This crochet hook is made from Masur Birch. A very unique wood from Norway and Finland.  It's shaped with a larger handle to relieve stress on the hand and wrist when crocheting. The hook has an Ergonomic shape that fits nicely in the hand.


The crochet hook measures 5 3/4" to 8" long depending on the size of the hook and is 3/4" to 1" in diameter at its widest.


General guidelines are sizes

Sizes K (6.5mm) and smaller are 5 3/4" to 6" long.

Sizes L (8mm to M (9mm) are 6 1/2" to 71/4" long.

Sizes N (10mm) and larger are 7" to 8" long.


Hooks with multiple woods tend to be to the longer side of these measurements. The reason for the variation is that each hooks is hand turned and while the standard shape, which gives the ergonomic advantage, is maintained, each hook is uniquely it's own.


Because this hook is handcrafted there will be variation in appearance, grain and color. No two Hooks will be the same! Pictures are examples of what you will receive.

Be sure to read some of my reviews!

Masur Birch also called Alpine Burl or Karelian Burl after the Finnish province of Karelia where it is often found. It is not a particular species of birch, but is rather a grain figure that is most commonly seen in Downy Birch and Silver Birch. The figure in Masur Birch, is  rumored to be the results of an attacked by the larvae of the Agromyzia Carbonara beetle.  Actually the pattern in Masur Birch is not from any form of larvae. The pattern comes from the bark and/or knots growing into the tree instead of out of it. This wood is very rare.
