16″ Stainless Steel Reed (16 DPI) | For 41cm Table Looms

High-Precision Weaving for Fine Textiles: The 16 DPI Stainless Steel Reed

When your creative vision demands intricate patterns and a delicate touch, the 41cm (16″) Stainless Steel Reed in 16 DPI (16 dents per inch) is your essential instrument. Specifically engineered for 16-inch table looms, this reed allows for the high thread density required to produce sophisticated, professional-grade fabrics.

At 16 DPI (approx. 64/10cm), this tool is optimized for lace-weight yarns, fine silks, and 2-ply cottons. It provides the tight spacing necessary to create a firm, yet elegant cloth with a luxurious drape—perfect for lightweight scarves, heirloom linens, and complex structure samples.

Why the 16 DPI Stainless Steel Reed is a Master’s Choice:

• Precision for Fine Fibers: The 16-dent configuration prevents “tracking” in fine yarns, ensuring your fabric has a consistent, uniform surface.

• Rust-Proof Stainless Steel: Eliminate the risk of rust stains on your most precious white or pastel fibers. This reed is completely resistant to corrosion, making it a lifetime investment for your studio.

• Low-Friction Polish: Each dent is meticulously polished to ensure that thin, delicate warp threads glide through without fraying or pilling, even during high-tension weaving.

• Stable Beating: Despite the fine spacing, the stainless steel frame is incredibly rigid, maintaining a perfectly straight line for a level, even beat across the entire 41cm width.

• The Sampler’s Essential: For weavers using the 16-inch loom for technical sampling, the 16 DPI reed is vital for exploring high-sett twills and complex lace structures.

Achieve Excellence in Every Inch Don’t let a standard reed limit your technical ability. With the 16 DPI Stainless Steel Reed, you have the precision and durability needed to bring your most detailed weaving projects to life with the Gulf Looms seal of quality.
