I'm in love with this brand hook. I no longer use my other brackets, except in large sizes because I have not yet purchased the 6.5 and more clover love. I do a lot of amigurumi so I shake the hook well in hand and with love clover hooks not tiring, whereas before I had to do lots of Pause- with prym, susan bates, boye or something else. ca for beginners like a little expensive but it is an investment well worth it! I advice to everyone !!
