Tunisian Crochet Hooks - knitsewcraft.co.uk online store
Crochet is a versatile craft and originates from a technique called Nålebinding, which is Danish for "binding with a needle". Crochet and knitting are one of most therapeutic artistic pursuits and help alleviate symptoms of mild depression and anxiety. Tunisian crochet, also known as Afghan crochet, uses an elongated metal hook with a stopper on the end. Working with an Tunisian or Afghan hook forms a stitch that is similar to knitting and is often used for large flat pieces, such as the blankets that have come to be called Afghan throws. Tunisian long hooks can also be used to create wash cloths, cuff bracelets, crocheted belts, neck warmers, hats, scarves and sweaters, or for cro-tatting intricate lace work.
