Question 1

The posted set sizes do not match any of the conversion chart sizes. Any idea what country these are for?

Accepted Answer

The numbers on these hooks are NOT accurate to US steel hook sizes.  Steels are labeled as numbers, yes, but the numbers given on these is far different than what we normally use.  You MUST use the mm sizes to choose a hook if you are working lace with these.  The largest hook in this set is NOT a '0' as it is labeled, but rather just smaller than a US 6, while the smallest hook that they label as a 12 is finer than a US 14.

Question 2

Ok, is the no.2/1.50mm the same size or similar in size to no.7/1.65mm steel boyd hook?   i have a pattern that calls for 7/1.65mm.

Accepted Answer

1.50mm is similar to 1.65mm.  I don't necessarily use the needles indicated in that pattern but rather use a needle size that produces the correct gauge.  In other words, before starting the project I make what should be a 4" x 4" sample.  If the needle size indicated in the pattern does not produce the correct size sample, I adjust try a different needle.  Often the needle size called for in the pattern produces the correct gauge, however, sometimes not.

Question 3

Are these inline or tapered?

Accepted Answer

These are tapered. I typically prefer inline and yet these are by far my favorite hooks. In this case, I wouldn't let a preference for either style deter you from trying them. They are so comfortable to work with and move smoothly through any stitch.

Question 4

Are these approx 1/4 inches across?  i'm trying to compare the size of the handle to the tulip steel set as i want the thickest handle possible.

Accepted Answer

Handles are about 3/8" where the grip is at widest point, and about 5/16" where the grip is at thickest point.
