Another type of hooks is called the double point needles ,they are available in a variety of beutiful different types of woods such as Rosewood, Ebony, Bamboo, other woods.
These hooks were producted in Germany from scrap wood salvaged from a piano manufacturer, these crochet hooks are just gorgeous. They are wonderful to work with. There is another style of crochet hooks which made for the middle-class market. The needles were made of steel and the handles were made of iron wire and then they were painted black to prevent rust.
There is still another type of hooks that come with a hook on both the top as well as the bottom.! Yes they are for what’s called “cro-hooking”, “cro-knit” or more recently “crochet-on-the-double”. These double ended crochet hooks are just perfect for picking up stitches.
