I only bought this Tulip Etimo Red hook to try, as I really liked my rose gold metal crochet hook set, but was suffering with some pain in my fingers.
So, having heard others saying how good tulip crochet hooks were I took a look.
I picked Tulip Etimo Red because it is matt to avoid reflection and red to help with crocheting with dark coloured yarns.
The handle cushions my hand and makes it much more comfortable to use than my old favourites.
Having used this hook for some time now I feel confident in saying that it is my favourite hook. The matt red is very easy on my eyes, even using it with red yarn I have found it good to work with.
The discomfort that I was getting in my fingers has disappeared due to the ergonomic handle (I previously used straight metal hooks). As I need to, I will be replacing all my hooks with Tulip Etimo Red hooks. I can recommend trying them to other crochet addicts.
You can also get these other sizes:-
5.0mm
5.5mm
6.0mm
6.5mm
Or you could treat yourself and get a set which contains 8 Crochet Hooks with Cushion Grip, 2 Tapestry Needles, Ruler and Case. Hook sizes: 1.80, 2.00, 2.20, 2.50, 3.00, 3.50, 4.00, 5.00 mm
I am so very tempted now that I have experienced the comfortable and better crocheting experience of a Tulip hook.
