What kind of yarn is best used for size 3mm crochet hook?

A 3mm aluminum hook (in the U.S.) would probably be a C hook. (Hook sizes are not always the same when made by different manufacturers.) Fingering or sock yarn would be best suited to this size hook. That said, manufacturers generally note the suggested hook size on the label of the yarn. That is a suggested size only and you are free to choose a different size hook with which to work that yarn. Also, your pattern will likely tell you what size hook to use and the appropriate yarn for your project. If you are looking at steel hooks, you would have a size between a 1 and 0 hook which would be used for thread, probably size 5.

How many yards of yarn crochets 1 square foot?

It can vary greatly depending on your yarn tension and the size of the hook you are using. The more tension and the smaller the hook, the more yarn it will take. It also depends upon the type of yarn you are using. Thinner yarn (such as baby yarn or sport weight yarn) will require more yards to complete 1 square foot. Thicker yarn will require less yards to complete 1 square foot.

What size yarn is Unger cruise size 3 needles?

This question isn't very clear, as Unger Cruise is a Belgium made yarn, imported into the US (Unger yarns in New York). And yet, the question also mentions "size 3 [knitting] needles" which is a bit confusing without explanation as to why that is included A Cruise yarn skein is generally 1.4 ounces or 40 grams, 60% acrylic and 40% nylon. However, patterns found for this yarn generally use U.S. size 3 or size 4 needles and have a gauge of 19 stitches for 3 inches of knitting with 2 inches in height making 17 rows. Therefore, a size 3 knitting needle is perfectly fine to use with the Unger Cruise yarn.
