Set Contains: 1 x Tulip Etimo Crochet Hook Set- Review: Best hooks I've ever purchased - I just love these hooks so much! They don't hurt my hands after crocheting for extended periods of time because of their ergonomic design and i just glide through my stitches with ease. Delivery took a while but that was expected since it was internationally shipped and they are a bit on the pricey side but i can see why. I've watched and read so many product reviews and everyone loved these so I just had to get them, and so far i am very happy with my purchase.

That’s if you are just asking about the carrying case only. The hooks can be purchased separately. **Q: How long are these from tip to tip?** A: Hooks D, and E are 5 1/4 inches each. The other hooks are 5 1/2 inches each. These are very nice hooks and well made. **Q: What's the size of this sets?** A: The sizes of the hooks are D 3.25mm, E 3.50mm, F 3.75mm, G 4.0mm, 7 4.50mm, H 5.00mm, I 5.50mm, and J 6.00mm. The length of the case unrolled is 12" x 6 1/2". It's a good size for carrying. It is made out of a fabric with the inside pockets in clear plastic. I really like it. It's a nice set and the case is really handy. I bought these hooks separately previously so I had to make a case for them. This set is great. **Q: What is the length of the hook and handle?** A: As closely as I can measure: the exposed metal shafts with hook is 3.8 cm and the handles are 9.9 cm or 10 cm. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best hooks I've ever purchased *by J***E on 20 July 2023* I just love these hooks so much! They don't hurt my hands after crocheting for extended periods of time because of their ergonomic design and i just glide through my stitches with ease. Delivery took a while but that was expected since it was internationally shipped and they are a bit on the pricey side but i can see why. I've watched and read so many product reviews and everyone loved these so I just had to get them, and so far i am very happy with my purchase. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved using these.. *by A***A on 12 February 2020* Perfect! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost Perfect: Tulip Etimo vs Clover Amour (and Others) *by N***E on 5 September 2015* This is a great kit, and I love both the clutch that holds the hooks as well as the included scissors. (I already had tapestry needles with bent tips, so I haven't used the ones with this set. I haven't used the ruler yet either.) It may seem that you get more bang for your buck ordering the Clover Amour set linked below because it contains 10 hooks, but you just get hooks. This set includes the eight hooks, plus a clutch in which to keep them that has room to store two additional hooks, and you also get the scissors and tapestry needles; all stored handily. This Tulip Etimo set is a bargain, especially if you watch the prices for a while and catch the set when it's at its least expensive. ADVANTAGES: How Tulip is better than Clover For comfort, Tulip Etimo hooks are, hands down, the best I have used. They are more comfortable than Clover Amour (and generic ergonomic) hooks and regular aluminum hooks (like Boye and Curtzy ). While the Clover Amour handle is flat where the thumb rests, the Tulip Etimo handle is more rounded. This means that when rolling the hook to create stitches, the edge of the Amour handle rubs against the finger, causing soreness, as do regular hooks, but the Tulip Etimo handle doesn't. Also, the finish on the Etimo hooks is even smoother than the one on Amour hooks, so that scratchy yarns move more smoothly and squeak much less. (The smoothest finish of all, though, in my opinion, goes to Curtzy hooks.) It's a dream to crochet with Etimo hooks. DISADVANTAGES: How Clover slightly edges out Tulip Sadly, Etimo hooks aren't as deep as Amour hooks. This means that yarn sometimes slips off the hook when making complex maneuvers, such as when I am using the join-as-you-go method to connect granny squares. Really, that's the only advantage of Amour over Etimo, and it's not that big of a deal, in my opinion. I still prefer to use the Etimo hook, even if it means I have to spend a few extra seconds trying to pull one loop through another. I will say that, in the case of the smaller hooks, the Amour hook shaft and handle are longer than that in the corresponding Etimo hook. This applies to hooks B/1-2.25mm (not in this set), C/2-2.75mm (not in this set), D/3-3.25mm, and E/4-3.5mm. By the time you hit the larger hooks, things start to even out. THE BOTTOM LINE: I highly recommend the Tulip Etimo hooks. Clover Amour hooks are very good, but Tulip Etimo hooks are better, I think. Even though it does cost more per hook to buy these hooks separately, I would recommend buying one to try it out before committing to the purchase of this set. It's worth it, even if you end up with extra hooks. I bought the G and H hooks first to take them for a test drive, since those were the hooks I was using most at the time. I don't regret it.
