VARIABLE DENT REEDS

For Cricket and Flip Looms

Create fabric with dierent densities in the sett, or

accommodate thick and thin yarns.

NOTES

■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" narrower than a regular reed of similar

width.

■To weave at full width, you may need to remove

the plastic spacers from the frame posts prior to re-

assembly.

■Reed sections do not need to completely ll all of

the available space in the reed frame. To weave at

less than full width, secure reed sections with heddle

retainer rings.

ASSEMBLY

1. Disassemble the entire reed frame and place

the reed frame bottom in the loom’s up heddle

position with the slot facing up.

2. Insert the reed sections in your desired order,

with the open edge of one section meeting the

at edge of the next section and that the reed

sections are centered in the reed frame.

3. Place the reed frame top over the reed

sections with the slot facing down.

4. For weaving at less than full width, secure the

reed sections with heddle retainer rings: slide a

ring onto both the top and bottom frames until

they rest against the outermost reed sections,

holding the sections in place.

5. Re-assemble end posts: insert a 1" screw

through the frame bottom, a plastic spacer, and

the metal rod. Then insert the knob through the

reed frame top, a plastic spacer, and into the metal

rod. Tighten the knob on the frame top; you may

need to hold the screw in place with a screwdriver

or your nger.
