Interchangeable Tunisian Crochet Hook "Takumi" Combo Set

I purchased this set of interchangeable Tunisian Crochet Hooks (TCH) because of the price, I am just starting with TC, and did not want to spend more than the price of these. I could update if need be. Does not look like I will have to update. The hooks are fantastic. I love the tip shape, just enough point to them. The yarn slides easily on the bamboo. The hooks grab the yarn easily, I am using Lion Brand Vanna's Choice worsted, size 4 yarn with the K, 6.5mm hook. It is working like a charm. I have a cord attached. It is soft and flexible and does not loosen. The end cap is great. I have a set of expensive circular knitting needles and I am constantly retightening and picking up stitches that fell off. The connection joint on these is really well designed. Now, I have read comments, on various sites, about the case not being pretty? Well, it is a great looking case, and more importantly, it is extremely well made AND practical. The holder for the TCHs is well done and secures them, but you do not have to struggle to get them out. On the right end there is a space for the end caps, WITH a very secure holder for the caps so that they do not fall out. What is there to complain about with that? The compartments for the cords are, as well, very well thought out and secure. I love that the case wraps and secures closed easily. Why do they say it is not pretty? I have no idea. If the look is more important than quality, that is a matter of what your priorities are. Even if I did not like the look, I would still love this because it is a convenient case, and well thought out. I highly recommend this set. The price of this set is extremely fair. It would have cost me a lot more at other stores, I did look. I wanted to go to a local store to get this set of TCHs, but the higher price at the store was too much higher. There are sooo many tools included, 9 TCHs, 5 end caps, and 5 cords to use. All of that and a handy, well thought out case. Way MORE than I expected at this price. .

I've had my eye on the Tulip Tunisian crochet hook set for several months, but couldn't justify spending $250. After watching a YouTube review that compared several sets, I decided to give Clover a try because of the positive review and the price point. The first thing I noticed when I unpackaged the set was the storage case and how the wrap-around strap didn't secure. I'll have to glue on or sew in a Velcro patch when I get around to it. That's my only complaint with the case. Love the variety of cords and stoppers it includes. The cords come tucked into the built-in pockets on the right side of the case. The stoppers are stored in a pouch that is sewn directly above the cord slots. You have to make sure the stoppers are tightly screwed into the cord. Because as you work, they loosen and eventually fall off. I would have also liked to have some cord adapters so that I can extend the size beyond the largest (which measures 24"). Also like the size range (3.5mm to 8.0mm) of the hooks. They glide smoothly through lace thread to worsted weight yarns. The only thing I missed was the sharp point of the tip (got spoiled with the Tulip hook). Aside from that, they're great to work with. Comparing them with the Denise hook set I got five years ago, I like the sturdy feel of the Clover set much better. I've never had a Denise hook snap on me while working wide Tunisian strips for an afghan, but I wasn't able to work with them for longer than 2 hours without muscle strain in my hands, arms, and shoulders. I can work all day and into the night with the Clover hooks without having to take an ibuprofen to combat the pain. While I like the price of this set, I wish it had come with cord adapters (like the Denise set) so that I can create long cords for afghan and bedspread projects. Gripes aside, I still give this set a 5-star rating. It's a great set for both beginner and experienced crochet artists because you can use the hooks for a wide variety of projects.

There are products that we purchase that take us by surprise by how good they turn out to be. This set is one of those rare items. I have heard mixed reviews. While everyone is entitled to their observation and opinion, I feel that these hooks are amazing. They take some getting used to since the shaft is rounded all the way. There is no notch cut out for the thumb to grip so this is the part that takes a bit of getting accustomed to. The hook length and the cable length are fantastic. I thought I would have a hard time with the cord since it’s not extendable, but I found it easy to use. I don’t know if clover makes cable extender links. I haven’t found any for the takumi line. It would be great if they did have the extenders for the takumi brand as these cables and hooks are not interchangeable with other sets as are some of the other brands I have in my collection. The shaft is smooth and does not snag or split the yarn which is the most importance of all features when Tunisian or classic crocheting.

Ich finde die Häkelnadeln super, der Faden gleitet förmlich darauf. Dieses Set ist jeden Cent wert.

The crochet hooks are so light it feels like I'm holding nothing. It took some adjustment after using metal hooks for 8 years, but these are smooth, yarn splitting only occurs when I'm too hasty, and the screw-on attatchements are easy to use and don't come lose when in use. The hooks are perfect for both regular and Tunisan work, and the sizes cover a fantastic range of yarn weight. If you're looking for a nice set of general wooden/bamboo hooks, double up the money value and grab these. Even if you don't engage in Tunisian, you might in the future like I have. I highly recommend this set. As someone who plans to use these for travel, my only personal adjustment is adding some press studs onto the pouch that holds the 4 end screws and 2 on the purple strap to make sure nothing gets lost and it's all nicely secure.

Wasn't sure what to expect - I'm a newbie crocheter - but having now used the hooks for 3 projects I really like working with this set. The hooks are very soft in the hands and work smoothly on the yarn. A bonus is that because the hooks are long enough - 6 inches - you can use them for doing regular crochet too (not cords), which is why I invested in this tunisian crochet set. Just FYI, you can also purchase a separate connector for the cords if you wanted to connect two cords to make an even longer one than their longest one (which is actually really quite long already since the yarn that collects on it scrunches up). So far, very happy with my purchase!

As clover Armour are my favourite standard crochet hooks, and this set was recommended by TLYarncraft, I decided to go for the full Tunisian set and I LOVE them. They really do glide smoothly and do not split the yarn. The rotating cords seem nice and sturdy - I have big hands and a knife hold, so my palm can press on the cord rather than the bamboo hook itself. So far no sign of wear. I have also tried attaching a hook to both ends of a cord (instead of a stopper to one end) for circular Tunisian crochet.

Adore this set! Feels very good in the hands and the hook is shaped and rounded perfectly so it doesn't split the yarn, zero snag whatsoever. I waited years for this set, thanks for improving the European distribution, Clover and Amazon!
