Short metal double ended crochet hooks

13 replies

MrsMeeple · 14/02/2015 22:15

Can anyone help me track down where (if??) I can buy short metal double ended crochet hooks. And that's double ended as in tunisien, not double ended as in two-different-sizes-on-the-same-hook. I've found some online that are 30 or 35 cms long, and some that are 10 inches, but none that are 15 or 18 cms long, which is what I want.

I've got a wooden one but it's really awful, grabby and jagged and not fit for purpose, tbh. But if anyone has experience with a brand of wooden or bamboo that they can recommend, that would be good to know.

Thanks!

I've found this on a Finnish website but it looks like they deliver overseas. Any use?

That looks great! Thank you. Will definitely look into it, we get some Prym products in my local stores.

I'm intrigued. Why might this be necessary? Never seen one of those before.

To do something like this: m.youtube.com/watch?v=ImeRspJQcAA
Jump to about 1:30 to see what she's doing.

I think I might order the Clover ones. I really like their bamboo knitting needles. And I dislike Prym's normal crochet hooks because the raised numbers for the size are so defined, they hurt my fingers, and it looks like their double-ended still have the flattened section in the middle with the size stamping.

It's a shame Pony don't make short double-ended hooks, because I like their single-ended ones.

Thanks Miele. i had a look, but couldn't see any. If you do find them and can copy-paste the exact web address here, that would be great.

What about two knit pro interchangeable hooks on the ends of a short length cable? Would that work?

Lifesalemon · 15/02/2015 19:14

They have them here www.sewandso.co.uk I think.

Lifesalemon · 15/02/2015 19:32

Sorry, that wasn't very clear. They have the double ended ones there i think, not the interchangeable.

Oh! Thank you. Smile
