Most of the replies have answered you question regarding hook size for
threads.
I've crocheted everything from mohair through all the different wool
types, silks, synthetics and all types of cotton.
The specifically produced crochet cotton gives the best results, as well
as the tatting threads.
All types of cotton should work well but I must admit that I have only
gone no finer than the 100 Coates Mercer crocheting cotton.
I feel that linen may be a bit too stiff to work well.
Silk is great!!!!!!!!!!! but only for shawls a and soft draping things
I have not tried the metallics as yet.
