Does anyone have a Loom?

The finer the reed you can get, the less trouble you'll have with threads sticking to one another. Sleying 4 threads/dent lets four threads clump together. I'd get a fine reed and sley 2 threads/dent.

I do have a 20. Maybe sley 2 threads/dent, 40 threads/in, 32 inches wide is only... 1280 threads. Wonder what the weight would be?

I think a 20 would be a great one to start with.

Anybody have a reed with 24" dents/inch?

The closest I have seen for yarn is from Camilla Valley Farm:
