Yes, we know you want Harmony Crochet hooks.

We've gotten many, many requests for Harmony crochet hooks. We'd love to sell them to you. Unfortunately, right now we don't have a manufacturer that can create enough hooks to meet demand. We promise this is something we're looking into, and we hope to offer Harmony Crochet hooks in the future. If we get them, you'll be the first to know. :)

I think Elianastar is on to something here!! The handle in Harmony with interchangable tips of Nickel Plate heads. Wow! What a concept. You could even make different sizes of Harmony handles- 1/2" 3/4" 1". People could buy what is most comfortable to them. You could even make the tiny steel crochet hooks in the Nickel plate? I hate to hold mine bare. Cramps up my hands- that's why I rarely crochet anymore. :(

I'd love to see something like the nickel options needles that connect to cables for tunisian crochet too. there are a few yarns out there that don't play well with wood. a set of regular length hooks but with a base that can be screwed into a cable would be awesome. I'd love to have a set of metal hooks that can be used regular crocheting and then be able to attach a cable and use them for tunisian. i love having options.

I have a few Tunisian cable hooks that are 22" long. I think they are Boye hooks. Sadly, the hooks themselves are made of plastic, which almost always seems to have "burrs" that snag some yarns as you work with them. They also seem to be available only in 3 sizes, all fine for light worsted to worsted weight yarns, but no good for DK, sport or bulkier yarns. And the plastic cables detach from the heads if you use them "hard" like I tend to. Super glue works for a while to fix them, but they always come lose again. Sigh.
I'd love to have a set of longer tunesian cable hooks in more sizes and lenghts, with wooden heads. Interchangable would be even better! I have used some of the 40" double head cable crochet hooks to make larger tunesian pieces, and have used DUCT TAPE to make a huge ball on one head to prevent stitches from getting caught or slipping off, but it does have some issues. HARMONY hooks- please, please make me some hooks! I'll definately buy them all!

I'd love to see Knitpicks expand everything to include more crochet items. Patterns, hooks, you name it! I love to knit too but I often alternate between knit and crochet projects. Knitpicks is my favorite shopping site for yarns, patterns, books and anything else you can think of for knitting, but I'm always so disappointed that there isn't more available for crochet, especially books! Please consider adding to your whole line of crochet stuff!

I forgot to mention the thing I would REALLY love to see is a book on how to crochet using those pop tops! It's really big in Brazil and they make some amazing things with them.

Wow! Great idea. I'd buy them... or at least I'd want to. I want the Harmony knitting needles right now because I want to learn to knit, but I can't do that without needles! The Harmony needles are so pretty too. I'd love to see Harmony crochet hooks. I'm looking for crochet hooks right now with a more comfortable grip. I'm using old metal ones that cramp my hand up after a while and rub sore spots too. Does anyone have any suggestions for a comfortable and affordable crochet set? Pretty would be nice too, but comfort and affordability are the most important factors.

I have done a lot of crocheting -- on and off -- ofer the hears and I my old hands are much more sensitive to the "comfort" factor of the crochet hook. Honestly, although I LOVE the look of the Harmony woods I am not crazy about wooden crochet hooks -- not enough slide. I have seen mention of a combination handle/ wooden shaft/aluminum alloy hook, but that sounds like a lof of "joins" in a product that shouldn have any snags . . .

The most comfortable "holding" hook that I use is the Soft Touch Series by Clover needles. Knit Picks sells them singly and in a set. I find, though, that if you favor a certain weight of yarn you really only need 3 or 4 hooks. For example, I prefer DK weight or worsted yarns so 90% of the time I use a G, H or I hook. Maybe an F.

Anyhow, that's my two cents worth!

Wow! Harmony Hooks would be AMAZING!!! I will be checking constantly to see if you get them, and I'll be buying them up, with everyone else on here I'm sure : ).

I think that because people hold hooks differently, i.e., overhand or underhand, different types of hooks are needed. I hold my hook like a pencil (underhand) and cannot use the Clover or Addi comfort hooks---or any hook that is not straight. I hold my hook closer to the head, so the comfort part gets in my way. I've tried a couple of times to crochet overhand, and I just can't get the hang of it.

I bought a beautiful-looking wood hook by Laurel Hill that I detest. There is no end to the throat. What I mean is, it tapers from the head all the way to the thumb rest. You can't determine the size of the stitch. Here's an example. So please don't make them like this. You need a place on the hook to work your stitch the correct size. I hope I'm making sense.

I like the Bates hooks; I find that Boye hooks split the yarn, and it takes twice as long to finish a project because I keep having to redo the stitches.

Also, please be consistent about the size of a G hook. They will be in different sizes based on the manufacturer, all the way from 4.0 to 4.5. I've actually found one that is 4.25. I believe the correct size is 4.0. I was working with a Clover bamboo hook and the yarn was not right for the bamboo, so I went to get my Bates. The two hooks were obviously different sizes so I measured them. Sure 'nuff, the bamboo was 4.5 and the Bates was 4.0.

I'm intrigued by the idea of a detachable head system, but again, I don't buy hooks with the comfort grip.
