Kromski 16″ (40 cm) Rigid Heddle | Replacement Reed for Harp Forte & Presto
د.إ178.48
Define the soul of your textile with the Kromski 16″ (40 cm) Heddle. Engineered to fit the 16-inch Harp Forte and Presto looms, these rigid heddles are crafted from Premium European Alder rails and high-durability, laser-polished polymers. Available in a full range of densities from 5 to 15 DPI, they allow you to perfectly match your loom’s ‘sett’ to any yarn—from chunky art-spun wools to delicate lace-weight silks—ensuring a clean shed and a professional, consistent beat every time.
The Architecture of Drape
In 2026, we understand that the right heddle is the difference between a stiff rug and a flowing scarf. The 16″ Kromski Heddle is designed to provide the maximum possible “shed” (the opening for your shuttle) within the frame of your loom. By choosing the correct DPI, you ensure that your warp threads have just enough space to move freely without excessive friction, preserving the integrity of luxury fibers like alpaca and mohair.
Artisan Wood Meets Modern Polymer
Kromski is unique in its use of Hand-Finished European Alder for the heddle rails. This provides a natural weight and rigidity that all-plastic heddles lack, allowing for a firmer, more square “beat.” The interior polymer segments are non-abrasive and anti-static, preventing the “fuzzing” or pilling of warp threads during long weaving sessions.
A Density for Every Vision
The 16-inch width is the most popular “versatility size” for weavers. Having a library of different DPI heddles allows you to expand your repertoire:
-
5 & 8 DPI: The “workhorses” for worsted yarns, thick winter scarves, and blankets.
-
10 & 12 DPI: The choice for “boutique” accessories, using DK or sock-weight yarns for a refined drape.
-
15 DPI: The 2026 standard for fine linens and intricate lace-weight projects.
