Refined Rustic Crochet Hooks are beautifully curated by nature. The natural tones of the wood have been sanded and buffed to full shine. Most pieces have bark elements left on, or grain spalting revealed, but the entire hook has been carved and sanded smooth. All refined rustics are sealed with a glossy heirloom quality polyurethane finish. If you are looking for crochet hooks with a more raw and barky handle, you want Barky Handled Crochet Hooks.
