Love love love them . ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***. on 16 September 2025* I love these tulip etimo crochet hooks! I am an experienced crocheter, and much to the chagrin of my grandmother and mother who taught me to crochet years ago, I am a “knife grip“ crocheter. I have tried many times to use the “pencil“ grip, but it does not work for me. The handle on this hook is nonslip with a thumb indent, which makes a great place for my thumb to rest while giving me control over my gauge. I had my mother test the hook as she does use the pencil grip, and she found these very comfortable as well. We both have arthritic hands and I suffer from carpal tunnel. I can crochet for long periods of time with this hook without any wrist strain or increased numbness in my hands because I don’t have to grip the hook so hard. I have used this hook on several yarn types from acrylics, bamboo cotton blends, plush and wools, and it moves smoothly, does not snag the yarn or drag. This is a tapered hook and not a in-line hook. With the way I crochet, I find it very difficult to use in-line hooks, but I have a nice tight gauge so this does not affect my stitch size. Last, but not least, I do love the color and the fact that the shaft is also red. Some say that the red shaft cuts down on eye strain, but I have not noticed a difference between using theTulip Etimo red vs the Tulip Etimo Pink, which has a silver shaft. The only negative that I have encountered with this hook is that if you are doing a project where you have to keep several puff stitches on your hook at one time, this shaft is a bit short because of the handle placement. Just my opinion on it, hope it helps you make your decision! ## Frequently Bought Together - Etimo Crochet Hook, Size 8/5.00mm - Etimo Crochet Hook, Size 9/5.50mm - Etimo Crochet Hook, Size 7/4.00mm --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/263975340-etimo-crochet-hook-size-8-5-00mm](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/263975340-etimo-crochet-hook-size-8-5-00mm) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
