The Furls Streamline Wood brings Furls' Streamline shape to wood. The ergonomic shape fills the hand, and wood is warm to hold and grips the yarn just enough to keep loops in place without dragging.
It comes in several options, including Ebony, Laurel and Purpleheart, and Autumn Fade, a set of five hooks with each size in its own ombré shade that shifts from cool and muted to warm.
It suits crocheters who like wood's warmth and grip, people who work with slippery yarns, and anyone who wants a beautiful hook to use every day.
Good for
- Slippery yarns like silk and bamboo
- Crocheters who prefer wood
- Long, relaxed crochet sessions
- A gift for a crocheter
Using it
Wood hooks have a little more grip than metal, so if you're coming from a metal hook, swatch to check your gauge. Don't force a hook through tight stitches; wood is strong but can be damaged by twisting. Our crochet hook guide compares hook materials. The wood's warmth makes it pleasant to hold in cold weather, and its slight grip suits loosely spun yarns that might split on a slicker hook if you rush.
Looking after it
Keep the hook dry and away from heat. Wipe it with a soft cloth after use. If the surface ever feels rough, a gentle buff with a brown paper bag smooths it.
