Chiaogoo crochet hooks are so nice and light in the hand, made fully out of a smooth bamboo.
These larger bamboo hooks are great for beginner crocheters, as you'll be able to really see what you're doing and get a good feel of the techniques. They have a nice taper at the tip so that you can easily glide your hook through your yarn.
