Furls crochet hook sets are known for a sculpted wood or resin handle with a distinct angled shape, aimed at reducing wrist strain during long sessions. I think of Furls as sitting at the higher end of the price range, closer to a gift item than an everyday budget hook.
The angled handle design
Furls handles are shaped at an angle rather than straight, which some crocheters find keeps the wrist in a more neutral position over long sessions. This is a more specialized shape than the straight cushioned grips most other ergonomic brands use.
What to expect from a Furls set
- Material: wood or resin handles, often with decorative patterns.
- Price: premium, among the higher-priced hook brands.
- Presentation: frequently sold as gift sets with cases included.
Frequently asked questions
Is Furls worth the price?
If wrist strain is a real problem for you, the angled handle may be worth trying. For casual crocheters, I’d start with a cheaper ergonomic option first. That’s been my own experience with it too.
Are Furls hooks good for beginners?
They work fine, but the premium price makes them a harder recommendation for someone still figuring out if crochet is a lasting hobby. I’ve found this holds true in my own experience.
