The price depends on the range. An aluminium crochet hook set, such as the Pony set, is the most affordable option and the usual entry point for beginners. Sets with ergonomic handles, such as Opry, sit in the mid-range, while the DROPS Pro line is the premium choice. In every case, you are looking for a balance between the number of sizes and comfort.

Crochet hook sets: graded range from Pony, Opry and DROPS Pro
Each crochet hook set brings together crochet hooks in several sizes —usually from 2 to 6 mm— in an organiser case. At Garmon Yarns, the range is graded: Pony aluminium as a good value-for-money option, the Opry ergonomic handle and the premium DROPS Pro line, offering good quality.
Choosing between them mainly depends on the feel you are looking for and how much you crochet. Models with an ergonomic handle are more comfortable for long sessions, while aluminium is lightweight and glides well.

Ergonomic crochet hooks for long sessions
If you crochet for hours or notice discomfort in your hand, a set of ergonomic crochet hooks with a soft handle distributes pressure more evenly. The Opry and DROPS Pro ranges are designed for just that, with wide, non-slip handles that help you maintain a comfortable grip project after project.
What does a crochet hook set include and what sizes does it come with?
A crochet hook set usually includes several crochet hooks in graduated sizes, typically from 2 to 6 mm, inside an organiser case. With this range, you can cover everything from fine cotton yarns to thicker yarns, without running short of sizes.
- ▷ Several sizes: the 2 to 6 mm selection covers most crochet projects.
- ▷ Handle and material: lightweight aluminium in Pony; ergonomic handle in Opry and DROPS Pro.
- ▷ Organiser case: keeps your crochet hooks tidy and ready to take with you.
Set, kit or set of crochet hooks: how to choose yours
In the shop, you will see these sets named in several ways —crochet hook set, crochet hook kit or set of crochet hooks— but they all describe the same thing: a group of crochet hooks in different sizes. To choose, look at the range of sizes, the feel of the handle and whether you are going to crochet occasionally or frequently.
Beginners usually get on well with a simple aluminium set or one with ergonomic handles in medium sizes; those who crochet often will appreciate a wider set covering 2 to 6 mm. If you need a single size instead of a set, you can buy crochet hooks individually.
