Ergonomic Resin-Dipped Aluminum Crochet Hooks - 6pc In-Line Set
Please sign in so that we can notify you about a reply
A set of 6 Susan Bates, In-Line-style, anodized aluminum crochet hooks in an assortment of colors. The handles are dipped in layers of UV resin and water-marbled to give a colorful, comfortable, ergonomic grip. The UV resin gives a gorgeous, glass-like effect that is scratch-resistant and comfortable to hold.
The hooks themselves are 5.5” long, but after the resin-dipping they will come out to approximately 5.75" long.
Teardrop Handles: The resin handles flare from the narrow "pinch" to the bottom; the approximate diameter at the end of the handles is 10mm regardless of the size of the hook.
Candleflame Handles: The resin handles flare out from the "pinch" to approximately 15mm thick at the middle of the handles, then taper back down to roughly 4-6mm at the base of the handle.
Sizes in this set:
3.75mm
4.0mm
5.0mm
5.5mm
6.0mm
6.5mm
This listing is for a set of 6 Susan Bates, In-Line-style hooks.

I dip the handles of the hooks in layers of UV resin, being careful not to cover the "pinch" where the size of the hook is stamped, flash-curing between each layer. It can take anywhere from 5 to 20 layers to build up the shape and size, depending on the size of the hook. Once I have the thickest part of the handles built up to about 12-15mm in diameter I fully-cure the UV resin. Next I sand the resin into shape then water-marble some rainbow swirls over the resin handles and let them dry. Finally, I brush a layer or two of UV resin over the handles to seal the marble swirl and give a lovely, glass-like shine.
Art classes in grade school are where I always shined- I even stayed after school to work further on my projects. I majored in Integrated Studio Arts at Iowa State University, where I learned a lot about myself as well as art theory. After many years doing the 9-5 thing, I finally decided to start up my own business January 2020 (good timing, eh?).
I have dabbled in many mediums over the years. I learned sewing and cross stitching from my mother and woodworking from my father. I discovered on my own the joys of knitting, crochet, drawing, painting, sculpting, origami, calligraphy, airbrushing, even nail art. My focus currently is on mold-making and casting and resin art. I love the problem-solving and out-of-the-box thinking required when creating something new.
My very first "studio" was my parent's living room. I would set up shop on the coffee table and do the projects in the back of Highlights Magazines. Today, the spare bedroom in the home I share with my husband and 2 cats is my Studio. It is my haven, my safe space, my place to play and create.
