Furls Alpha Series Crochet Hook - Product Description
Furls' wooden crochet hooks promise comfort, beauty, and even stitches. Best selected for their beauty and durability, each of the seven woods that Furls use -Tulipwood, Cocobolo, Blackwood, Purpleheart, Bloodwood, Olivewood, and Rosewood- offer every naturally existing wood colour in a stunning collection of grain and figure.
The Alpha series is the hook that started it all. Founder Harrison Richards began making these hooks from his parents' garage and to this day, each Alpha Series hook is made one-by-one, by hand, and is completely one of a kind. There will be no other hook with your hook's unique combination of grain, wood, size, and shape - which we leave up to the artists at the moment of creation. The Alpha Series' signature shape is guaranteed to reduce tension in the MCP and TCL joints - the joints that control the movement of the tendons and ligaments in your wrists and fingers while you crochet - allowing you to crochet longer and acheive more even stitches.
Each hook starts as a blank - an individual piece of timber that came from a unique part of a unique tree - selected for its beauty and decorated with grain and figure you will see nowhere else. The blanks are then carved by woodworkers to meticulous ergonomic standards, using luxurious design elements. After carving, each Alpha Series hook is hand sanded, taken through 7 stages of micropolishing, and then finished to a glass-like surface to ensure a flawless crochet experience.
