Nobody makes crochet hooks and accessories like Susan Bates

Received exactly what I ordered! Besides crochet. I use this hook for everything! Pulling clothes with laces and many other things. It's too convenient to leave them in your knitting supplies basket! Nobody makes quality crochet hooks and accessories like Susan Bates! After trying Susan Bates hooks I went out and bought a whole set of these and gave away all my boyi and other hooks as they are just inferior to Susan Bates.

Pros
  • Hands Free
Cons
  • Very Expensive

What happened to the quality of Susan Bates?

Disappointing. I expected the aluminum hook to be almost slippery and the yarn to slip easily (cotton yarn). On the other hand, the hook had a good grip and the yarn didn't slip at all. I even waxed it thinking the grip was reduced but it's still more than I can work with. Another feature of this haiuk is that it doesn't have the Susan Bates-style hook I've been accustomed to for so many decades. I think it's the "new" style Bates hook that I've seen so many other complaints about. While not as

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not sure

Works great

You know the old phrase "breed like rabbits"? Well, I ordered several of these reversible hooks in different sizes because at the time I wasn't sure what size I needed. But I swear, these things have multiplied in number from the moment I ordered them from Revane to the moment they walked into my house - just like rabbits! They just keep coming and multiplying. It wouldn't be too bad if they breed in different sizes, but they seem to want to breed in sets of 2 of the same size. Maybe Revane…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
