Definition
Jumbo hooks range from roughly 9 mm to 25 mm and are usually made of light wood or resin to keep the weight manageable.
Overview
At this scale the hook carries real leverage, so lighter materials matter — a metal 20 mm hook is exhausting to use.
Big hooks also mean loose fabric: rugs and baskets need a firm border to stop the edges rolling.
