Fordite a Cast Crochet Hook
This beautiful hand turned crochet hook will be made from clear and colored Alumilite with pieces of Fordite add in the casting.
The 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.
Fordite, also known as Detroit agate or Motor City agate is old automotive paint which has hardened sufficiently to be cut and polished. It was formed from the buildup of layers of enamel paint slag on tracks and skids on which cars were hand spray-painted (a now automated process), which have been baked numerous times.
