The crochet hook measures 230 mm (approximately 9 inches) in length.

Troubleshooting
Yarn snagging on the hook
Ensure the hook's lacquered finish is intact. If there are rough spots, try a gentle buffing with a fine-grit sandpaper or contact customer support. Ensure you are using yarns compatible with the hook size.
Hook feels uncomfortable during long sessions
Take regular breaks to rest your hands. Ensure you are holding the hook loosely to avoid strain. Practice different grip techniques to find what is most comfortable for you.
Wood finish appears dull
Gently wipe the hook with a clean, dry cloth. For a slight sheen, a tiny amount of food-grade mineral oil can be applied and buffed off, but avoid excessive oiling.
