- Sm: 3/4″ x 12″ – $20
These hand made solid oak hooks not only serve a purpose for crocheting beautiful wool or fabric rugs…..they are a beautiful display item for any craft room. Of course they are proudly made in Montana.
Each hook is unique due to the difference in the grain of the oak. The more you use your hook with the wool the prettier the oak is polished by the lanolin naturally present in the wool.
The throat of the hooks are wider than what you will find in most craft stores making our hooks stronger to accommodate much bulkier fabrics and wool.
Our small hook works really well for the shirt weight wool or lightweight fabrics.
Our medium hook is perfect for the medium weight wool or heavier fabrics like denim and corduroy. Also, it works well for those of you that crochet your stitches to loosely. This is the common size used in our rug classes.
Our large hook is perfect for the heavy weight wool or the shaggy wool. Again, it works well on the heavier fabrics or if you crochet really tight.
Helpful Hint: If you can fit your index finger between the hook and your textile, your stitches will be the right size to fit the hook in the next row.
