I used to use Amour hooks but after I tried one Tulip, I fell in love. For my hands and crochet style they are perfect for me. It has taken me a few years, but I now have an (almost) complete set of my tulips. I have arthritis and as it has progressed, even the amour hooks would hurt too soon for my happiness. The tulips let me crochet just a bit longer, and as long as I want to as long as I keep the pace slower
I also have a bunch of Amours plus 2 Etimos, and I love how light they feel :)
After many years of crocheting, I only use Amour hooks and don’t even own any others. A few years ago, I needed a 3mm hook for a crochet along using fingering weight cotton and could not find one locally. I decided to try a Tulip Etimo Red which I had been hearing great things about. I found the size I needed on eBay (not cheap) and have to say that it is my favorite hook of all time. Since then, I have made several large projects with that hook, and it’s a workhorse, especially with cotton. I would love to have a whole set, but can’t justify it since the Amours are still great.
You could sell you Amour set and put the money toward Tulips….. having great tools brings more pleasure to the process.
Hi all! I've had this exact set for about 2 and a half years now and have invested in the larger sizes so here's how they lasts long term! I noticed Tori was concerned on the hook sizes wearing away but for me they've shown absolutely no signs of wear, even on my 5.00mm, my most used hook, everything is still totally legible and not peeled/faded at all. The cloth case has held up well too, it has taken an indent from where I wrap the string around it but no problems with the integrity of the case at all. Also, the fact that they're red makes them WORLDS easier to find when they vanish in the middle of a project lol, I've never lost one!
I wish the case were big enough to accommodate the extra hooks whether you bought them or not.
Thank you for finally reviewing these!!! - I have both the Grey/Gold & the Red set and YYYAAASSSS - I HAD to buy them because Red is my favorite color. The holder it comes in is built to last - had mine now for 2 years and they have been through hell & back and they're still rockin, no tears, nothing's coming off/broken. Hubby asked Y I have so many hooks in so many colors and shapes and I said - sometimes your tools can help inspire and motivate you. I think my hooks are sexy so therefore it makes me want to crochet more. Who else is with me???
I love my red Etimos - terrific visibility without any glare, and so smooth. I bought all of mine individually; the price worked out the same as the set (or better), and I got the exact sizes that I wanted (they run up to 6.5 mm). I do wish they would sell a version of the cute case but with enough room to hold the whole line. Anyway, it’s great to see the red Etimos getting some love from a discerning and talented maker! 🙂
Saw them online and though: no i already bought one hook of every size. I don't want doubles... and then I saw your video. What can I say... looks like I have doubles of certain sizes now. I had them for ca 2 weeks now and don't even want to use my usual hooks anymore because they are so much easier in my right wrist. Due to the flatter head they are easier for me to pull trough the loops which makes all the difference for me ❤
I learned of Tulips while stationed in Japan - and let me tell you - they sold out with the quickness and sometimes was hard to find! I fell in love with them there and bought them all! They even have some very tiny hooks too! Those hooks last forever and I can stay, none of the labels some off and they still look new 5+ years later!
I’ve tried everything from Furls to Clover Amour and i like different hooks for different projects. But hands down tulip have become my go to for any project!!! They are incredibly comfortable to hold and glide effortlessly through any yarn I’ve tossed on them.
I had a cousin give me this set when they first came out because she didn't like them. I think they're great and use them all the time. I don't crochet as much as I used to, but have been getting into making crocheted monsters for my grandkids.
You should be taking sponsorships… you just sold me!
I already had the Tulip pink set when I saw the reds. I bought one red one off of amazon and ended up not only buying the set, but purchased singles of the 5.5mm, 6mm and 6.5mm to compliment the set. The red colour helps pick up the stitches of dark yarns like black and navy and I almost always use the reds when crocheting with those dark yarns. I also love furls hooks especially for Amigurumi, but struggled to use my furls 3.5mm hook while working with Coboo yarn. The coboo was splitting so much, I was ready to give it all away….but I reached for my 3.5mm etimo red and it was perfect, and I can look forward to using coboo yarn😅. I did find that the Tulip reds had a little drag right out of the box, but I ‘polished’ the hook with a microfibre eye glass cloth and they are smooth as a hot knife through butta.
