addiWrap Olivewood Crochet Hook Set

The addiWrap set pairs smooth aluminum hook heads with olive wood handles. It holds nine hooks: 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5 and 6 mm, a range that runs from fine lace thread work up to worsted and aran yarns.

The aluminum heads are smooth so yarn glides through without snagging or splitting, while the olive wood handles are warm and grained, giving you something comfortable to hold. Each handle looks a little different because of the wood.

The hooks roll up in a waxed canvas and cotton case, so the whole set is easy to carry. It suits crocheters of any level who want one set that covers most everyday projects.

Good for

• Fine lacework on the smaller hooks
• Small toys and accessories
• Granny squares and blankets
• Garments in fingering to worsted yarn

Using it

Metal heads move quickly through the yarn, and the wood handles add grip, so the hooks suit crocheters who like speed but find thin aluminum hooks hard to hold. The sizes are given in metric; check the hook size your pattern calls for and swatch before you start, since grip and handle shape can change your tension a little. For larger hooks, the Lantern Moon Radiance set runs up to 8 mm.

Looking after it

Wipe the hooks with a dry cloth and keep the wood handles out of water. Roll them back into the case after use so the heads don't knock together.
