Boye Crochet Set Alum Sz Notion, Hook sizes: 3.125-6.5 mm, US D-K, Assorted

These hooks give great stitch definition. They are my durable, reliable, everydaygo to hooks These are the ones I take everywhere. I have an expensive set of hooks but, I'd never let them leave the house.

I was so happy to find a complete set of Boye aluminum crochet hooks. They are my favorite!

Boye are some of my favorite hooks. The yarn glides over the hook smoothly and the head is just the right size to go through your stitches without getting caught or splitting the yarn. I have some of my mom's hooks that she passed on to me. They last forever. They are a great budget find and they come in so many fun colors.

I have used Boye Crochet Hooks for 50 years. It was the brand of hook I used when I first learned to crochet and, in my opinion, they are the easiest to use. They are consistently smooth and allow the yarn to slide gently over the surface. I rarely have trouble with yarn splitting and I have never had a hook snag the yarn or work.This set includes the sizes used most often. I purchased it as a gift for my granddaughter when she was interested in learning to crochet. I wanted her to have everything she needed to enjoy a new lifelong hobby.

I only needed a size E. Well, I thought I did - turns out I really needed the D. Anyway, at the time I bought these, they were $3.99 and same day delivery, so now I have 8 more hooks! (They are $10.76 today, which is still pretty good. And same day shipping. Woo hoo!)Most of my hooks are the Boye brand, and I love them. They are light and sturdy and smooth. I have some plastic ones because right after 9/11, it was hard to get metal sticks on airplanes ("Thirty Dead on Flight after Crochet Hook Wielding Madman Freaks Out over Number of Pretzels in Bag!!") Plastic is horrible and almost never completely smooth. (Don't argue with me about this - I've had bad experiences!) I've never had a problem with Boye, and after crocheting an afghan 4'x5', I still haven't had a problem.So, if you think you might need a hook or two that are in the D-K range, plop this in your cart. Check it every once in a while to see if the price goes down, and snag it when it does. (My local craft stores sell this set in the $10-12 range, and if you get their coupons, you can usually get it for less.)

This is the first time I purchase any crochet tools, soon don't have much terms of comparison.. but I'm pleased with these! Was able to make two hats

These were smooth to work with!

The crochet hooks are comfortable in your hand and very great for newcomers. Have a granddaughter that I'm teaching to crochet and she's on the younger side meaning she's 12. She can hold on to them easily. They're great value. They're great weight and they're very soft and smooth on her fingers. And I like the fact they do them in colors other than just silver.
