Crystalites 12409 Acrylic Crochet Hook Gift Set Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I am a beginning crocheter. I have made a few different projects so far. So far I am finding that these Crystalites hooks are my preferred hook to use. They do tend to grip the yarn more than aluminum or steel, however they are also a lot less slippery to hold. This makes them more comfortable to use. They also definitely feel "warmer" than aluminum which makes them easier to work with for long periods.

I love the inline hook style which is why I tried these Susan Bates hooks in the first place. What a difference! I couldn't get the hang of crocheting for more than a year until I found these inline hooks and also altered my hold to "pencil" style. It didn't take long to get a good rhythm going after that, and a fairly regular gauge. I am quite pleased with these hooks in all sizes so far.

I wish they could make a hybrid with a metal hook and shank with a Crystalites grip and back shaft. That would be a great hook for more types of yarn.

All in all, these Crystalites are a great purchase.

Back in the late 1960's many plastics came from overseas. The bad plastics had the smell of a "skunk". Honest. Well these crochet hooks are fantastic but you must take them out of the plastic bag and let them air out for a day or two. It's the plastic bag that has the smell of a skunk not the crochet hooks.

These are the best crochet hooks, regardless of size. They have that slanted slice below the hook that ensures smooth crocheting. I got the recommendation first from the book, The Happy Hooker. I recommend these crochet hooks over other products (Boyes).

Honest reviews on Crystalites 12409 Acrylic Crochet Hook Gift Set

I took a crochet class during the winter, and my instructor said that the only crochet hooks she will use are Susan Bates hooks. I can see why! I crochet every single day, using a variety of hook sizes and yarn weights. Of couse I have the standard set of Susan Bates aluminum hooks, but I wanted a set of larger sizes, too, so I ordered these some months ago.

I have used these larger size "crystal" hooks for several projects. They are fabulous with super bulky yarns and just as nice with light worsted for obtaining a lacy look and feel. I enjoy using Susan Bates Multi-Pack L,M,N and P sized hooks so much that I recently purchased a second set through Amazon just to have a spare.

I have a complete set of Boyle hooks I am replacing. Doesn't matter to me if they are plastic, metal or bambo as long as they are bates, they are great.
