addiNature Bamboo Crochet Hook for Wool – metal-free, light and warm in the hand

The addiNature bamboo crochet hook for wool from addi (series 545-7) is a 15 cm crochet hook made from 100 % bamboo. It contains no metal at all. The manufacturer uses Japanese bamboo, which feels warm and light.

According to addi, the light weight and warmth of the material make the handle suitable even for crocheters with hand problems. The surface is matt and does not glare. The bamboo is open-pored and can absorb and release moisture. addi lists the hook as Made in Germany.

What you can use the hook for

According to addi, the hook is suitable for pot holders, dishcloths, hats, jumpers, jackets, arm warmers, gloves, scarves, shawls and blankets. It works particularly well with slippery, smooth yarns, because the matt bamboo surface lets the stitches slide less than a polished hook. During long crochet sessions, the light weight eases the strain on your hand.

Hook size and tension

Choose the hook size to suit your yarn and your pattern. What matters is the tension given in your pattern; the figure on the ball band is only a guide. Crochet a small tension swatch before you start the project and check that the measurements are right.
