TOTC Restocked 4/4

Does anyone know how they compare to Brittany hooks

 

 

i hated my brittany hooks.. that is why i have all TOTC now.. the brittany's are more like a bates and the TOTC are like a boye if that makes a difference to you .. it does to me..

Well, if you'd like to, you can put the stickers on the hooks themselves, but I don't want to ruin the look of them personally. That would solve your problem though Maybe you can find "clear" letter stickers, then the wood would still show through!

 

Next time, order different woods

I've got a set G through K now. I line them up and can see the differences. Three are Brazilian Tulipwood and one cocobolo and one bocote (are those spelled right?). I think I'm going to ask one of my quilting friends to make me a case that the tubes will fit into. Then I can keep the hooks in the tubes and the tubes will be kept in order and labled. I definitely want to keep them in the tubes when not in use because I am such a klutz and I'd hate to break one.

I used my K today with homespun (I think this is all I work with anymore, lol) and OH! it's so nice... I love these hooks.

I have the different woods for each hook and got the cards that go with them. I was thinking of either putting a sticker on them....something small & decorative or woodburning the letters on them. I'll need to practice more on my woodeburning first tho or have one of my sons do it for me as they were both boyscouts and did a lot of woodburning with their troops. But I like the idea of making a case for the tubes to keep them in. With the Brittanys', the letters were burned into each hook. I have some older bamboo hooks that aren't lettered either, reason I bought a hook guide.

here is another idea.. if you dont have different woods.. the ends are carved differently .. so jsut remember what size which pattern on the end of your hook is.. the more you use them the easier this is.. i have alot of african blackwoods and that is how i tell them apart..

I will have to remember that for furture also I made sure both of mine match even with the shape.
