32″ Stainless Steel Reed (6 DPI) | For 80cm Table Looms

Bold Texture on a Grand Scale: The 6 DPI Stainless Steel Reed

Think big and weave bold. Our 80cm (32″) Stainless Steel Reed in 6 DPI (6 dents per inch) is the specialized tool you need to handle the thickest yarns on your largest table loom. If you’ve ever struggled to pull chunky hand-spun or “super bulky” wool through a standard reed, this is your solution.

At 6 DPI (approx. 24/10cm), the extra-wide dents provide the “breathing room” necessary for high-loft fibers to pass through without catching, fraying, or pilling. It is the professional’s choice for creating cozy, oversized throws, heavy-duty floor rugs, or architectural textile art that showcases the raw beauty of the fiber.

Why the 6 DPI Stainless Steel Reed is a Creative Powerhouse:

• Optimized for Bulky Fibers: Specifically engineered to accommodate thick wools, fabric strips for rag weaving, and textured art yarns that would “choke” in a finer reed.

• Rust-Proof & Snag-Free: Crafted from premium stainless steel, this reed is immune to rust. Your tool stays pristine for a lifetime, protecting your most expensive art yarns from staining.

• Frictionless “Smooth-Glide” Dents: Each wide opening is precision-polished to a mirror finish. This is essential when using “sticky” fibers like mohair or unspun roving, ensuring your shed opens cleanly every time.

• Powerful, Even Beat: The rigid stainless steel frame provides the weight and stability needed for a firm beat across the full 32-inch width—crucial for packing down thick weft threads in rugs and heavy blankets.

• Architectural Open Weaves: Use it with thinner yarns to create stunning, airy “lace” effects and modern, transparent window treatments.

Expand Your Creative Horizon Don’t let a narrow reed limit your texture. With the 6 DPI Stainless Steel Reed, you have the wide-gauge capacity and professional durability to bring your most tactile, large-scale visions to life with Gulf Looms.
