Clover’s Soft Touch line sits between the bare-handle base line and the fully cushioned Amour line, with a lighter grip and a price closer to the base set. I think of it as the middle option for anyone who wants some cushioning without paying full Amour prices.
How Soft Touch compares to Amour and base Clover
The grip is firmer and thinner than Amour’s cushion, but noticeably softer than the bare aluminum base line. The hook heads perform identically across all three lines, since only the handle changes.
What’s in the set
- Size range: covers common working sizes in a boxed set.
- Handle: light cushioned grip.
- Price: between the base line and Amour.
Frequently asked questions
Is Soft Touch as comfortable as Amour?
Not quite. The grip is lighter than Amour’s full cushion, a reasonable middle ground rather than a downgrade.
Should I buy Soft Touch or Amour?
If cost matters and you only crochet occasionally, Soft Touch is a reasonable middle ground. For frequent, long sessions, I’d spend the extra for Amour.
