This beautiful hand turned crochet hook is made from Bird's Eye Maple from the forest of good old US of A.  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.

 Bird's Eye Maple is a domestic hardwood. The Bird's Eye figure is found in heartwood and sapwood. Both can be breathtaking. The boards are from Maple logs with irregular growth. The figure resembles the figure in a burl. It contains a small "eye" like in a burl, but it is more distinct. Each eye stands out separately. Small circular or elliptical areas resembling bird’s eyes on the tangential surface of the wood, formed by indented fibers. Bird's Eye figure is caused by a stunted growth, developed during the years the tree lacked space and sunshine.
