The Ohuhu 22 Piece Crochet Hook Kit Provides All the Tools You Need


I am an avid crocheter. I do have many crochet hooks and they are all over the house. However, this great set of 22 hooks from Ohuhu puts all these tools at my fingertips. They are contained in a zippered, plum colored case and each has it's own slide-in spot. Not only is it great to have all my hooks in one place, it also reminds me to put the hook back in the right spot. Additionally, when I am deciding on what gauge hook I want to use, I can easily look at the bigger and smaller hooks to determine if one of them would be better. On one side of the case are the larger hooks for yarn, on the other side are the smaller, silver hooks primarily used for threads. The hooks are marked in millimeters, so it is useful to have a small crosswalk for the alphabetic listing of the hook based on millimeters. I am including one here in my review to make it easier. These hooks are made of aluminum, which keeps them lightweight. They are very smooth which makes sure they do not snag on any thread or yarn. Combining the weight and smoothness makes the crocheting fly by. I am very impressed by this collection and believe that it is perfect for beginners and advanced crocheters. The holidays are coming soon and this would make a great gift. I definitely recommend this set from Ohuhu for yourself or your favorite crocheter.

Quick reference of hook size in millimeters to letters (it should be noted that there are some differences of opinions as to how these actually crosswalk, always make a sample to judge the gauge as this can vary based on hook size, yarn, and tightness or looseness of the crocheted piece):
