"I absolutely LOVE my Furls hook!!! And I'd like to tell you why… In my retiring years, I needed an outlet for me to express myself creatively and, at the same time, provide me with a calming, stress-free, zen method of quiet meditation. I decided to take on crochet. Then I hit my first hurdle--the quality of available hooks. They either felt wrong, or created more problems than they solved. Some were just aesthetically unpleasing.
I'd been searching for a long time to find a crochet hook with the perfect anatomy to meet my checklist of needs:
A) a tip sharp and pointy enough to easily find its way, pierce and glide through stitches without difficulty
B) a sleek-finished neck wide enough to stretch stitches and prevent my frustration over tightening weave or battling a return stroke
C) a throat deep enough to hold my yarn comfortably without letting it wander out and escape
D) a lip that won't bite through, snag or separate the fibre ply like it's chewing shredded wheat
E) and a proper, comfortable grip for working hours on end without cramping or fatigue.
I discovered the Furls hooks at my friendly neighborhood yarn shop and they were kind enough to let me inspect a dozen of them…because they are all handmade and uniquely different. Each one has its own characteristics and personality. After locating the appropriate size, I checked the hook against my needs list and selected the perfect one. I know mine was destined for me and I will treasure it always. The cherry on the cake is the beautiful wood type and finish which is an aesthetic treasure. If I never used it for crochet, I'd still prize it as a precious art object. It even comes in a sweet little tissue-lined box like an object of rare value. My Furls hook is just like magic and helps me create all kinds of crazy, wonderful stuff as you can see in the photo I've attached! My stress level is down and it brings me peace and focus.
Some have told me they found the price a little dear, but I must remind them that these are individually handcrafted with love and once you own one, you'll never want to use anything else. My other hooks are gathering dust, as I only use my Furls hook now.
Thanks for allowing me to share my joy, and thank you for creating my fabulous Furls hook, just for me!"

"Oh my goodness. I cannot begin to tell you how amazing the hooks are. [...] First off I have carpel tunnel so crocheting for over 20 min at a time doesn't happen. I was in heaven,no pain at all. And still 3 hours later, I still have no pain. This is a Godsend. Bless you! You have a life long customer here."
- Amanda Cox Sylva, Amanda's Beanies, California
" This hook is amazing! I have had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands and also have arthritis in both hands so crocheting was becoming a pain, literally! The hook took a little getting used to but now I love it! Hours of crocheting with no pain whatsoever! I look for projects to do with the hook! My only complaint is I want larger sizes! I have already ordered the F, G and H Candy Shop hooks to start my Furls collection! I have heard some people complaining about the price of the hooks but for me there is no price you can put on being able to continue to create beautiful handmade items pain free! Thank you for creating not only a hook that is fabulous to use but that is also beautiful to look at! I am a customer for life!"

" I received my Furls order today just in time for the Virginia snow storm. Love, Love, Love the hooks. Cannot wait to get more. Took just a little time to get adjusted to the different shape of the hook but after about 700 stitches, the hook felt like it was made for my hand. Thank you for such wonderful hooks and fast service.
I just can't tell you how much I am in love with these hooks already in the few short days that I have owned them. I am in the middle of a very large project, a wedding ring crochet quit, to give to my parents for their 50 anniversary this April. I just started back working on that last night. Being a replica of an actual quilt pattern it goes without saying it's a great deal of piecing together. Kinda stressful on the hands with my traditional hooks. Not with the Furls hook. It was the clock that stopped me last night not my hands. :D"

"I am always on the hunt for a new hook that is comfortable to use. And I found just that in a Furls Hook! I use a 3.5 Alpha Series - Bloodwood Hook. This hook is a pleasure to work with! It is the perfect, shape, weight, and size. Comfort is important for me when crocheting, and I can crochet for hours with this hook without stiffness. The real test for me is if I continue to use a hook after the initial “Newness”, and this is a hook that I will use for years to come!"

"This hook is perfect for my hand and it feels great. I am a better crocheter with this hook."

"The box just arrived safely with the most beautiful, beautiful crochet hooks! Each of which is a work of art! They are so smooth and fit so perfectly in the hand! I thank you with all my heart for accepting my order ... I will treasure these wonderful crochet hooks all my life! "
-Mother Seraphima, Holy Nativity Convent, Massachusetts
Well the hook came today, and what can I say but WOW! You've indeed outdone yourself on this one. I do so love it....it's mine! It feels wonderful in the hand and the hook is like silk - I can't put it down! After I opened the box, we left to go a purchase new tires for the car, and since I wasn't driving, I spent the next 45 minutes playing with it and seeing how it performs. 5 stars! So....thank you ever so much for making this fabulous crochet hook for me. I will say one thing, and that is every time I am able to indulge in another collectible needlework tool I will be right back at your door purchasing another one. My collection has started! Thanks ever so much, for it and of course, for the lovely one-of-a-kind crochet hook. You haven't seen the last of me yet!
-S. Blackwell, North Carolina
My hooks look so beautiful all standing up and being showcased in a stand I purchased from Robert Parish! They're all so beautiful I just want to admire them for awhile and not use them! Now that wouldn't do me much good would it? [...]Your needles make crocheting an art of zen.
-Debbie
"I love my hooks!! I find myself admiring the wood, the feel, and colors. [...] I find that my hands are no longer cramping...wonderful!! I've crocheted three infinity and one curling scarf already...yippie. So much more fun when there's no pain involved. I plan to order more...I'm completely addicted.
-Tammy Blue
"I love my hook. It only took a little bit of time to get used to it. I love the feel of it in my hand. I had some concerns at first that it would be awkward, but those quickly went away. The hook is beautiful and I feel totally pampered everytime I look at it and when I use it. Forget diamonds, I'll take a Furls, please. I have no one in my family who crochets, so I have actually been mentally preparing the note I will prepare to put with my will so that my kids find a worthy heir to it. Honest. :)."

“I am in love with my new hook :) it feels amazing and my hand is definitely more relaxed! It's a gorgeous hook and I can see more in my collection some day. It has given my stitches balance and it didn't take me long at all to get used to it. I purchased a couple more hooks as Christmas gifts and I know they will both enjoy them. “
