How to buy crochet hooks in bulk?

My family is traveling to South America. My sister is a very avid crocheter and wants to take a large number of hooks to give out to child panhandlers in lieu of money so that the children will be able to keep what they are given, and perhaps teach them a few basic stitches.





Does anyone know of a way to get large quantities of plastic crochet hooks for a reasonable price?

The children will not know what to do with the hooks. If you%26#039;re going to give them something, give them money so they can eat.
Reply:If they are panhandling they probably don%26#039;t have the money to buy yarn or the free time to sit around and teach themselves what to do with the hooks. If she wants to do something that%26#039;s not a complete waste of money then tell her to buy bulk granola or energy bars so they can eat.
Reply:Hi,


Have you considered putting up a flyer that would requests donations of crochet hooks for your cause at church or yarn shops in your area.


I remember seeing inexpensive hooks at Joann%26#039;s last year.


A web site that sell hooks is:


http://herrschners.com/ or http://yarnsale.com/


Good Luck, sounds like a great idea.:)
Reply:Go to micheals or joannes. They sell them in packs or seperae but they are very cheap. I suggest you buy them there and they have many walls of yarn and books too so check that out. Good luck!
Reply:This site has them for $1.20 each. Not sure if that is low enough for you but here ya go.

Found another site that has them as low as $0.79. I think that is about as low as your gonna get.
