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). On the event that your parcel is held up or is lost, it may take up to three months to receive an answer from the Australia Post Investigation Team. Unfortunately these are Australia Post time frames are out of our control, we will do our best to rectify the issue ASAP. 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! I’ll admit it – I’m a bonafide crochet hook addict. I’m constantly on the search for the best ergonomic crochet hooks which means I buy A LOT of hooks. At last count I had about seven 4mm hooks alone. Seems like overkill right? If I see a hook I’ve never tried before, I buy it immediately – it’s my achilles heel. I think I’m one of the only yarn crafters who buys more hooks than yarn! I’ve had a few people asking what my go to hooks are and the truth is, I use so many different styles of hooks I can’t even count, but I do have a few favourites.

Personally, Clover Crochet Hooks are some of (if not) my favorite crochet hooks that I have used to date! They are lightweight, ergonomic, colorful, affordable and just overall a fantastic set of hooks. 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. 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.

In fact, you can see in the picture below the only difference between my most used (left) and least used (right) Soft Touch hooks is a very slight fading of the gold shaft. I have had no issues with handles splitting, size markings wearing off, or decrease in smoothness. 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. First, I want to say that these are both excellent quality hooks. I genuinely don’t think you can go wrong either way. But they’re also not the only hooks out there, and I encourage you to try as many as you can! Both the Clover Amour and Soft Touch have a tapered hook. There are many great debates on whether tapered is better than inline hooks (and vice versa), but it truly comes down to personal preference. There are pros and cons to both (that’s another post entirely), but my personal preference is tapered. I’m a knife grip crocheter and found it fine to use the Addi Swing but I’m pretty sure a pen grip crocheter would struggle – they look to me like they’re designed for knife grippers.

Truthfully, I’m not sure yet. There is still much playing to be done, and I encourage you to do the same. Video ReviewBeginners, I want you to know that having an expensive or “fancy” hook is not going to help you nearly as much as practice and gaining muscle memory. Don’t buy into the hype that you have to have the prettiest or most expensive hook to create beautiful pieces. It’s just not true. You may choose to restrict the collection or use of your personal information in the following ways: What is the difference between etimo and clover amour? The difference is in the handle. The Clover Amour is flat where you thumb will rest and on the Clover Etimo hooks the handle is more rounded. While I love the gold hook on the Soft Touch, the weird brownish tan of the handle just isn’t as nice to look at, and gets pretty boring. I can’t speak to the longevity of the Amour hooks, as I’ve only been using them for a couple of weeks, however Clover is known for making quality hooks. There isn’t anything that immediately stands out to me as an area of concern. I also haven’t heard of any complaints in the crochet community about the quality. Materials
