Hi Maria:
Your sizing for needles is clearly by Metric & ours is U.S. sizing there is
also Canadian/U.K. sizing to make things all the more confusing. I'm
posting a link below that will give a chart for the needle conversions &
their equivalents the colums/rows are presented as Metric Sizes (mm),
U.S. sizes, & then UK/Canadian. In some cases of MM sizes I think there are
no U.S. equivalent, but you can look it up on the listing at:
http://www.yarnforward.com/needleconv.html
I think your size 4.0MM is our U.S. size 6. You might want to copy and
paste the chart into a file so you can look sizes up or at least file away
the link to the web site.
HTH.
Eileen
