Default cable sleeving

I was looking at TLC's 3mm brown sleeving; the description says it is
suitable for 1.0mm and 1.5mm cables. I presume this is shorthand for
1.0mm^2 and 1.5mm^2 cable?


However, I wonder whether it is only suitable for *bare* 1.5mm^2
cable? I have just tried some 3mm earth sleeving and it will not fit
over the insulation.


What size do I need instead?


4mm will do for 1 and 1.5mm insulated.
