This chart will help you figure out how to use the reed that you own to reach the sett that you want to weave with.
To use the chart: In the top row, find the reed size you own. Then, find your desired epi (ends per inch) in the body of the table. Follow that row to the left-most column to get the order in which you should sley your reed.ย The numbers in the left-most column indicate the number of ends that go through each slot in the reed.
For example if you have a 10 dent reed and you want to get to 15epi, you go down the 10 column until you get to 15.ย Then look to the left, and see 1-2 in the left-most column.ย This means in the first dent you will sley one end, and in the second dent you will sley 2 threads.ย You will do this across the warp and you will then have 15 ends per inch in the reed.
