These reeds are manufactured by family-run Leclerc looms. The stainless-steel construction of the reeds makes sure these last and do not rust. The stainless-steel weaving reeds are available in ranges from 4 to 25 dents per inch and in lengths from 9 1/2" (24 cm) to 120" (305 cm). They measure 4" (10.15 cm) on the inside and 5 1/4" (13.34 cm) to the outside.
Please contact us to order to ensure we know what DPI you would like. (note - a surcharge will apply for 16, 18 20 & 25 DPI which will be invoiced separately)
If the Leclerc item you want is on backorder, please be advised that there is a wait time of approximately 4 weeks before it gets shipped. Please note that this is a general estimate, and unexpected production and delivery delays can occur.
Are Leclerc stainless steel reeds compatible with non-Leclerc looms?
Leclerc reeds may fit looms from other manufacturers, but compatibility isn't guaranteed. It's essential to verify the dimensions of your loom's beater to ensure a proper fit.
How do I determine the appropriate dent size for my project?
The dent size, or dents per inch (DPI), determines the spacing of warp threads. Common sizes include 6, 8, 10, 12, and 15 DPI. Choose a dent size that matches your desired ends per inch (EPI) for the fabric or that can achieve the sett you desire by altering your threading. For example, threading 2,2,3 in a 10 DPI reed gives 23 DPI, or 3,3,3 gives 30 DPI.
Can I use a reed that's wider than my loom's weaving width?
Yes, you can use a wider reed in a narrower loom if the beater's ends are open. The reed will overhang the sides, but it will function properly.
How should I clean and maintain my stainless steel reed?
While stainless steel reeds resist rust, it's good practice to occasionally wipe them with a soft cloth to remove dust and debris. If discoloration or minor rust appears, spraying with WD-40 and wiping with a nylon scratch pad along the teeth can help. Ensure no rough spots remain that could damage warp threads.
What is the significance of "dents per inch" in a reed?
Dents per inch (DPI) refers to the number of spaces (dents) in one inch of the reed. It determines the spacing of warp threads and affects the density of the woven fabric.
How do I store my reeds to prevent damage?
Store long reeds horizontally to keep them straight and prevent bending. Shorter reeds can be stored vertically. Using a reed holder with compartments can help organize and protect them.
Can I use different yarn sizes with the same reed?
Yes, you can adjust the number of threads per dent to accommodate different yarn sizes. For example, placing multiple finer threads in a single dent or skipping dents for thicker yarns can achieve the desired sett.
How do I measure my loom to ensure I order the correct reed size?
You can determine your weaving width by measuring the inside of your harness.
What should I do if my reed develops rust?
For minor rust, spray the reed with WD-40 and wipe along (not across) the teeth with a nylon scratch pad. Ensure all residue is removed to prevent damage to warp threads. If rust is extensive, it might be best to replace the reed.
