Why not add some variety to your next project and choose from a selection of dpi's - with a 2.5dpi for chunky novelty yarn through to 15dpi for super fine yarn. With the built in double heddle kit you can always double the fun by choosing two of the same dpi reeds. All our Ashford Looms come with a 7.5dpi Reed.
Made from strong, durable nylon with Silver Beech rails in a natural timber finish.
The reeds come in 20, 25, 40, 60, 80 and 120**cm widths.
**PLEASE NOTE THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL LONG ITEM SURCHARGE OF $18 APPLIED TO THE 120cm length REEDS DUE TO THE SIZE AND POSTAGE RESTRICTIONS
Hi Jenny, Can you please advise on what is the best size (dpi) reed to use with 5/2 weight cotton for making cotton tea towels? Thanks.
Thank you for your question
You will be looking at either the 12.5dpi or 15 dpi dependant on the finish you are looking for. Note the bigger the DPI the tighter your yarn is going to be.
Please see below a useful guide to help users decide on which dpi is right for them.
2.5dpi (10/10) - recommended for 14 ply, fleece rub, fabric weaving, art yarns
5dpi (20/10) - recommended for 12 ply, fleece rug, fabric weaving, thick yarns
7.5dpi (30/10) - recommended for 8ply, double knit, novelty yarns most projects
10dpi (40/10) - recommended for 4ply yarn
12.5dpi (50/10) - recommended for fine 2plys, cottons, silk etc.
15dpi (60/10) - recommended for fine 2plys, cotton, silk etc.
Hope you find this information useful.
Kind regards
Aunt Jenny
