| Best for | Reading current or vintage crochet-hook sizes without using an unsupported universal UK or Canadian conversion or assigning one hook from yarn category alone | Sourcing swatches and low-MOQ fabric options |
| Know before using | The record does not inspect a physical hook, establish a universal UK or Canadian crosswalk, select a hook, rank handle or material ergonomics, approve a gauge or fabric, diagnose pain, or replace the pattern publisher, tool and yarn makers, qualified instruction, or healthcare and accessibility support. | SwatchOn's supplier status, counts, and trust language describe its own marketplace and can change. They do not independently establish fibre identity, performance, certification validity, mill ownership, production capacity, colour continuity, delivery, duty, or commercial fit. Review samples, test data, current certificates, the contracting entity, order terms, and landed logistics before purchase. |

| What the source establishes | The guide cites the current Craft Yarn Council regular-hook, steel-hook, yarn-weight, and FAQ guidance; it follows the Council's metric-first and company-variation boundaries and requires source-specific interpretation plus a project specimen for regional or vintage notation. | SwatchOn's current marketplace page exposes fabrics, trims, and prints, with swatch samples, in-stock catalogue colours, low-order-quantity options, and global logistics support. The page publishes operator-supplied marketplace and supplier counts and labels participating suppliers as verified partners. |
