Description
This Crochet Hooks set is 22 aluminium hooks priced at $18.99, covering 0.6mm through to 6.5mm in a single storage bag. Twelve fine silver hooks handle lace and thread work from 0.6mm up; ten colour-coded hooks cover the everyday yarn sizes from 2.0mm to 6.5mm.
Buying hooks one at a time is how most people start, and it is how most people end up with four of the same 4mm and none of the size a pattern actually calls for. A full range costs less than a handful of individual hooks and means you never have to stop mid-project to order one. The colour coding on the larger sizes also solves the everyday annoyance of squinting at a tiny stamped number on a metal shaft.

Why a Full Range Beats Buying Hooks Singly
-
Every common size covered - 0.6mm lace through to 6.5mm chunky, so no pattern stops you
-
Colour coded above 2mm - find the size by colour instead of hunting for the stamped number
-
Two shaft lengths - 12cm for fine thread control, 15cm for yarn where you need more leverage
-
Aluminium glide - yarn slips off the shaft more easily than it does off plastic or bamboo
-
Stays together - the bag is why you still own all 22 in a year, rather than six
Which Crochet Hook Size Should a Beginner Start With?
4.0mm or 4.5mm with an 8 ply yarn. That combination is forgiving: stitches are big enough to see clearly, the yarn is thick enough not to split, and most beginner patterns are written for it. Work up or down from there depending on whether your tension comes out tight or loose - a tight crocheter should size up, a loose one should size down. Both sizes are in this set, so you can swap between them without buying anything.
What Are the Tiny 0.6mm Hooks For?
Fine thread work rather than yarn - doilies, lace edging, thread crochet, Irish crochet, amigurumi detail and jewellery made from crochet cotton. They also get used for rescuing dropped stitches in knitting and for pulling fringe or tassels through fabric. If you have never used one, start at the 1.5mm to 1.9mm end rather than the 0.6mm, which is genuinely fiddly.
Do Aluminium Hooks Suit Every Yarn?
They suit most. Aluminium is slick, so stitches move freely and you work faster - ideal with cotton, acrylic and standard wool blends. Where it works against you is with very slippery yarns like bamboo, silk or mercerised cotton, which can slide off the hook; bamboo or wooden hooks grip those better. For everyday crochet with the yarns sold in Australian craft shops, aluminium is the right default.
Beginners buying a first proper kit, experienced crocheters replacing a set that has gone missing over the years, and anyone picking crochet back up after a break. It also gets bought as a gift alongside a few balls of yarn.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are all 22 hooks in one purchase?
Yes - the 22 piece option includes 12 fine silver hooks and 10 coloured hooks in one bag. The 7 piece sewing and curved needle set listed here is a separate, cheaper item and does not include crochet hooks.
Is yarn included?
No. The set is hooks and a storage bag only.
Do the handles have grips?
No. These are traditional slim aluminium hooks without rubber ergonomic handles. If you have arthritis or wrist pain, look for a set with padded grips instead.
Is the size printed on each hook?
Yes, stamped on the shaft. The larger hooks are also colour coded, which is faster to read.
What sizes do the colours correspond to?
The ten coloured hooks run 2.0mm to 6.5mm in 0.5mm steps.
Are they suitable for left-handed crochet?
Yes. These are standard inline-style hooks with no handedness.
Will they scratch or bend?
Aluminium is soft compared with steel, so the very fine hooks should be handled gently. Store them in the bag rather than loose in a drawer.
