Another grandma-esque crochet post. All of my craft supplies are currently being shipped to me since i moved; so i went to my grandma asking if she had any crochet things i could use
ive been going through withdrawals.
She gives me this
Ive never used such tiny thread or hooks, but i need to busy my hands so im trying it!
Progress so far-

That would be such a cool project 
This has given me a huge appreciation for doily work! Its not too bad tbh as long as you know the stitches, the biggest challenge is just the size.

I /think/ its a 1.5 mm. This pattern called for a size 8 and i was lucky enough to find one already here. Im not familiar with the smaller sizes at all

I found this if its helpful at all
im sure you could do it! If the one your after making is super intricate you could start out small. Im sure theres beginner patterns for this type stuff somewhere!

after looking at it, the doily seems to be all chains and double crochet, but i really appreciate the chart! I’ll definitely save that for future use

Beautiful work! I use a 0.4mm hook for my micro-crochet, so I know all about the size learning curve lol
1.5mm is tiny, but a great start for people learning either lace work or micro-crochet.

Thank you! 0.4 is insane
that sounds so tiny.
Id love to get into it more! Im glad she had the old kit laying around opened up new possibilities of other things to make.

Id love to know how it turns into a tree! I love this size. I think im using this same yarn with a 1.25mm hook. Looks like scheepjes sugar rush or rico essential thread. Ive never used it fir any other than mini amigurumi though. I just finished medusa in green :)
