Info/resources on a possibly antique yarn crafts tool? Probably crochet.?
A while ago I received an unusual hook-type crafting tool. I've been crocheting since I was 8, and knitting for many years as well, but I've never seen anything like this. The tool is made of wood, about 18" long, and has a hook on each end. It's roughly 1/2" in diameter. There was an unfinished piece on this tool when I first got it. The piece, done in a heavy gauge yarn, appeared to be worked directly onto the tool vs. with the tool, as in regular crocheting. I love antique style crafting, such as hairpin lace. I wouldn't be surprised if this double-hooked tool is also from the domestic arts skills of days gone by. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to put this tool to good use. Thanks in advance.
Thanks to both people who answered. Investigation based upon your assistance revealed that this double-ended hook is also used in Tunisian style crochet, much like Afghan.
You have a double ended crochet. It is a little like using an afghan hook. It is also called crohooking.
There are tons of patterns for your hook out there. As a matter of fact, I made a baby blanket from an "I" double ended crochet hook and it was fun to make.
Here are some sites.
Hope this helps.
