What is US size 3 crochet cotton in UK terms i.e.DK?

Question

what size UK cotton would I buy to match with US size 3 crochet cotton, thanks

Answer 1

the best way is to check the label for the gauge details.  Then try to find a yarn with the same gauge or as close to it as possible.

Answer 2

I found this chart, but it does not look like there is a hard and fast equivalent.

Answer 3

Do you have 30 weight cotton thread?  That's the same size, also 3/2 weaving or perle cotton is the same size.
