The reason the size 7 is 1.65mm is this is a size 7 "steel crochet hook".. vintage patterns for lace and crochet thread refer to steel hooks that have a very different sizing altogether.
Thank you I just came across your page and I've been looking for someone to tell me how to understand the needles I inherit these about 30 to 40 needles from my mother and I'm learning how to do earrings thank you so much I just did your teardrop earrings
So I am using a 0.5mm hook and embroidery floss that I split the skein in half (so 3 strands instead of 6, but I've done that too with a 0.6mmm hook). I have also used sewing thread to crochet some things and would really like to know if there are any brands that have a more durable equivilent of these or if I just need to stick to them.
Great question. I don't know of other brands off the top of my head. You can Google some or go to a hobby store and see the various types. It's not always easy to crochet with floss/thread, so another avenue is search for customer reviews. See whst other people are using. I hope this helps
I have smallest size thread like the yellow pink n violet in ur video (small 4 balls)so what size needle should i use for it and can it be used for crocheting hair accessories
You can use small hooks like a B or C. I also use a 1.7MM hook. If you want to go smaller, it may be wise to get a magnifying glass! After a while, it can strain your eyes. Hope this helps.
Hello Elly! Anything less than 2.00mm hook would be fine when you are working with size 8 thread. The smaller/thinner the thread, the smaller the hook size (less than 1.00mm). When I work with tatting thread, it helps to use good lighting and reading glasses!
Hello! There are floss and thin threads you can buy for smaller projects if you are making something like earrings for example. In the description box below the video, I have shared links to the different threads and floss I use like embroidery floss, crochet thread, tatting thread, etc. That will direct you to the thread and you will see the different descriptions and sizes for each. I hope this helps.
If you are still interested after all this time the channel Red Heart Yarns has a video 'Crochet Thread Basics with Aunt Lydia's' that is helpful. The largest ball in this video is a size 10 (Aunt Lydia's brand). The small balls in this video with the number 8 on them are the equivalent of size 20 in Aunt Lydia's . The small balls with the number 12 on them are the equivalent of size 30 in Aunt Lydia's. The embroidery floss thickness depends on how many strand you are using. If you are still just starting out use a size 20 or 30. True thread crochet uses an extremely fine thread size of 50 or 60 and a .5mm hook.
Oh thank you. Finally. Someone did it. ❤️
You are very welcome!

Hello, what size hook do you use for thread 20?
Thank you for your question. I use tiny hooks. The one I use most is a US 5 / 1.7 mm hook. It works well with thread and floss. I hope this helps!
