There are a few different ways to buy Clover Armour crochet hooks. You can buy them individually and build you collection one by one or you can buy them as a set (at least you can for the smaller sizes up to size J). You may choose to restrict the collection or use of your personal information in the following ways: Odds are that you are here because you have seen the ever so popular ‘Clover Amour Crochet Hooks‘ and are wonder what is all the hype really about?! Are they really as good as everyone says they are? We will be going over all the aspects of the Clover Armour Crochet Hooks and then you can decide what you think about them for yourself. Very smooth metal shaft and throat – I have a cheap ergo hook and the metal is kind of bubbly which is endlessly annoying when my yarn snags on it For purely aesthetic purposes, the Amour wins hands down. If you haven’t noticed, I really love color, and these are just so much more fun to look at. Plus, like I mentioned, each hook size has a different colored handle.

Grab a hook and some scrap yarn, and make a few double crochets in super slow motion. Pay attention to the way you move your hook. Do you find that your hook is often facing down (for example, when you pull through the loops on your hook)? Do you rotate your hook to grab a yarn over? If so, you might benefit from the deeper bowl. The Amour handles fit in my hand perfectly and when I crochet, my hands never feel fatigued or hurt. They are my go to hooks when I start any project! My personal preference shouldn’t really come into anyone else’s crochet hook experiences but I’m a Clover Amour gal through and through. I use and love a variety of crochet hooks but if I have the choice, I generally reach for a Clover every time!The handle isn’t ergonomic per se, it’s just built up with polymer clay to give it a handle. I think this is a plus though because it’s inclusive of all crocheters. Both pen and knife grips can use them. We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons: I bought this from a knitting store that carries only Addi hooks so I was kind of forced into buying it but I quite like it. It’s a 2mm so I use it for amigurumi and it’s a top notch little hook. I prefer these to the Addi Swing so if you’re going to budget for an Addi hook, try this one first, especially if you’re a pencil grip crocheter. I can’t quite imagine how a pencil grip crocheter would hold and Addi Swing. If anyone can point me to a video of it being done, I’d love to see it! Another little note, the aluminum shaft of the Amour does not go all the way to the end of the handle. The tip has a small amount of flex to it, but it’s not floppy. I’m applying some pressure in the photo below. To be completely honest, I don’t know if there is a particular advantage/disadvantage to this, or if it’s simply to save on weight or cost. Pencil Grip vs. Knife Grip Since the Soft Touch are all the same color, you have to pull them all out of your bag to find the right hook. However since they’re clearly marked, you can easily see what size they are.

I personally don’t rotate my hook very much, so I have no issues with the shallower bowl of the Soft Touch. One caveat though: I do find I drop more stitches with the Soft Touch than the Amour when I’m using a chunkier weight yarn. That being said, if you’re considering upgrading from a standard plastic or steel hook, these are absolutely worth the investment. The ergonomic handles will save you so much hand and wrist pain in the future. Not to mention, they will both last a very long time. I’ve been using the same Soft Touch hooks for a literal decade, and they show almost no signs of wear. Clover Amour Crochet Hooks are known for their comfortable easy grip handles that are both ergonomic and come in vibrant colors. Each specific size of mm hook is a specific color so you will never have to wonder which size is which, you can easily tell by what color the handle is for easy identification. They come in many hook sizes from 0.60mm to 15mm.Are Clover Amour hooks inline or tapered?Clover Amour hooks are tapered in style. They are also a very ergonomic crochet hook as they have an easy grip handle and smooth shaft that the yarn can just glide over.
