​This crochet hook is made from Red Palm.  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.


Please note that smaller sizes will have a Gabon Ebony tip ( 7 - 4.5mm) or smaller).


Be sure to read some of my reviews!

Red Palm (Cocos nucifera) also known as Coconut Palm grows throughout the tropics worldwide. Red Palm is grown throughout the tropics worldwide for its fruit. Nearly every part of the tree is said to have a use or value. Older trees are typically only harvested for wood after they have passed their time of fruit-bearing—usually after 50-70 years.
Red Palm is neither a softwood nor a hardwood, palm falls into the category of monocots, which also includes bamboo, grass, banana, rice, wheat, corn, etc. Palm woods have no growth rings, 
​Red Palm is highly variable in weight, strength, and hardness properties. The trunk is a gradient between the strong fibrovascular bundles, and the softer cellulose structure. Toward the outer wall of the trunk, the density of the wood is the greatest, and gradually becomes lighter, softer, and weaker towards the soft core, Which is opposite of most trees, but then this isn't a tree.....it's grass.
