“The excellence and quality construction of these needles and hooks is so superior to anything else in the mass market today,” declares Jan Kahn, VP of Marketing and Sales for Caron. “The ETIMO crochet hooks, Sucre beading hooks and Kanaderu knitting needles can be used for hours without the hand discomfort that is often experienced when using traditional implements. We are thrilled to offer the Tulip products along with our top-selling Simply Soft® and NaturallyCaron.com branded yarns.”

What makes these needles and hooks so spectacular?

The answer is simple.

Extraordinary quality construction and product innovation.

 

Revolutionary ETIMO crochet hooks

Doris Chan, popular crochet designer, says it best: “The biggest advantage of the ETIMO hook is the elastomeric comfort grip.  Revolutionary.  Supremely comfortable, functional, durable.  It has a soft, smooth, cushy feel and fits perfectly in my hand. I never want to be without mine.”

ETIMO crochet hooks feature a comfortable, cushioned grip not found anywhere in the market today. Plus ETIMO hooks are made from durable superior quality aluminum with a polished finish that does not flake or chip. Even better, the handle’s length and depth of the hook itself make stitching easier, too. The result is a crocheter’s dream that allows her to stitch longer, with more accuracy and in greater comfort. 

ETIMO crochet hooks are available in 10 sizes with a suggested US retail price of: $9.99.

Sucre Beading Hooks

Knitters and crocheters love to embellish their work, but often lack the proper tool to get the job done. Not any more. With Sucre Beading Hooks, beading embellishments are a breeze. Sized just right to handle most types of yarn- and thread-friendly beads Sucre beading hooks feature the same comfort grip as the fabulous ETIMO crochet hook.

Sucre crochet hooks are available in 5 sizes with a suggested US retail price of: $9.99.

Kanaderu Circular Knitting Needles

All bamboo needles are not created equal, something knitters immediately discover when they pick up a set of Tulip circulars. The needles’ warmth and exceptional smoothness are unique to the Kanaderu bamboo used in these top quality tools. The smooth tips give precise stitch control and fluid cable join allows stitches to glide effortlessly on the needles.
