Our signature ergonomic crochet hook design is now available as a hybrid option for smaller crochet hook sizes! This listing is for uncoated handles–meaning the handles are not coated in resin and have more texture and grip to them. Based on feedback from our customers, this is a great option for people whose hands get hot or sweaty when crocheting and smoother hooks may slide around in their hand. Our ergonomic crochet hooks are designed to help minimize hand, wrist & shoulder pain, create more even stitches and allow you to crochet longer. THE DETAILS: • This listing is for our Inline Susan Bates 3.75mm uncoated (no resin coating) Neon Apple Green 3D printed ergonomic hybrid crochet hook shown • Metal hooks are secured into the 3D printed handles with epoxy glue and are not meant to be removed • Features a cone base that allows it to stand up on its own • SUPER lightweight • ALL Hooks are stamped with the millimeter size on the bottom of the hook THE PROCESS: • Each handle takes about 2-3 hours to print • Hooks are then secured into the handle with epoxy glue ***The video in this listing is meant only to show the color of the hook handle and may be a different size than this specific listing*** THE STORY BEHIND THE HOOKS: This has been an ongoing project for me and my husband since he got a 3D printer for Christmas in 2020! It was inevitable that he would try to make me a 3D printed crochet hook but the patterns on the 3D websites were, well meh. We knew we could do better! It took LOTS of trial and error, LOTS of broken and half-printed hooks, and about 10 design changes to get to our this first final design. I used 3D modeling software to create and perfect this hook design (something else I got to learn!) to make it strong & ergonomic and my husband has figured out a great process for making sure the actual hooks are nice and smooth by hand-sanding them and then coating the finished hooks with resin. We now offer hybrid handles that are uncoated as a great entry level option to our premium hooks! We appreciate everyone who has supported and cheered us on though this crazy new venture (my husband was ready to throw a few of these things out the window through the process 😂😂). It has really been an amazing effort on his part to have worked so hard and to have used his new printer for making crochet hooks instead of making things for himself! We are still learning when it comes to this 3D design process and I am not touting these hooks as "perfect"–as with all handmade things, lots of time, love and effort went into getting these hooks to where they are and I will always see imperfections as the proof that we are not creating a mass produced items. Being hand sanded and coated means that each one will have it's own one-of-a-kind "finish" but to me, that's what makes things like this all the more special! Please feel free to reach out to me if you have questions about these hooks! Thank you so much for your support!
