 pretty good hooks, but yarn didn't slide easily May 02, 2010
By Ariadne Nevin
These are a good basic crochet hook, with a decently shaped end that catches the yarn satisfactorily, although I had some trouble with the yarn splitting as I finished stitches. (To be fair, the yarn I'm working with right now splits easily.) I received 10 hooks (not 5 like another reviewer) and like the feel of the bamboo. However, when I first tried them the surface was a little tacky (sticky?) and the yarn didn't slide as smoothly as I'd like. We put a light coat of urethane on them (have a spray gun for some construction we're doing out back) and that helped the situation. I still prefer my Susan Bates metal hooks, as they slide easily, catch the yarn firmly, and rarely split. If you like crocheting at a nice sedate pace, and/or prefer the feel of bamboo to the feel of metal, these would do just fine.

Great Hooks, But Incorrect Product Description Aug 08, 2008
By Shauna G
This is a great set of crochet hooks for the price. They are quite comfortable to hold, are a good weight, and seem to be well constructed.
However, purchasers should be aware that the product description is not accurate. You only receive 5 hooks, ranging in sizes 5.5mm - 9mm (US I-M). The picture does show the five hooks you get, but the description indicates that you will get "12 PCs bamboo crochet hooks 2.75mm-10.0 mm". Despite this, I still feel that these hooks are worth the price. A minor annoyance is that the US sizes are NOT laser printed with the metric size, but that can be easily remedied by writing it on each hook with a permanent marker for easy reference.
Even with these two complaints, I think the product itself still deserves a four-star rating.

Almost right May 13, 2008
By Marilyn's Creations
The crochet hooks would be so much better if there were rounded off at the point that the yarn is picked up. With a squared off edge the hook does not slide through as easily.

 Feel of crochet hook in hand is great May 20, 2008
By Janis

Metal and plastic crochet hooks can't compare to the feel of bamboo crochet hooks. These are awesome. I've been looking for bamboo hooks for a long time and was happy to find them here. I hope Oriental Touch will at some time carry other sizes of bamboo hooks. I'd definitely purchase more.
