Products
We offer a wide range of hooks made from a variety of materials. Though some features across each range are unique, one common characteristic is the diameter of the handle. All Furls hooks feature a width that allows the MCP joint to comfortably rest in a neutral position without excessive abduction or adduction. Our hooks are designed to prevent and alleviate the hand pain traditional crochet hooks may cause or worsen.
Please refer to our Hook Comparison Guide for details across all our ranges.
Selecting the perfect crochet hook is an exciting journey, unique to each crafter! At Furls, we understand that everyone's crochet style is distinct, which makes choosing your hook a personal adventure.

To keep your hooks in excellent condition, wipe them gently after each use with a soft, lint-free cloth and avoid abrasive materials. Proper storage is also essential for longevity. We recommend storing them in the box they arrived in or choosing one of our Hook Storage Solutions.
We recommend washing your hands before use and avoiding lotions while handling hooks.
We recommend using digital calipers or an open crochet hook gauge for accurate measurements. Closed gauges used for knitting needles are unsuitable for measuring crochet hook heads.
Measure your hook directly below the shoulder or where the slope of the hook meets the shaft. Please see our Hook Measuring Blog Post for details (COMING SOON).
Exercise extreme caution when using metal calipers, as they can scratch the polished surface of your crochet hooks.
Our paper packaging can be recycled in most curbside recycling programs. We recommend consulting your local recycling center before disposing of products and packaging.
Below is the list of materials used for our most popular products. If you require more information on our products, please email support@furlscrochet.com.
Streamline Metal Hooks - 100% recyclable.
100% Solid Wood Hooks and Accessories - We only use kiln-dried woods, all-natural finishing oils, and polishes, making them eco-friendly.
Resin Hooks and Accessories - Not recyclable. We hope to offer a resin recycling program in the future.
Wood and Acrylic Hooks - Not recyclable when combined with additional materials.
Wander Yarn - Acrylic yarn is not recyclable. However, it can be repurposed for
a new project in most cases!
Shipping materials - Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our shipping practices. We use recyclable boxes and tape for all our shipments, ensuring the packaging materials can be easily recycled. Additionally, any paper filler inside the box is 100% recyclable, aligning with our eco-friendly values. To properly recycle the box your order arrived in, please remove the sticker shipping label and any plastics the shipping carrier may have added.
In our efforts to minimize plastic waste, the plastic bags used to package our yarn are repurposed. Yarn arrives at our facility in packs of 10, and we save this plastic packaging to reuse for customer orders, significantly reducing our plastic footprint.
Similarly, our leather products are delivered in plastic to safeguard against potential water damage en route to our warehouse. This plastic is then reused to ship products to you, our valued customer, ensuring protection while maintaining our commitment to environmental responsibility.
