REVIEW
ChiaoGoo T-SPIN Tunisian Interchangeable SetI have become a fan of Tunisian crochet. When I first tried
Tunisian crochet, tools were limited and stiff curling afghans
were the norm. Well, Tunisian crochet has come a long way and
we have featured quite a few beautiful designs on the pages of
Crochet World over the last few years! And the simple Tunisian
hook has been reincarnated to make crocheting your next
project a breeze. I recently fell in love with ChiaoGoo’s T-SPIN
Tunisian Interchangeable Set. The super smooth, in-line
bamboo hooks have stainless joins and flexible cables that will
not snag your work. Stored compactly in a pretty fabric case,
you’ll find 11 Tunisian hooks sized E/4/3.5mm–N/15/10mm and four flexible cables in lengths
8–22 inches, along with four stopper ends, adaptors, connectors and a needle gauge. This one
set will keep you crocheting happily on many a Tunisian project for years to come!

As crocheters, when it comes to yarn, we’ve seen and tried it
all. So, when something new comes along, we perk up with our
crochet hooks at the ready! Caron recently partnered with
Pantone to create an exciting curated collection of 20 color
palettes based on Pantone colors inspired by gorgeous photos
of nature and familiar subjects. Pantone is best known for its
system of color identification, which is used widely in the print and textile
industries and is the go-to source for designers and decorators. The soft
acrylic/wool bulky-weight yarn comes in braids of five colors designed to
work beautifully together in projects from hats to garments. With color
palettes such as frozen berry, peacock blue, spicy blooms and strawberry
chill, you’ll have a hard time deciding which color range to try first.
