Definition
Aluminium crochet hooks are milled metal hooks, usually 2 mm to 8 mm, often with a moulded or ergonomic handle.
Overview
Metal lets yarn glide, which speeds up work and suits grippy fibres such as cotton and linen.
Head shape matters more than material: a tapered inline head splits stitches less than a rounded one.
Characteristics
- Fast, low-friction glide
- Durable
- Cold to start with
- Wide size range
Typical uses
- Everyday crochet
- Cotton and linen work
- Amigurumi
- Garments
