9CT: 9 squares per inch, with larger squares; suitable for beginners or projects that need to be completed quickly.

11CT: 11 squares per inch, one of the most common counts, with medium-sized squares; suitable for most cross-stitch projects.

14CT: 14 squares per inch, another very common count, with smaller squares than 11CT; suitable for most projects with a moderate level of detail.

16CT: 16 squares per inch, finer than 14CT, allowing for even more detailed designs.

18CT: 18 squares per inch, very fine and suitable for high-quality, highly detailed designs.
