Schacht Variable Dent Reeds

Mix and match dents in one reed. This reed allows you to warp with yarns of different weights and at different widths. Get creative with your masterpieces and let your imagination take flight. These are perfect for the adventurous weaver and anyone using a variety of weights in their project.

One frame plus a full set of sections in 5, 8, 10 and 12 dent, so a single reed covers the range you would otherwise buy as four separate fixed reeds. The sections also mix inside one warp, which no stack of fixed reeds can do. Sley a bulky stripe next to a fingering ground and weave them in the same cloth.

Each section is 2-3/8 Inch in width, and you can mix and match these sections to create your own custom reed.

Notes from Schacht

• It is easiest to set up the variable dent reed at your loom.
• The weaving width of the variable dent reed is about 1/4 Inch narrower than a regular reed of similar width.
• Reed sections do not need to completely fill all of the available space in the reed frame. To weave at less than full width, secure reed sections with heddle retainer rings.
• To weave at full width, you may need to remove the plastic spacers from the frame posts prior to re-assembly.
