Yarn Mania Light Up Crochet Hooks - Ergonomic Crochet Handle with LED Light, Silicone Cover, 12 Metal Interchangeable Crochet Hooks - Complete Crocheting Supplies with Leather Storage Case Included

Soooo I wanted to take time to write this because I went through so many brands trying to find the best one out of all I think this might be the best for the price! I went through 5-6 other brands before deciding on this one and the hooks slide like butter and don’t snag at the bottom. I think the light is bright enough to help those in darkness but if you do want something like that then the plastic interchangeable hooks will be best. The light goes straight through and makes you seen so much better. Hope those who are looking for this find it! PS: I think I hold mine like a knife so if you have pencil grip it might be a bit difficult but it doesn’t hurt to try and then return!

The handle is super comfortable to hold and it's not hard to swap out the hooks at all. The set comes with a great range of sizes and had enough room in the case to store everything you need. Plus the fact that it has metal hooks means that the yarn still slips over the hooks very smoothly. The only thing with this set is that there seemed to be a bit of a film on the hooks when I first got them. But they cleaned super easy and have been a dream ever since! Plus the light is not over the top since it's also not lighting up the hooks. I use the low light when I crochet at night and it helps add just an extra touch of visibility.

I really wanted a like this hook to help me see the stitches clearly while using very dark colored yarn. This set sounded like it would be just what I wanted: it looked like it had sturdy metal hooks, an ergonomic design - kind to hands and wrists, bright illumination, overall attractiveness, light weight, rechargeable, and all in a pretty pink case. This hook set does everything it should except illuminating the dark yarn stitch you're trying to work into. :( The light itself is worthless. I tried it in bright , medium and low light settings. The high setting glares in low light settings and the low setting is so low it's barely visible. I am keeping the set only because it seems well made and is very effortless to hold and use. The pencil hold works best with it but the knife hold (my usual favorite) also works. Only very lite gripping of the hook is needed making it arthritic hand friendly. I enjoy using it. It's quite comfortable.

I am particular about my crochet hooks. I don't like plastic hooks and I prefer an ergonomic, thicker handle. I also like to have plenty of slide room on the shaft, so short hooks are not acceptable. Good lighting is also important, especially when using dark yarn. This crochet set hits all the marks spot on! They are nicely packaged in an organized case that includes a pouch of essential accessories that fits neatly within the case. I love that it includes the majority of hook sizes I need for most of my projects. The base charges quickly and the light lasts for hours. The hooks easily attach to the base with an easy turn of the included metal wrench. Finally, I must also mention their customer service. The 5.0 mm hook was missing from my set. I received the correct number of hooks, but they accidentally included two 5.5 mm hooks instead. I messaged their customer service and they responded immediately (on a holiday weekend) to let me know they would send the missing hook right away. I had it in less than a week. This is the set to get if I you love to crochet!

I really wanted to love this set. It is very well made, the hooks are easily interchangeable, and it charges fast. The light has two settings, one that is bright and one more dim. I liked the fact that the light came from the handle and wasn't being projected through the hook itself, like other light-up crochet hooks. My only fault with this is that I hold my crochet hook with a pencil grip, and couldn't find any comfortable way of holding this hook. The curved shape of the handle made it very difficult. I did find it comfortable when holding like a knife, but I can't crochet that way... Alas, I had to return it.

I've been using these hooks for about 4 years now and absolutely love them. Switching out the different size hooks is super easy. The light is really great for using in low light settings and has been very useful for travel or watching shows with the hubby in evenings when he prefers less light in the room. After over a year of frequent use, the handle started cracking a bit making the hook loose. I decided to contact Yarn Mania via Facebook to see if I could just replace the handle rather than ordering an entire new kit. They got back to me quickly and are sending a new handle for significantly less than purchasing a new one even though the cracking seems like reasonable wear and tear from usage and not from any defect. I'm super happy with the product and impressed by their care for their customers. I would highly recommend this product for anyone. It's the only hook I use even when not using it for the light.

The best part about these is the light being at the base and not blinding you in the head of the hook like the plexi/acrylic ones. The metal is comparable with clover armor hooks. And the handle is nice also charging is a dream. BUT the CONS are as such CONS : the gauges are off I suggest adding a gauge checker to your order for crochet hooks. Then when you get this hold them next to other hooks you have and write down what these heads are comparable to with the brands you already have for instance their 5.50 is a boye 5.75 and the j 6.50 is a boye L hook. When you align the head into the mount then click it in with the wrench the head and handle will not be in line with each other so the head will be side ways after full installation and the handle straight. You get used to it but it would be great if the hook head would end up being in line with the handle like a store bought hook. otherwise I love these also be warned that some yarns make the heads squeaky.

So, I've been quietly watching Yarn Mania for a while now. Found them when I was searching for an alternative to buying individually packaged, bigger hooks. This was a year ago when their second generation hooks were out. However, there weren't any sizes that I didn't already have and I didn't have any spare funds. And unfortunately, my internet was very picky in letting me access their main shop, so I bought from here instead. In August of this year, they released their third generation. And might I say, wow! This is pretty much the best combination of small lighting and big hooks in one package. The hooks look like the typical, squeaky aluminum hooks out there. But actually, it's very comparable to Clover Amour hooks in how smooth it is against yarn. It's a tad too smooth, as Clover has just a smidge of drag. However, that's not a complaint as it doesn't effect my stitch making. It's just an observation of the texture differences. Granted, I've only tested this on 100% mercenized cotton so far, but nonetheless, I feel it's a very worthy purchase when I finally had some spare cash. It's very customizable and very comfortable, it form fits my hand nicely as a knife holder. Also, when looking at sizes, go by the mm. The sizing letter is really inaccurate, but not the mm size. It's very accurate going by that. I'm still getting used to it, and so my only con could disappear: I have small, petite and feminine hands. The length of both the hook attachment and the handle is a bit long in comparison to my Clover Amour set. As I said though, I'm still adjusting. I highly, highly recommend this entire line of hooks for both beginners and masters of crochet, regardless. It's customizable, it's sold and patented by a mom and pops that has loads of bonuses just for following their social media, and in general it saves you from having to buy individual, overpriced single packaged hooks by featuring many various sizes over the 3 different generations.
