After years of designing patterns, filming tutorials, and running a crochet business, Iโve tested a lot of crochet supplies. Some were amazing, someโฆ not so much.
So instead of listing everything under the sun, Iโm sharing the tools I reach for again and againโthe ones that make crocheting smoother, faster, and honestly just more enjoyable.
If youโve ever wondered whatโs actually worth buying, this is it.
The crochet supplies I use most are ergonomic resin hooks for comfortable stitching, Coboo yarn for soft garments, Cascade Fixation for swimwear, Alize Diva for lightweight projects, a divided project bag for organization, and a crochet journal for tracking every detail.
If you purchase through links in this post, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. I only recommend tools I genuinely use and love in my own crochet business.
