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.

What size would a milliliter crochet hook be?
Crochet hooks come in various sizes. To figure out a project that you might want to crochet, find the project, see what size yarn is needed, and then check with the pattern, and see what the pattern requires for a hook size.As a general rule "steel" hooks are used for thread-weight "yarn" and those hooks run from 0.6 mm to around 3.0mm. You know that you have a "steel" hook, because it has a number on it, in addition to a size given in mm. 'Steel' hooks run from size 14 (0.6mm) to 00 (double zero, and 3.0mm)Then the "aluminum" hooks run from around 2.0mm all the way up to 16.0mm or larger. An aluminum hook can be easily identified because there is a letter on the hook, along with the mm sizing. So, 'aluminum' hooks run from B (2.25mm) to S (19.0mm). I guess there could be an "A" size, but it would be around the same as a size Zero or Double Zero in 'steel' hooks.
