The Furls Streamline Metal is an ergonomic metal crochet hook with a weighted, ergonomic shape and a smooth throat. It gives your hand more to hold than a thin pencil-style hook.
The weight is a big part of how it feels: a heavier hook settles into the hand and lets the hook do some of the work, which many crocheters find more relaxing over long sessions. It comes in finishes including Espresso, Gold, Graphite, Hemlock, Lilac and Polished Raspberry.
It suits crocheters who work for hours, those who feel strain with slim hooks, and anyone who wants one hook that feels like an upgrade from the first row.
Good for
- Long crochet sessions
- Crocheters with hand strain
- Blankets, garments and amigurumi
- A special gift for a crocheter
Using it
A weighted hook can change your tension, so make a swatch when you switch, and adjust the hook size if needed. The smooth throat lets loops slide easily, which can loosen your stitches slightly. Our crochet hook guide explains how hook shape affects your work. If you crochet tightly, a smooth hook can make it easier to get into stitches on the next row, which many crocheters find eases hand strain too.
Looking after it
Wipe the hook with a soft cloth and keep it in a case or pouch so the finish isn't scratched by other metal tools.
