ETIMO Crochet Hooks by Tulip
If someone asks me which crochet hooks I'd recommend, Tulip ETIMO is always near the top of the list. They've built an excellent reputation over the years, not because of clever marketing, but because they're simply lovely hooks to crochet with.
Made in Japan, ETIMO crochet hooks combine Tulip's renowned manufacturing quality with comfortable cushion handles and beautifully finished hook tips. They feel well balanced in the hand, the hooks pick up yarn cleanly, and the stitches flow smoothly without snagging.
Made for Comfort
One of the first things you'll notice is the handle. It's soft without feeling squishy and sits comfortably in your hand, making longer crochet sessions much easier.
The hook itself has a smooth, polished finish and a shape that catches the yarn consistently. Whether you're making granny squares, garments or delicate lace, it's a hook that quickly becomes familiar and easy to work with.
It also works well whether you hold your hook like a pencil or like a knitting needle, so there's no need to change your natural style.
Choose Your Favourite ETIMO
The ETIMO family has grown over the years, with several collections to choose from.
ETIMO Rose is the classic range with its distinctive pink handles.
ETIMO Red features deep red handles and matte hook tips that many crocheters like when working with darker yarns.
ETIMO Murasaki takes its inspiration from a traditional Japanese purple, giving the hooks a calm, understated look.
The performance is the same across the ranges, so your choice really comes down to which style you prefer.
Why I Stock ETIMO
There are lots of crochet hooks available, but ETIMO is one of those ranges that customers come back for. They often buy one hook to try and then gradually replace the rest of their collection.
For me, that's probably the best recommendation a product can have. Good tools shouldn't get in the way of your crochet, and ETIMO hooks quietly do exactly what they're supposed to do. They're comfortable, beautifully made and built to last, which is exactly what I look for when choosing products for McIntosh.
