This crochet hook is made from TEAK 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 3/4" to 7 1/4" long.

Sizes N (10mm) and larger are 7 1/2" 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.

  Teak Burl (Tectonis grandis) has dark golden-yellow heartwood which will darken with age. The burl has a distinct oily feel and is characteristically scented. It turn very easily but because of the oil it loads up sandpaper like crazy. The saw dust will actually bond to the wood like wax when sanding on the lathe. The grain may be either straight or wavy, with conspicuous growth rings. Teak most often is used in ship building and decking as it's impervious to water and can tolerate brutal conditions that no other wood can survive. It's also acid resistant and it is used in laboratories as bench tops and chemical vats. Its other uses include cabinet making and garden furniture.This wood is sourced from Southeast Asia, Burma, Thailand and India
