Review on Simplicty Aluminum Crochet Hook Sizes by Wendy Rodriguez

If you are looking to replace some of the Boye hooks you previously had I would advise you to make sure what you are getting with the DK set on this page. When I bought this set earlier the D hook was measured and printed as 3.25mm as everywhere else. Well maybe Boye has always sold D-Hooks in the size now listed - 3, ONE, TWO, FIVE mm - and they are only now reporting to the consumer; or maybe they actually resized their D hooks to 3.125mm. In any case, it was quite embarrassing to re-order the exact same set I had previously ordered, only to find that three hook sizes had "changed": D - from 3.25mm to 3.125mm; I - from 5.5mm to 5.25mm; and J - from 6 mm to 5.75 mm. Are all hooks D, I and J really that big and we thought they were 3.25mm, 5.5mm and 6mm respectively? I do not know. But I just thought I should warn people in case others might be unpleasantly surprised and a little confused by this change. You'll still do the same thing you always do to get the size of the drawing you're working with, the "resizing" is negligible and the hooks work fine. So not a big deal, just a little weird I guess.
