These cushions are great for my crochet hooks. I have severe Rheumatoid Disease (RA) in my hands and the metal crochet hooks make my hands hurt after a few minutes. These cushions are just right. You need to use a little dish soap to get them on. My husband had to put them on for me. The only drawback is there are only two in a package, so if you have a lot of hooks (like I do), it would cost a fortune to cover them. I used these until my Ergonomic Hooks arrived.
