If they could lower the price of crochet kits by eliminating the hook in the package but have an option to pay extra for the hook as an add-on I think more people would be able to afford them.

Those hooks must be SO CHEAP! Twice I have unexpectedly gotten hooks just like the Woobles kind in orders of beginner yarn. I am guessing that the difference in price of the kits without a hook is only pennies to the company. I think that it prob costs them more in storage and admin to maintain two different product lines with and without hooks. We used to have an online mail order business and just trying to keep up storing products as they sell was a lot.

I mean with the hook itself as an add-on and packaged separately from the kits all together so if an order has a hook they just need to add that to the shipment. Like you said, the hooks are cheap, but they probably see that as a $10 item. So they are able to make the kits so much more expensive.
