I’m also new :waving_hand: thanks for making your post! My current favorite is 3.25mm bc it’s the largest size that will go through a pony bead for making fidgets!
I custom ordered some from a wood carver in India and they are supposed to be delivered today! :star_struck: I’m nervous and excited to see how they turned out :wink: pun intended

I might be a little weird for this, but I don’t like using small hooks. I have big hands so it’s hard for me. I like to use 5.5-18mm best. I like my yarns big and chunky.
