Cotton Threads that very fine are prefered in micro crochet, easy to handle and gives a good grip.
Embroidery thread is put in use by many for making tiny flowers.
Few prefer the fine silk threads that are used for sewing.
One should keep in mind “finner the thread the better is the output”.

Prefered hook size is less than 1.0mm, the smaller the hook size the finer the stitch. Steel hooks with rubber cover give better finishing along with a good grip.