I have the tulip etimo rose as well as the clover amours. I love them both and use them equally.
Thanks for the look at new tools. ❤️
I have a hard time imagining a base set of crochet hooks that doesn’t come with a 4.5mm. But I’m glad you’ve enjoyed using them
I never knew there were so many different hooks until I started watching your videos. I just love watching you!
I love love love my Etimo Tulip Red hooks. I find that I tend to reach for my Amour hooks more often but only because the handles are different colors. However, when I use my Amour hooks for extensive projects, I invariably wish I had started with the Reds. I find the handle more comfortable than the Amour because the thumb "stop" forces me to keep a consistent position on the handle. The Amour hooks start to make my thumb ache just a tiny bit because of the hard "edges" along the handle. I also like the hook head of the Reds more than the Amour. It seems like a cross between the Susan Bates and Boye heads but it really, really feels good to me.
My etimo red set sleeps my bed for real.❤❤❤
I agree with your review. I absolutely LOOOOOVE mine.
I Iove your yarn snob reviews! Watching these videos and listening to your thoughts when selecting the right tools and materials for projects has helped me become a more conscious shopper. I’m starting to take more time when choosing the right materials, and my projects have been coming out so much better because of it!
Your channel has become my go to for crochet inspiration. I love your format and your vivacious confident presentation! Waving from Oregon :)
Tulip Etimo are my absolute favorites!💜💜💜
Gorgeous color! Really fun case! I'm tempted! Thanks for another great review.
I love my red tulip etimo hook! (I only have one). I found it easier to use with whatever I'm crocheting using cotton as opposed to the clover hooks which was more of a struggle for me. Thank you for your review!
I just started watching your videos and I love that you are very positive and happy in all of your videos
These are my favorite hooks. I can whip through things with zero arm or wrist pain. It gets into stitches and works through splitty yarn without splitting it.
Toni I really admire how professional and honest you are.
I have had the gray Etimo set for years and I love them.
Thank you for a great review. I am waiting for a 6.5mm pink tulip, I’m so happy I found you. The red is so pretty! ❤
I bought the Etimo Rose crochet hooks, when I first started crocheting, in 2009. I bought them, one at a time. Then I bought, a complete second set, as well. I LOVE them…and the fact, they are pink, makes them the perfect crochet hooks. 🩷
I have 2mm-6mm sets. Which I don’t use, under the 3mm, unless I am crocheting with threads.
I got the red tulip set for Christmas last year and holy crap they are *amazing*! They just feel so good to crochet with.
I originally used the gold clovers. But after trying one of these I was in looove! I have them all now and they are my go to hooks! Loved the review! Great job as always!
I wanted to tell you what a great teacher you are!🎉 Just going to start Tunisian crochet and love your style of teaching. Thank You
I think I'm going to wait for the lather needles to be included. Of course, I'll be checking them out for myself! I do appreciate your time reviews and all your content! Much love! 💜
Toni it was so good to see you doing a regular video. I know you have been busy and you have had a few videos and it is just so good to see you again. I have been busy also. Tiffany has kept us on our toes. I love y'alls collab on the kitchen set. Perfect for me to give for Christmas gifts.
Enjoyed this review. I have one Etimo Tulip pink hook and would like to purchase the whole set when my
pocketbook allows me to. Thank you!🥰
GREETINGS MS. TONI.....WELL I ORDERED THE TULIP ETIMO RED IN A 1/0 (1.80 MM) yesterday through Amazon & I LOVE IT!!! ❤❤❤❤ I BELIEVE THE WALLET GOT INTO IT!!!! THANK YOU & HAPPY CROCHETING 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Tulip Etimo Reds are awesome!!! Ordered 2 of the sizes I use most often and fell in love with the straight away. Thank you so much for recommending them!!!
