Temu Vs Tulip Crochet Hooks Review: Which One is the Best for Your Projects? | Ultimate Comparison

So today I am deep diving into some more crochet hooks. I got these off of Temu. If you haven't seen my Temu haul, be sure to go hit that link and see all of the stuff that I got for super cheap. And I'm going to test it all and see if it's actually a good deal. If you want to see all of those videos, be sure to hit like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell because I'll be releasing them so you can see How well this stuff works. But for now, I'm gonna talk about these crochet hooks that I got for a super steal on Temu. Check out, that's cheap. I got nine crochet hooks from a two all the way to a six millimeter, which a lot of sets don't go that small. Like usually kind of it'll start maybe at a 2.5 or a three, but it's pretty, pretty rare to get like a two. You know, you're not going to be using it all the time unless you love making doilies and lace weight items, but it's good to have when you need it. I got these because I thought... On the picture when I purchased them, I don't know if I got if I picked the wrong color or what, but they looked just like my Tulip crochet hooks that I love and use all the time. Here's one for a side by side comparison. They are pretty identical for the shape and what you're getting. So I wanted to see the Tulips I think are like around $40 for a whole set where these were like $5 for a whole set, so I wanted to see, are these going to work as well as my tulips? So I went and did some projects that I've been working on. I used a couple different sizes just to see if maybe one size reacted differently than a different size. So we're going to look at some close-ups of that so I can explain what I think of these and how well they work. So let's go check that out now. So I'm going to start with one of my favorite hooks. This is a tulip. Or an Addi Tulip hook that I absolutely love, it's nice and smooth, you can see how easy it is to get through my stitches. Every kind of yarn, every kind of stitch, it's just really easy to use. Then what I'm going to do is I'm going to show you what the Timu hook is like. So here I am switching, and you can see it looks similar, correct, but you'll notice As I'm stitching... I get a little bit hung up right where the shaft changes size. It's a little, like I have to force it a little bit. It doesn't pull easily through my stitches when I'm grabbing my yarn and coming back through, and it's just, it's not... As easy as the Tulip or a Clover Soft Touch that I also use all the time. So here's the tulip again, just so you can see what that looks like one more time. See how easy it is? Like there's no stoppage, there's no problem. And it's very subtle, but it's enough to not make it totally pleasant. And I tried it with a few different hook sizes. You can see in the little picture in picture there that even the smaller hook, Also had issues. So looking at a side-by-side of the two hooks, they look almost identical actually, but there's a little hump on the back side of the Temu hook that's barely perceptible, but it's causing an issue when I actually crochet with it. So it's not Something that is super obvious until you start using it, but you can see the heads look similar, the shafts look similar, and the actual handles look really similar. But it's just not quite as good as the more expensive hooks. So let's go do some final thoughts on this hook. So as you can see, these did not quite stack up to my tulips. I will still stick with my tulips, but these worked well enough. I, um, the way that I crochet, the bump would probably drive me a little crazy, so I don't think that I would be using these much, except for maybe, like, pictures or using them, you know, because me, I have a lot of pattern pictures and different things, so I can put these with something that they would go with to kind of accentuate, you know, so it works It works for me, but if you're buying a set to use on a daily basis, I would not pick these, so my original rating was a 4.5, so I think I'm going to pop this into a 2.5. They're not great for everyday use, they're not great for crocheting with consistently because they do have kind of that little stoppage that happens while you're working, but if It's all you have on hand or you can only spare five dollars. It will work and if you don't know any better you probably won't notice it as much but if you've used a higher quality crochet hook you'll notice the difference for sure and you will not want to use these compared to your other hooks. So while they are cute and I love the blue color I'm not going to be using these on a consistent basis. Have you tried these? Have you bought these off of Temu? What do you think? Are they something that you enjoy using or do you feel the same way? Tell me in the comments below, I would love to hear. And if you see anything that you want me to try, mention that too. I'll go buy it and see how it does. So be sure that you're hitting that notification bell if you want to see the rest of my deep dives because I'm going to go over all of it.
