    Exclamation Dee, question in regards to hook sizes

    Dee, I made the yo-yo has you know and I love it. But I'll be making a million I think if I keep using the same hook I have. Now I only have 3 hooks and need to purchase some more next time I'm in the city.

    Can you tell me what size hook I would need to make it larger. What "letter" do I need on my hook and do I go up or down on the number?

    I can't purchase a whole pile of them right now to try. My yo-yo is about 2 inches and I used a G7 to make it.

    I think that is about how big it should be, but I agree with you, that is a LOT of yo-yo's you need to make.

    You go up the alphabet to get a bigger size, for instance a size J hook is bigger than a G.

    Check out my new post CJ, if you win you may not need to purchase any new needles just yet!
