From yarn to thread

[Tampa Doll]

I think I may have asked this before, so bare with me.

 

I want to make something that uses sports weight yarn.  Now what size thread can I use?  Is it size 5 or  size 3?

 

This really confuses me and I wish I cold find a conversion chart.

 

I hope you can help me.

That would have been my guess, too.

I couldn't get this site to open--has it been taken off?
