This week our tip of the week is a super simple one but one most of us don’t even think about doing! Wash your crochet hook!

It is important to gently wash your hooks in warm soapy water from time-to-time. Excess oils from your fingers (and from different things you touch) can build up on your hook. If your yarn isn’t gliding smoothly anymore, it is time to wash your hook!
