Poor ergonomics Causes hand fatigue

I'm new to weaving so I didn't know about the quality of loom hooks. But after I finished my first hat, I noticed my hand hurt. I found a YouTube channel called Loomachat that showed a loom hook that was "thickened" with tiny rubber bands to make it more ergonomic! This is very important to me as I plan to knit on a loom and I need a crochet hook that is as easy to use as possible. I do not recommend this thin hook. Maybe others don't have this problem.

Pros
  • Designed for use on a loom to grab yarn and pull it through a pin.
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks

Works great

I bought an AC Moore sock loom, Nicole brand. I've tried using it and absolutely HATE it. I'm a knitter and knitter and have had other knitters swear the sock loom allowed them to work faster but for me it was slow, frustrating and it kept splitting my yarn. I decided to try a different crochet hook as I didn't think the loom itself could be the problem. I bought this hook and what a difference! Don't get me wrong, I'm still slow because I have no movement in my muscle memory, but this easily…

Pros
  • An essential tool for creating cute and trendy scarves, hats, baby blankets, decorative flowers and more!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Interchangeable hook OK

I am new to loom knitting but have found it to be an easy and enjoyable hobby.

So I decided to order some alternative crochet hooks/tools available from Revain and compare. Last night I randomly picked a Boye Loom Hook and used it for several hours. Benefits of the Boye Loom Hook: * Works with non-Boye made machines (e.g. Martha Stewart…

Pros
  • Compatible with all knitting machines.
Cons
  • Socket required
