My mom got me new hooks!

Heyyy guys! So, I’ve started having some hand pain after crocheting for longer periods of time, so my mom got me these Pyrm crochet hooks.


They’re sizes 6 mm, 5 mm, 4.5 mm, 4 mm, and 3.5 mm. (There is also a larger set, I just use small more often)
They are inline hooks, which I’ve never used before. They’re also plastic, another first. But they had good reviews, and feel durable.
I’m excited to see how they feel! (And I’ll let you know if they help with pain/cramps)

i hope they help with your hand pain! they look lovely :blush:

i made the switch to tulip etimo hooks after using a cheaper $2 one and the difference was super big! the yarn slides so smoothly and i felt less hand/wrist strain as well.

i have all of the hooks in the set and I love mineeeeee I use my almost everyday and yes they do help your wrists and stuff (in my opinion at least)
the smallest one of mine broke so I had to get a new one but that was only because I was using mine to sew in some stuff
but overall I love that brand and if anyone is thinking of getting some then you definitely should

Sorry, quick question…what’s an inline hook? And what’s the counterpart to it that you usually use? I’ve only ever used hooks that look like the ones you show. I’ve never seen any other type of hook…

Nice!!!

Just a suggestion for fatigued hands…I have a heating pad within reach…I also take breaks to stretch my hands out…make sure that you take at least one whole day off a week from crocheting to let your hands relax…
Because of my age (57) I also use tiger balm rubbed in the hands every 4-6 hours on days I’m crocheting a lot.
I have a bunch of other things I do…you can always ask me.

I know that this isn’t really with the point, but I really like the color!

I bet you’ll love them! They look like an inline version of plastic clover armour. I actually like tapered better but inline is nice for some things. I think those are going to be so grippy though, they look tasty and I want to steal them :wink:
