Loom Knitting Ergonomic Hook/Tool (1 Pack) Orange Hook

The tip is sharp and pointed which poked through the plastic package, however this is what makes it a great hook for loom knitting. For yarn that splits or separates it makes it easier for the tip to go into the groove of the loom peg and slide under the yarn keeping the yarn whole rather than splitting into smaller threads. One thing to be careful of is that because it's so pointed you'll need to watch that you don't accidentally split your yarn by putting the tip too close to the yarn before taking it off the peg, make sure you always slide it under the yarn. It also helps if you insert the tip under the thread then turn slightly before pulling the yarn over the loom peg, this helps to keep the pointy tip from catching onto your other yarn on the peg or from accidentally sliding off the hook. The handle is comfortable and helps greatly if you have arthritis, which I have along with carpel tunnel, so it lets me work on my projects longer due to my hands not hurting as much because the handle is comfortable and wide. I tend to hold the hook like a pencil but you can grip the handle with your whole hand if you want or need to knit like this since the length is also longer than the hooks that come with the loom kits. I also tend to be a tight knitter on the looms so I also like the fact that the metal part of the hook is nice and sturdy and doesn't slide, twist, or have the metal end come through the handle, which has happened with the loom hook I received in a Knifty Knitter kit. If you're worried about the pointy tip from a safety standpoint you can put a cork at the end of it or keep it in the plastic package it comes in when you're not using it. The cardboard back of the plastic package slides out so the hook can easily be put back into the package. I've used the hook with Looms from Knifty Knitter, Authentic Knitting Board, and Boye. The hook slides easily into the grooves of the pegs on all those brands. I've used the KB Ergonomic hook for a month or two now and have done a lot of socks, hats, scarves, etc with it and have no complaints about it.

Works well, it's comfortable to hold because of how thick the handle is. Hook is strong and durable; seems it's built to last long term.

These hooks are so comfortable. I am making hats for those in need. No cost to them. Appreciate I can knit for a long time.

Easy to use I like that the handle is ergonomic. It helps to allow you to work longer. Purple and Orange are my 2 favorite colors so it was very easy for me to choose this item. The hook works really well. I made 13 hats this winter-- so far...

Like the larger diameter handle. Easy to use. Good quality.

Much comfier grip than the skinnier handled ones. Definitely causes less pain if you’re prone to that after awhile. I so wish there were other color options, though!

Ery very comfortable in hands

It fits my hand, easier for my arthritis. And the hook doesn't move like the cheaper ones.

Nice to hold with arthritic hands, but expensive

Endlich Haken zum loomknitting der sehr gut in der Hand liegt. Gerade für Menschen die ein Handicap an den Händen haben und keine normalen Stricknadeln halten können. Würde ich auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen.

Chegou rápido e os produtos KB são sempre de ótima qualidade

Saves the hand. Would buy again if the time comes

Estos ganchos están hechos de un material mezcla de plástico con goma sintética y se sienten "blandos" al tacto. Pero realmente no son blandos. Solo no se sienten tiezos. No me cansa tanto los dedos y mano. Pude terminar casi por completo un gorro en el mismo tiempo que antes me llevaba tejer medio gorro. Super recomendados para tejer en telar redondo.
