Kromski Weaver's Choice Heddle Reed

A brilliant, cleverly designed product from Kromski for rigid heddle weavers who like to break the rules a bit. The Weaver’s Choice Heddle Reed lets you click together different dent sizes (slot/hole sizes) to build your own custom reed – so you can weave super fine yarns right next to super chunky ones in any arrangement you dream up.

Instead of being limited to one fixed dent size across the whole reed, you build your own combination from separate sections. Perfect for art weaving, stash-busting, mixed yarn fabrics and highly textured pieces.

What Makes Weaver’s Choice So Special?

• Modular, click-together design
  Each dent size comes as separate pieces that you slot into the wooden frame. Want a section of 5 dpi next to 12 dpi? No problem. Want repeating stripes of 8 / 10 / 5 / 12? You can do that too.

• Mix fine and chunky yarns in one warp
  Combine laceweight, sock yarn, DK, chunky and novelty yarns side by side without compromising the sett for each area. Great for expressive, painterly weaving.

• More freedom than fixed blocks
  Compared with the Ashford Vari Dent reed, which comes in pre-sized blocks, Weaver’s Choice gives you even more flexibility – you decide exactly how many of each dent size you want to use and in what order.

• Fits both Kromski and Ashford looms
  A wonderfully versatile reed solution – you’re not restricted to just one brand of rigid heddle loom.

If you love pushing your weaving beyond plain cloth into art pieces, textured scarves, statement wraps and experimental samples, this reed is a dream.

Dent Sizes & Sections

Each Weaver’s Choice set includes four dent sizes so you can blend and contrast:

• 5 dent – for bulky and art yarns

• 8 dent – great for DK / worsted

• 10 dent – perfect for many standard knitting yarns

• 12 dent – for finer yarns and more drapey fabrics

You get multiple individual pieces of each dent size, so you can repeat, alternate, block and arrange them however you like.
