Yarn used to amigurumi

what type of yarn used to create amigurumi smaller, or rather that the number of thickness?

Downsize your yarn and your hook. Have a look on the internet - there are plenty of sites that compare yarn and let you know what yarns are the equivalent of discontinued yars. Some even have pictures of the width of the yarns so that you can measure the yarns that you might like to use against the originals. These sites are really helpful if you want to downsize or use a yarn in you stash.
then, of course, you have to swatch..............:(

use worsted yarn, its a #4 yarn which is medium BUT if you want a smaller amigurumi, use smaller needles.
