The size 16 that I got off of ebay is a Lacis brand and it is a 0.4mm. It is tiny tiny and it works a dream. I have used it a ton in the week I have had it. :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

Wonderful tip. I was going to get rid of my small crochet hook but now I will be keeping it.

I found an 11??? I dont know it looma small enoigh so i will try it the ones that I saw that said 14 were huge lol....the lady said that ita he one people use for lace/tatting I can barely see the hook..its a steel one. if this works and i can figure out the proper way to order the correct.size without seeing them i would like to order one of the wood handle ones so it will be harder to loose. Looks like i will have a new tool for my stithy kits

The hook that I took a picture of in the original post it a size 11. It worked pretty good but did not go under the stitches on the back very easy. I like the 16 better for that.
