Crochet Hook Spotlight + Giveaway

We're happy to say that the Knitter's Pride family has plenty of crocheters in the fold. In the short video below, you'll meet a few who have gotten "hooked" on our line of crochet products:







Dreamz Crochet Set
Whether you prefer wooden or metallic hooks, Knitter's Pride has you covered!  If you're new to crochet, our line of natural birch hooks are perfect for getting started. Basix single-ended hooks come in eight sizes and work well with any type of material, especially thicker yarns.

The Dreamz line of crochet hooks are color-coded for easy identification and available in traditional as well as Tunisian-style.  Each hook is lightweight with a polished wood surface for effortless glide; choose from 13 sizes of single-ended hooks to add to your collection, or get our crochet set which includes eight of the most frequently-used hook sizes.  Our Dreamz Interchangeable Tunisian line has the same great features as our single-ended hooks plus easy-to-connect cords with smooth joins.  Purchase individual sizes of hooks or invest in a set!

Aluminum Hooks
For those who prefer metallic needles, our lightweight Aluminum and Steel crochet hooks feature ergonomically-designed soft feel handles for hours of comfortable crafting.  Single-ended steel hooks are available in six sizes; for a wider range of sizes, our single-ended aluminum hooks (available in gold or silver anodized finishes) fit the bill.  We also have single-ended Tunisian hooks in our aluminum line!

Knitter's Pride is proud to provide jobs for folks in rural India who do not have have viable sources of income; we also support charities in our local community.  However, we also like to support our American friends and fans!  Recently, we sponsored Beans for Brains (click here to see who this year's scholarship winners are!).  We also source the wood used to manufacture our Basix and Symfonie line of hooks (and needles!) from the USA.  Additionally, all of the cords used in our interchangeable sets are purchased from a supplier in Ohio state.

  1. I learned that you make crochet hooks! I think it's great that you make both wood and metal, though I typically prefer wood. Great to know it's sourced here in the USA. Angela (amyers on Ravelry)

  2. I also didn't realize you made crochet hooks! I LOVE your wooden dpns, esp. the ones in the small sizes -- so I am sure the crochet hooks will be equally fabulous!

    And ... I'd love to try a Dreamz one!

  14. I love that you keep crocheters in mind. I knit and crochet both, but crochet is my first love. So many companies are what I like to call knitting snobs. I'd love to try one of the wood hooks, as well as the wood cubics needles.

  16. I didn't know that the company sourced the product from India. I think it's good that your company realizes that there is a global economy at work and it can benefit everyone.

  26. I didn't know you made Tunisian crochet sets! Those are gorgeous! I'd love to try one of the Dreamz wood hooks. I've never used a wooden crochet hook, but I have a suspicion I'd like it as much as I like using wooden knitting needles!

  28. Thanks for the giveaway! Your Scholarship sponsorship is most admirable.

    I volunteer at a knitting group at a seniors home, and several of the knitters also crochet. I would love to share a Dreamz crochet hook with them.

    Thanks,

  30. I did not know there where so many types of hooks. I just love the ergonomically-designed soft feel handles. Often I have to stop due to pain from arthritis in my hands.

  41. I just read about the new Tunisian crochet sets. I learned about the basix line of crochet hooks. I didn't know there was a line a plain birch hooks. Sometimes I need a basix non colored hook for a special project! And 13 crochet hooks in dreams colors?
    I learned about the aluminum and steel crochet hooks have ergonomic handles.
    Knitters Pride Products are top of the line!:-)

  42. I learned that you make a line of crochet hooks called Basix. I likehabing a choice between the colored hooks or a non colored birch hook. I also learned that the aluminum and stell crochet hooks come with egonomically designed handles. That's a big plus for me!

  43. I'm thrilled that you've found a way to support both the national and international communities. We all live on the same planet and what benefits one community, benefits all. I'd love to try a Dreamz hook. I'm primarily a knitter, but a good tool is a good tool, and I've been know to pick up a hook now and then.
