I use crochet thread number three, and double it when tying. I do not like to tye with yarn, it gets funny when the quilt is washed. have used embroidery cotton also, but still like the crochet thread the best.... always use a surgeon square knot. looks nice, and lasts very well.
google surgeon square knot and there are instructions.

I just completed my first tied quilt (after many years of maching quilting them) and used Pearl cotton. It worked great. As a matter of fact, I'm in the process of making another tied quilt since I liked the first one so much! Good luck!
