Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy crochet hooks online in Australia?
You can buy individual crochet hooks, long tunisian needles, and complete hook sets online at The Wool Room. We dispatch orders daily across Australia with express shipping options and offer local pickup at our store in Young, NSW.
What size crochet hook do I need for 8 Ply yarn?
For standard Australian 8 Ply (DK) yarn, a 4.00mm or 4.50mm crochet hook is recommended for standard tension. If you prefer a firmer structure (such as for amigurumi), step down to a 3.50mm hook; for a looser drape, use a 5.00mm hook. Browse our full range of 8 Ply / Double Knit (DK) Yarns to pair with your hooks.
What are long crochet hooks used for?
Long crochet hooks (often called Tunisian or Afghan crochet hooks) are designed to hold an entire row of active loops at once. This technique creates a dense, woven-style fabric ideal for blankets, scarves, and winter garments.