I was so surprised that I didn’t like these. No matter what I did I couldn’t get the needle to glide with my yarn (wool, acrylic, cotton, and bamboo). I love the color so much, and maybe it’s just the ‘tism in me, but the eh eh sound while crocheting vibrated my hands weird 😂
My mum would say let's buy the pack and in my mind I would say there not always good mum.
My eldest daughter has ADHD with a lot of the isms that go along with that...the noises yarn make drive her mad some days also.
Is it humid where you live or do you use lotion while crocheting? Both can cause the sticking when it comes to metal heads (my preference).
@@darkandstormymamait’s humid where I live but I also tried it while vacationing up north for the winter and still had issues with how much they hold onto yarn. I wish they worked for me because they are GORGEOUS but just not for me 😅
@@darkandstormymamaI have the grey set from Etimo and it’s my favorite hook set, so when I saw the red, I fell in love
Thank you for your reviews Toni ❤ The Etimo Red crochet hook set looks so pretty I use larger hooks regularly I really appreciate that your video illustrates you crocheting with these crochet hooks and different types of yarn😃👏👏👏
I love, love, LOVE the color! They look so pretty, but I doubt I'd get them because I really don't use the smaller hook sizes. Thank you for the review! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Hi Toni. I have that Etimo in red. Used it to make a cotton poncho. Love it. I have 5mm
My gold tip Tulips are my absolute favoriteeeee they are always my go to for every project. So comfy for me❤
I have a set of Red and a pink set of Tulips, love both and use them all the time. I have 4 young children in my family and I use all the hook sizes in each set. Thank you for reviewing these hooks. I love them❤️
I gifted my Clover amour set to a friend who is starting to crochet-I’ve been using my bamboo hooks nonstop lately. I might have to try these out when I’m back in the market for some metal hooks though!
Just ordered the same kit from Michael’s on Friday. It must have been kismet that in my Michael ‘s cart these are the 5.5, 6 and 6.5. How wonderful that you reviewed these today. I’m hitting buy and finish my collection. Coupons and voucher… yippe🎉
I got this set for Christmas in 2020 (I was learning to crochet at the time) and these are my absolute favorites! I miss them when I need to use a larger hook size.
I love this beautiful crochet hooks. When I began crocheting, I bought the Clover Amour set but saw these and loved their matte finish. I think the Etimo blue set is even more stunning but they are pricey! Thank you, Toni, for your wonderful content.
I have all the sets, they are so amazing! My favorite is my OG gold set without the ergonomic handle, smoothest tulips I own.
I purchased my first Etimo (Red, 3.75mm and Rose 4mm) to test out based on another review video. I fell head over heels in love 😍with the feel while using on K&C essential cotton yarn. OMG!!! I was amazed at the difference in the flow while crocheting. I'm still fairly new at crochet and my 'go to' hooks were the Susan Bates set. I loved the Etimo so much, that I ordered my most used sizes (5mm, 5.5mm, 6.0mm, 6.5mm) in red the next day from Amazon. These will be my new 'go to' hooks. Sorry Susan, you've been designated as my back-ups.....and Boye, you're in the donation pile. 😜 Thank you Toni for your awesome, informative videos.
I've collected these one by one. They are my second go to set. My faves are almost always inline.
I’m a huge lover of Susan Bates A line hooks. I love your reviews.
I used generic hooks before and just started using Tulip Etimo this month! I love how this works well and so smooth to use! Planning to buy the whole set when I go to Japan soon!
I love love lOve these hooks!💘💓
I still need my clovers , but something about that red color and smooth glide helps me focus!
I have reds and pinks! These things are a workhorse for my clothes and longer-term smaller hook projects.
Hi Toni , Thanks for review. Love your channel. I never used tulips.
I love these hooks even though I have not had the pleasure to own my own set! I can’t wait to be Able to purchase them! I’m very picky with the red color, but this is a red I love and when I look for red yarn this is more of the red I look for! Thank you for sharing sweet heart! Thank you for sharing this great review!
