addiTun Tunisian Crochet Hooks
Tunisian crochet, sometimes called Afghan crochet, is perfectly executed with the special long addiTun hook, made from very lightweight aluminum. This technique allows you to create beautiful textures and a fabric that is dense yet soft. Another advantage is that yarn consumption is reduced by approximately 20% compared to regular crochet at the same gauge.
This hook is longer than a standard crochet hook and has a stopper on the end to hold the live stitches and prevent them from falling off.
Important Tips for Tunisian Crochet:
- It is very important to remember not to pull your working yarn too tightly, otherwise picking up stitches onto the hook will be very difficult.
- For this reason, you should typically choose a hook that is a half-size larger than you would for regular crochet. For example, if you would normally use a 2.0 mm hook, you should use a 2.5 mm hook for Tunisian crochet.
