sore. I much prefer using this to the shorter metal hooks even though it took a bit of getting used to at the start. I did not find the wool catching on the hook like some reviews said and find the wood to be very smooth.

I bought one of these crochet hooks a few months ago and instantly fell in love with them. They are nice to work with. I never liked ergonomic crochet hooks before, but these are different and my hand seemed to relax instantly while working with them. I have now purchased 5 different sizes and plan on getting a whole set eventually.

Love, love these crochet hooks. I have numerous sizes of them now and they are one of the most comfortable ones I've ever worked with. Will definitely purchase again!