I just bought my first hook from Amazon - not the whole set, just a 2.0 mm. I can't wait to try it out!!
Well I trusted your review for Sewrella hooks, and will try these. They do look so pretty 😍 Thanks for your honest opinions I truly have grown to love them on hooks and yarn❤
OMG, I really enjoyed your video! The suggestion made a lot of sense. I would be so tempted to purchase these, however they are a little pricey for me and my skill crochet skill level and discipline to stick with one craft through completion, but they sound pretty comfortable which Is indeed very important! Thank you so much T and God Bless!👍🥰
These are MY faves as well. I have carpel tunnel, and these are my go-to.
Toni, you need to do a collar with one of the premiere hook manufacturers to come up with the perfect hook set, complete with notions and cases. I wonder if the hooks might slip out of the rolled up case at the top? I chose a zippered ‘after-market’ case for my hooks just to ensure everything stayed inside, regardless of how it was picked up, but I could also be a little over-protective as I am thinking of when we move to an RV in a few of years. In that, I will need things neat and contained, so I went that way from the get go. Seriously, though, Toni…. I would be waiting with baited breath for a set of TLYC crochet hooks (and I’m betting BIG that they would be very bright and colourful) with just the right amount of slickness for the hook. 😍🥰😍
I bought one loved it clovers amore were my favorite Tulip reds ate my new favorite I'm now ordering the whole set
Pricing is way to much for me. I won’t pay that amount. Ever. Great video! ❤
I'm watching this while using the same hook in 6mm! I've had mine for a year and haven't gone back! It's still in perfect condition and I use it almost everyday
I’ve been thinking of getting these even though I have tons of hooks I love lol Thanks for sharing Toni!
This set of hooks is on my wish list! I have one hook from the series and it’s my favourite to crochet with
Love my Tulip Etimo hooks. I have the brown handled ones. They are so smooth and I love working with them. I just wish they also came in larger sizes
THE best Crochet hooks! I have several sets and extras for most used. I love them they are my all time favs. It/they flow thru like butter.
I LOVE Tulip hooks. I have a couple of the Tulip Red and the Tulip Rose, I just bought them as I was able to treat myself for a new hook here and there. I have acquired a collection of hooks but Tulip have to be my favorite followed by my Clover brand hooks.
I love the Tulip Etimo Reds because red is my favorite color and I love the color of the hook itself.
Also, I have had mine for a while and my label that indicates the size is still looking like it did when I bought it and I use my 5mm A LOT.
I love the color no doubt but I gotta have some bigger sizes. Your points at the end about what you would change were spot on!!
I bought the 5 mm over a year ago and it is by far my favorite hook and the printing still has not rubbed off!
I like your channel you’re very interesting when you talk I like what you have to say about products you do a lot of high in yarn which I like and you do it very well
I love tulip hooks! I have the gold and grey set and ever since I bought them I have never used a different hook! They make most yarn feel like butter!
Tulip hooks are my favorite! I love them so much more than Clover hooks.
Those are pretty hooks and they look comfy to use. I am currently hooked on Prym ergonomic crochet hooks though!
Toni I am feeling over the moon because I just purchased the Mary Maxim cardigan that you designed and I cannot wait for it to get here. I told you way back that your model is beautiful and SO ARE YOU and you should be modeling some of your work. Anyway I can't wait.
I was about halfway through reading an article I’d found to help me get through a tough spot in a project, when the “voice” of the article sounded really familiar. I went up to check the byline and there was your name!! 😂
You have such a lovely and (apparently) identifiable way of speaking and explaining things that I was able to spot it in the wild 🤭
Thank you Toni I have learned a lot with your videos I enjoy them I would love to have a set of those but for me is more than what I can afford but is good to know how good they are for when the time comes again thank you
My red set of Tulips arrived today I am making a shawl with the 4mm hook. It glides so well. The case is good and fits in my handbag. I agree with you about the scissors and tapestry needles. These are my only complaints. Thank you for this. video.
