very good
Okay - these aren't "good" hooks - HOWEVER, for the PRICE, they're pretty decent. The hooks are a little "sticky" when trying to pull through yarn (any time - cotton, wool, acrylic, bamboo, etc.) - and the handles are plastic and wide, which automatically makes them more comfortable than the normal 'stick'. However, the handles weren't finished off properly so there's this rough plastic nubbin on the bottom, where the manufacturer couldn't be bothered to smooth it off... and the paint/image on the handle looks rubbed off on some of them (like they've been used). All in all - if you know someone STARTING OUT and they just need hooks that work at all and don't fall apart, these are great for a gift!
