What is it? – Crochet has been around for a long time. Just ask your friends at Wikipedia. Having said that, crochet is still very relevant, even considered cool and growing in popularity as evidenced by trending pieces all the way from grandmother to Dolce & Gabbana. Fashion and fashion accessories, home décor and amazing independent pieces abound. Patterns and ideas can be found in our favorite yarn haunts or online. In this era of expanding creative endeavor, modern textile processes and world-wide search access and sourcing presents us with an ever-expanding variety of amazing new yarns representing exciting new colors and textures. Never has the creative potential of crochet been so unlimited. Unfortunately, the “old” tools don’t always support all of the “new” that we want to achieve with these exciting new textile mediums and colors. Grandmother’s crochet hooks just don’t support modern techniques and fibers as well as they should, but Clover has developed the Amour Crochet Hook line to do just that.
What does it do? – Clover really has gone the extra mile investing in research and development to ensure that Amour Crochet Hooks will contribute to your crochet creativity index in every way and well into the future.
-
Handles – The handles have soft, ergonomically designed to provide hours of comfortable, stress free manipulation. The hooks are also very light so your stitches are smooth and fast.
-
The plastic hooks are seam free so your delicate yarns will never snag. Your fine materials will slide smoothly and easily over the surface.
-
Tip design – The tip of each crochet hook is engineered specifically to engage and manipulate the thread smoothly, evenly and without damage. The Amour tip has a slight point so you don’t have to worry about splitting yarns when the hook is inserted. The lip is slightly rounded so no snagging or splitting when pulling through. And lastly the groove also has a rounded component to prevent our stitches from accidentally slipping off. The overall point design makes smooth, fast work of even the most demanding crochet designs.
-
The neck between the handle and the taper down to the hook is extended to allow you to pick up multiple loops, all with consistent diameter. Your project lies flat and you get the shape you intended. The hook design works for you, not against you.
