There are at least 3 common ways to denote a hook size – a metric millimetre sizing, a US letter (sometimes a number) or a UK number are the most common. That’s before we look at Japanese sizes, lace weight hooks and aluminium vs steel hooks too. You use a bigger number hook with a bigger number thread.
