DROPS Pro Romance crochet hook set: birchwood crochet set from 3.5 to 8.0 mm

When you’re looking for a truly practical crochet set, the DROPS Pro Romance crochet hook set gets straight to the point: five sizes designed for comfortable work with medium and chunky yarns, without lugging around a huge case. The 3.5–8.0 mm range is the typical one you’ll see in many winter garments and accessories, and also in home projects where you want a fabric with body and great presence.

What’s great about a DROPS Pro Romance crochet hook set in birch wood isn’t just the look. Wood often feels warmer in the hand than metal and, if you like crocheting for longer stretches, many crocheters find the feel really pleasant. Plus, because the sizes are sensibly spaced, it’s easy to move up or down a hook size to fine-tune drape and density without guesswork.

If your idea is to buy the DROPS Pro Romance crochet hook set as a core tool, the format makes sense for one simple reason: it saves you from repeated one-off purchases and gives you a tidy “core” selection. Many shops supply it with a transparent case, which makes it easy to spot each size and carry it without the hooks rolling loose in your project bag.

What’s included and features of the DROPS Pro Romance crochet hook set

The DROPS Pro Romance crochet hook set includes 5 crochet hooks, 15 cm long, in sizes 3.5 / 4.5 / 5.0 / 6.0 / 8.0 mm. DROPS describes it as a birchwood crochet set that is “pleasing to the eye and to the touch”, and Spanish retailers also specify it as coloured birch wood.

In day-to-day use, the value of a set like this is the logistics: clear sizes, all stored in one place. Retailers that stock it state that it comes with a plastic case, designed to organise and protect the hooks when you store them or take them out and about.

As for the finish, shop descriptions often emphasise a smooth polish and a pleasant feel, with the idea that the yarn glides well while you work. No hype: the final glide depends a lot on the yarn (cotton, wool, blends) and your tension, but a well-polished hook is especially noticeable on repetitive stitches where you want consistency.

  • Length: 15 cm

Recommended projects for the DROPS Pro Romance crochet hook set and how to make the most of its sizes

The range in this DROPS Pro Romance crochet hook set is aimed at yarn weights where crochet “works up quickly”: medium, chunky and super chunky yarns, or cottons with plenty of body. The practical advantage is that you can adapt the result: with the same yarn, going up a size usually gives more drape and a more open stitch; going down a size tends to create a denser fabric with clearer definition. That flexibility is exactly what makes a multi-size set so useful.

To get the most out of it, the rule is simple and realistic: follow the pattern—and trust your swatch. If a design calls for a 5.0 mm hook but your tension makes the fabric too stiff, having a 5.5 mm doesn’t help here, but the jump to 6.0 mm might. And if you want a firmer finish (for example, for a bag), dropping to 4.5 mm can give you a more stable fabric without changing yarn.

Projects where this set is a particularly good fit:

  • Cowls, scarves and crochet hats in medium/chunky yarn
  • Blankets and throws with textured stitches or large motifs
  • Chunky shawls and ponchos for autumn/winter
  • Bags, baskets and home pieces made with sturdy yarn
  • Simple garments (jumpers, cardigans) in easy, repetitive stitches

And if you like crocheting away from home, the case that comes with the DROPS Pro Romance crochet hook set helps keep your kit “closed”: choose the size you need, put it back in its slot and reduce the chances of losing one. It seems like a small thing—until you’re missing the 6.0 mm halfway through a project.
