What’s a Weaving Reed Count Anyway?

Think of the weaving reed like the teeth of a comb. It spaces out warp threads, keeping them aligned. The reed count tells you how many of these slots (dents) fit into a given measurement. Different regions use different systems:

• Imperial (EPI) – Dents per inch
• Metric (dents/10 cm) – Used in many countries
• Stockport (dents/2 inches) – Common in older weaving methods

Each system has its quirks, but they all serve the same purpose: helping you control fabric density and weave structure.
