​This crochet hook is made from THIN WIN. 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.

Has dark purplish-brown to chocolate brown heartwood , with very close and fine black veins. The sapwood is very distinct from the heartwood, and is buff or pale yellowish brown in color.
Used for carvings in Burma, also good for heavy construction due to strength. 
Trees grows to 80 feet in height and about 2 feet in diameter. Tough on hand tools but works well with machine tools and takes a high polish. Weight at 14 percent moisture is 69 pounds per cubic foot.
