The photo above illustrates some of the most popular loom knitting picks or hooks on the market for your tool box. Some of these are included in kits found in local crafts stores or bought online only from reputable companies. I've laid them out side by side and set level at the bottom to illustrate height as well as the grips in better detail. Below, and in the photo, are the names of the companies with the name of the product. This blog is for illustration purposes only. It does not reflect my opinion or view. This is just to be used for reference. Thanks for checking it out. Feel free to pin this, share on FB or link to your own blog. Links are found by clicking the name of the company. This is not a complete list as it is ever growing. Feel free to comment if you have one I should add to the list. Again, some of these are NOT sold separate from the kits at this time.

I haven't tried out the larger of the loom picks but am really happy with the way the pick from CinDwood Crafts grabs up the yarn so easily!! That's the one that I use with my projects now :-) Thanks for the comparison Kristen you rock!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Deborah!
DeleteI like the big round ones because i had a stroke
ReplyDeleteadn can use the hook much easier the bigger it is
and the a looks like the right size.
So far I've only used the one that came in my kit. I want to try some other hooks. Maybe bigger and/or more padded.
ReplyDeleteMine is not pictured here - the ergonomic one from the Provocraft loom and crochet hook set.
