(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, October 12, 2015 ) Thief River Falls, Minnesota -- Haven for Hands has just released a new set of nine crochet hooks with ergonomic handles. This is the first product under the Haven for Hands brand. The hooks feature engraved sizes on the handles that show U.S. and metric sizing for easy selection without a conversion chart. The set also includes a retractable tape measure, collapsible serrated scissors, and ten stitch markers. A canvas cloth case that can be rolled for travel or storage holds both the hooks and accessories.
The set comes with one of each of the following sizes: B/2.0 mm, C/2.5 mm, D/3.0 mm, E/3.5 mm, G/4.0 mm, 7/4.5 mm, H/5.0 mm, I/5.5 mm, and J/6.0 mm. These are commonly used sizes found in crochet patterns.
The tan canvas cloth case is covered in a simple floral print that provides contrast in relation to the typically bold, solid colors of yarn used in crochet projects. A cloth flap keeps the hooks from falling out of the case, and the zippered pouch holds supplies in place. A sturdy button closes the case when not in use. The closed case is convenient to carry in one hand, and can easily fit in most craft project bags.
This set was designed for both the beginner and experienced crocheter of any age. Each hook is identified by a different color, and the ten stitch markers are brightly colored for quick identification in the middle of a project or in a project bag. A pair of serrated scissors and a retractable tape measure extending to 60 inches (150 centimeters) complete the set.
