Yarniss Crochet Hooks 14 Piece Set

Edit: so that slight texture on the stem of the hook is troublesome. I imagine on acrylic yarn it's not quite as noticeable, but on cotton yarn it makes going through the stitch more difficult than it should be. Today I used the 5mm hook, which has the texture more than my 4.5, and it made it VERY difficult to use. I just went back to the 4.5 Pretty disappointed. So I got these today, so may come back with a change of heart Firstly, they feel so much better to use than the metal ones which I was using before. These have nice handles, nice and comfortable. I got the 12 pack. The colors on the handles are nice and it's a very good variety of sizes. My complaint is the finish. There is a very mild texture of some sort on the rods. Not the hooks luckily. Those are smooth. But when you go further through a stitch, you can feel the yarn drag a bit. Not enough to cause any issues. Just enough to feel and get mild heebie-jeebies. But other than the rod, the hook does slip in nicely. The hooks are wonderful. I don't know why but the hooks on my metal ones had a lot of technical difficulties, exacerbated by me being a beginner. (Losing the thread while pulling through, separating the threads themselves) These ones seem to have less issues. This was 9.99, so I can't expect perfection. Hence only docking one star for the texture. But otherwise it's a great deal.
