Schacht Variable Dent Reed for Cricket and Flip Rigid Heddle Looms
Variable dent reeds allow you to mix and match dents in your Flip or Cricket loom.
An assortment of rigid heddle reed sections in a variety of dents can be inserted into the special rigid heddle frame for different setts in the same reed.
The Variable Reed is a great tool for creating different densities in a fabric as well as using thick and thin yarns in the warp. You’ll think of lots of other uses as well.
Each reed comes with a range of reed sizes in approximately 2 1/2" sections and you can mix and match the reed sizes to great textured cloth.
Note: The weaving width of the variable dent reed is about 1/4" narrower than a regular reed.
