GAV Stainless Steel Reeds
-- We can cut reeds to any length --
If you are interested in Swedish stainless reeds, I have them available. Common sizes for rug weaving, thick warp threads or novelty warp threads are 8 and 10 dents per inch. If possible, it is nice to order more than one reed for your loom. For finer weaving, 12 and 15 per inch are useful. If you are interested in finer reeds for weaving very fine fabrics, 18 and 20 dents per inch are available. We stock lengths up to 250 cm (96 inch) and we can cut reeds to any length you need up to that size. These reeds are very well made, stainless steel and are 4 and 5 inches high. We stock 5, 6,8,10,12,15,18,20, 22.5 and 25 dent reeds, any length up to 250 cm.

The difference between the two types of countermarch can be diagrammatically viewed by clicking on the countermarch info button on the left. There is additional information in the drawloom FAQ.
