Glimakra Stainless Steel Reeds are expertly crafted in Sweden to provide precise warp spacing, even weft beating, and long-lasting performance. Made from rustproof stainless steel, these reeds maintain consistent tension, ensuring professional-quality results for all your weaving projects. Whether you're working with fine silk, dense wool, or textured yarns, these reeds help create clean, uniform fabric with ease. 

Why Choose Glimakra Stainless Steel Reeds?

  • Rustproof & Long-Lasting – Made from high-quality stainless steel to prevent corrosion and ensure years of reliable use.
  • Even Warp & Weft Control – Keeps warp threads perfectly aligned, allowing for precise fabric construction.
  • Flexible & Easy to Sley – Crafted with thinner steel than American reeds, making sleying smoother and reducing the risk of breakage.
  • Lightweight & Easy to Handle – Minimizes hand fatigue and makes the threading process effortless.
  • Traditional Swedish Craftsmanship – Features stainless steel cord wrappings on a wooden spine for enhanced stability.

How to Choose the Right Reed

Select the Correct Weaving Width:

  • Measure the inside of your loom’s beater to ensure the best fit.
  • These reeds are measured by weaving width, meaning the width listed corresponds to the space between the inside edges of your beater. They are approximately 4.75" tall. If you need a different size, contact us to check availability.

Pick the Ideal Dent Size (DPI):

  • 5–10 DPI: Best for bulky & worsted-weight yarns (open, textured fabrics).
  • 10–15 DPI: Ideal for DK & sport-weight yarns (balanced weaves).
  • 16+ DPI: Perfect for fine lace & fingering yarns (intricate designs).

Caring for Your Reed

  • Storage: Keep long reeds horizontal to prevent bending.
  • Cleaning: Wipe new reeds with mineral spirits or isopropyl alcohol to remove factory oils.
  • Rust Prevention: If discoloration occurs, use WD-40 and a nylon scratch pad for maintenance.
  • Edge Protection: Reinforce with heavy-duty tape if the original covering wears off.

With proper care, your Glimakra Stainless Steel Reed will remain an essential tool for precise, high-quality weaving for years to come.
