Tunisian Crochet Hooks | 2mm to 8mm | 11 Pcs | 10.5 Inch - Afghan Stitch

Hold a full row of loops the way Tunisian crochet needs. These 11 anodised aluminium hooks are 10.5 Inch (26.7cm) long with an end stopper, in sizes from 2mm to 8mm, one colour per size. Tunisian crochet works like knitting on one hook: you pick up loops on the forward pass and work them off on the return.
