lets say you're stranded on an island made of yarn

[deedes]

It would be "H" for me

[niqita]

I really love my "K" hook but would also be happy with a "J"

[Shell]

for yarn 4mm, for thread 1.75mm

[jimbo]

What??!! Not a Q in the bunch??????

[CDBear]

What??!! Not a Q in the bunch??????

.

 

Well, that's my second choice!!!!!! You said we could only have one!!!!!

[walker1021]

I've got to have my G hook!! I would be lost with out it.

[Burgandy]

Depends on the yarn - G if we are talking worsted weight or smaller, N for Bulky sizes.

[amberslipstitch]

yarn a size K....thread size 5

[Melissa]

I need two! An I and a G.

[Knit Happens]

...do the "Gs" have it? G for me. Over the years it has been the hook size I've used the most.

[PBLKNP]

I would say J, as it's useful for a looser worsted weight article that needs more drape; but on the other hand, one can use it with a thicker yarn.

[jimbo]

I think i'll give this a few more days and hopefully alot more folks picking a size. I'm finding out that i just might be wrong in my initial prediction. Who could guess????

 

 

Anyways i hope it keeps going... its a very interesting and informative topic for me as a hook maker.

 

So thanks to all who are participating.

Heh...just read that and wondered "Give this a few more days for what???"

I meant i'll give it a few more days before i do a numbers/hook size kinda result list.

What??!! Not a Q in the bunch??????

 

I have used a "Q" quite a bit for the really fast and chubby afghans! I only have a plastic one. Maybe a wooden one wouldn't feel so much like crocheting with a baseball bat!

 

(I picked "I" with "H" #2 earlier)

[Julia from NorCal]

K. I've been using other sizes a great deal lately but I love my K. OK?

[froggy]

"H" for me!

[laurastar0962]

j for me too......are you surprised the answers are so varied?

[sakurasaku]

Put me down for "G" please.

[chrispersmom]

H for me....it's the yarn one I use the very most!

 

Size 6 or 7 for my thread.

[mythunderbird]

H for me, in yarn, thread size 7 sometimes a 8 but more often than not a 7 steele and as far as a island of yarn, gosh feels like my house now:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

[Aggie May]

4mm for me but then, really, it would depend on the ply of the yarn the island was made of.

No good having a 4mm if the yarn was very thin because you would need to crochet an island out of the yarn so you wouldn't want too many holes or your new island would sink.

Hope the island of yarn is big enough for all of us or someone is going to get very wet.

Have fun.
