This crochet hook is made from Buckeye Burl with your choice of exotic wood ends. 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 6 1/2" 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 M (9mm) and smaller are 6 1/2" to 7 1/4" long.


Sizes N (10mm) and larger are 7 1/4" 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!

Buckeye (Aesculus californica)  is one of seven types of buckeye trees in North America. There are also related trees in Mexico, Asia, South America and India. Buckeye burl is highly prized for the beautiful pattern of burl eyes, swirls and other figure. Spalting of the wood transforms it from the off white color to a mixture of off white with grey, blues and or purples. The wood is very difficult to work with and it's prone to cracking, splitting and distortion when drying
