3 mm Cross Stitch Paper — Letter
Use 3 mm squares when you want a detailed chart that is still comfortable to read by eye. The cells are large enough to ink a clear symbol or color in each, yet small enough that a sizeable design keeps to a manageable sheet. The bold tenth line splits the field into 10-by-10 blocks, the standard unit for counting threads on Aida or evenweave.
