Prym Ergonomics Crochet Hook, Size J

i like the handle easier to hold for someone with arthritis and yarn slides better then my old metal one plan on looking for similar with different gauge sizes

For painful hands this is great

Very comfortable to hold when crocheting

My favorite hooks! I bought 2 boxes of various sizes and misplaced my H hook which I found shortly after this replacement showed up. I have neuropathy and these are the only hooks that don't aggravate my arm and hand. They are longer than Clover (I don't know why people like those..). I have a TON of different crochet hooks but these are the only ones I use! I'm adding other sizes to my collection as needed. I wish they had a K/6.5 though!

Prym is my favorite brand of crochet hooks and I love this one just as much as any of the rest. Smooth shaft with no breaks makes it easy to crochet for long periods of time without making the tip of my finger sore. Yarn glides along easily.

It more comfortable to use causing less discomfort in my thumb and index finger. hooks the yarn better

I purchased a Prym "ergonomic" crochet hook a few months ago when my two (other brand) ergonomic hooks went into hiding. Thankfully, the lost hooks reappeared a few weeks later. The Prym hook is about an inch longer than the others and I do not find it to be ergonomic. The added length is in the shaft rather than the handle, so that I cannot easily reach the hook with my index finger, so my hand creeps forward every time I make a stitch and I soon find myself partly gripping the base of the shaft and partly the nice soft rubber handle. If my hands were larger and less arthritic this might not be a problem. I will probably keep the hook for emergencies, but not for regular use. I do like the bright color (harder to lose) and the shape of the tip of the hook. I would love the hook if the shaft could be an inch shorter.

I never received this item. The order was delayed, then canceled.
