I am looking for a luxury small-size nickel crochet hook

[royalblues]

I'm on the hunt for a nickel-coated crochet hook, preferably in a small size like 1.00 mm for thread cotton work, whether ergonomic handle or not, it doesn't matter. I'm specifically looking for a handcrafted or luxury version, not mass-produced. Kinda like Furls vs. KnitPro, but for tiny hooks, any leads or suggestions would be great

That's a hunt for a real unicorn you're on. A handcrafted nickel hook in that tiny size is a rare bird.

Most high end artisans focus on larger hooks for yarn but I would suggest looking at the Tulip Etimo steel hook line from Japan for a premium experience with thread. Have you considered commissioning a custom handle from an artist on a site like Etsy?

When you get down around 1.0 mm you're usually in steel or nickel plated territory from more utilitarian makers

Wow, thanks! Tulip Etimo sounds promising, and commissioning a custom handle is a clever idea. I might just combine both for the ultimate tiny, luxurious crochet hook experience

Yeah, that makes sense, at that size, most options are utilitarian steel or nickel-plated. Finding a handcrafted, luxury version is basically chasing a unicorn, but still worth exploring for thread work
