Pretty but shabby

Love this hook it's good quality. Lightweight and easy to use. I think it could be longer, have a shinier finish than it has now, and the end is really sharp.

Pros
  • Brittany uses the most environmentally friendly packaging; All product packaging is made from 100% recycled cardboard and is 100% recyclable (remove label and it's safe to compost)
Cons
  • Expensive

I had a different size a few years ago so I was sure I would like this one. Nice and the pen feels good in the hand. But - the notch for the twine is very shallow, making it difficult to handle. And something in the notch gets caught in my yarn. I have to put this project on hold until I find another catch. sorry about that.

Pros
  • Bretagne hooks and needles have been made in America for over 25 years by a family of artisans who guarantee consistent quality, personal attention and a strict environmental policy; The company tries to minimize our environmental impact at every stage of production
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

These are beautiful hooks. Unfortunately, they quickly lose their suppleness. I saw on their website that they sell needle and hook wax which I will try. Due to their light "handle" they can be used comfortably with slippery soft yarns. I had no benefit from arthritis, but my hands never got cold from aluminum hooks.

Pros
  • Because of its tensile strength and stability, birch is an excellent wood for making knitting needles and hooks; All Brittany pieces hold their size, won't warp and offer an exceptionally smooth finish
Cons
  • Great Price
