This crochet hook is made from HORNBEAM BURL and BLOODWOOD.This hook is 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 1/4" long.

Sizes L (8mm to M (9mm) are 6 1/4" to 7" 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.


You can request a specific length please contact me before ordering a custom length.


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.

American Hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana) also known as Blue Beech, Iron-wood, or Musclewood. ​Hornbeam’s sapwood is very thick, with most boards and lumber being comprised entirely of sapwood. Color is nearly white. Pale yellowish brown heartwood isn’t clearly demarcated from sapwood. It rated as non-durable to perishable in regards to decay resistance, and is also susceptible to insect attack. However, Hornbeam has excellent resistance to wear and abrasion and  It's often used in tools, especially on the sole plate of wooden planes. It is a native of south east England and can be found throughout central Europe, with related species occurring in North America and Japan. Of the 30-40 species, the greatest number are found in east Asia. Only two species grow in Europe, and one in eastern North America.
