16″ Stainless Steel Reed (6 DPI) | For 41cm Table Looms

Bold Textures and Effortless Weaving: The 6 DPI Stainless Steel Reed

Give your chunky yarns the space they need to shine. The 41cm (16″) Stainless Steel Reed in 6 DPI (6 dents per inch) is the ultimate tool for weavers who love working with bulky fibers, hand-spun art yarns, and high-texture designs. Designed to fit 16-inch table looms, this reed turns what used to be a struggle with thick yarn into a smooth, rhythmic joy.

At 6 DPI (approx. 24/10cm), the wide spacing prevents “choking” or pilling of fuzzy wools and thick fibers. It is the perfect choice for creating cozy winter scarves, heavy-duty mats, or open, airy “lace” patterns using thinner threads in a skipped-dent style.

Why the 6 DPI Stainless Steel Reed is a Must-Have:

• Designed for Heavy Gauges: Effortlessly accommodates “Bulky” and “Super Bulky” yarns, allowing the unique character of hand-spun fibers to pass through the reed without damage.

• Rust-Proof for Life: Crafted from premium stainless steel, this reed will never rust or corrode. It’s a permanent upgrade for your studio that keeps your lightest-colored fibers safe from staining.

• Ultra-Smooth Dents: Every wide opening is precision-polished, ensuring that even the “stickiest” mohair or textured art yarns glide through with zero friction.

• Versatile Creative Tool: Use it for standard thick weaving, or experiment with “crammed and spaced” techniques to create modern, architectural textile art.

• Strong & Level Beat: The rigid stainless steel frame provides a powerful, even beat across the entire 41cm width, essential for maintaining the structure of heavier fabrics.