The red ones are by far the best hook I've ever used. I wish they were a different color but they rock!
I do want to try lace work one day. Maybe I will give these hooks a try.
Ive been eyeing this set up for so long now! Glad to know they are pretty nice. I like the fact its a set of smaller sizes, then i dont feel so guilty having so many duplicate sized hooks. I have have too many small ones in my collection. Only problem is figuring out where to buy them in Canada...
Agree ---love these hooks. I have the original color/copper colored hook, black handle. I use Tranesca iPen grippers I found on Amazon. These grippers go on/off easily and can be moved to different hooks. Game changer for comfort and preventing fatigue.
Tulip Etimo is the only hook I use unless i need something larger than a 6mm. Love them and they have stood up to my use.
I love the feel of the tulip etimo hooks. I usually use the originals but have a red one too. I would prefer a set that included just a little larger size and skip the bottom sizes.
Lovely review video, thanks Toni! Personally if I saw this set in a store, I wouldn't use half the hooks, so I'd opt to buy just a few sizes that I need individually.
Hi Toni, great review…I tried Prym hooks bcuz of watching your review and loved them. Have been looking at these Tulip Etimo red for a while, after this review, I’ll give them a try to see how I like them. Thx for the review.
After seeing your review and others, I just tried a Clover Amour hook and I love it! I wanted to try Tulip, but not a fan of the brown/black and gold at all, or even the pink. When looking for my Clover on Amazon, I saw these. Red is my favorite color, so I searched and found this review to see how they compare with my new Clover hook. Thank you for all the information, you have helped me so much!
I have the tulip brown and pink ones they are very good, I also have the clover ones as well. I think we just like to have a change of hook when we crochet keeps it interesting.
I love my Etimo Rose! My absolute favourite hooks!
Beautiful red!!!❤
Very well balanced, comfy, smoooth, & THE best for old eyes. I use a headlight & the red matte metal doesn’t shine back at sensitive eyes😊Good all round for various type yarns! But the best is the help with old eyes like mine👀I bought the sizes I prefer - worth the spend. Thank you,Toni, for your “in depth” review ❤️J . (In Australia on a cold winter night!)
I have the gray set of the at the mole tulips and just love them. I added OK hook then I lost the 10. He’s here somewhere but I ordered a new one and just to try. I ordered one of the red ones it came today my like it it it worked just fine. My hands are very small soda. Short size is good for me. Thanks for the review, Sandy.
I loved my clovers, then you mentioned the gray tulips ............and then I heard abt the red oned. Honestly I am HOOKED. They are the best ones. And not easy to find in Rio de Janeiro........... very expensive too. But absolutely worth having..........
Tulip Etimo hooks are AMAZING!!! better than any other hooks I've used, including furls!
I have these and I love them.
I’m surprised these have taken so long to make it to the US market (or at least into your hands!). These are my ride or die hooks- I have tried the others- clover, furls and nothing (except my BQueen hooks that you introduced me to- thank you) come anywhere close to my Tulip Etimo Reds. If I only had one set of hooks forever, and it was these ones, I would be a happy girl. In regards to the sizes, I don’t know if you can access them, but you can purchase all the additional in-between sizes individually in Australia, so I have completed my set up to a 6.5mm. As I live in Australia and extremely rarely, if ever, use anything heavier than a DK weight yarn, I don’t often reach for the larger hook sizes, but they are nice to have as an option. Thanks for your company tonight- I’m feeding my 7 week old baby when your premiere came on in the middle of the night in Australia and it was a lovely surprise! Thank you for all you do- as someone who came back to crochet as an adult after learning as a child, you are someone I recommend to anyone who wants to learn and develop their skills. Much love from Australia!
I am passing on these because I love my Clover Amours! The colour is perfect.
Love your review! I really want the reds. One of my very favorite colors. THEY should include up to size ten plus I believe a scissors n pocket also
Love the review!
