crochet thread question?

I am looking for a crochet thread that is a little bit thicker than the thread labeled size 10. How is crochet thread labeled. Is the size 5 thicker or thinner than size 10. What sizes are there?

1. The smaller the number, the thicker the thread. Coats and Clark thread carries 3, 5, 10, 20 & 30 - the link below offers more detailed descriptions of those sizes and what they are best suited for.
2. http://herrschner.com/ This company carries crochet thread. Check under yarn/knit/crochet. Hope you find what you are looking for.
3. The higher the thread number the thinner the thread.
