Metric Stainless Steel Reeds

Metric reeds have a designation of "xx" dents per 10 centimeters.  For example, a 40-10 designation means 40 dents per 10 centimeters.   LoftyFiber provides charts with sleying pattern setts in both imperial (dents per inch) and metric (dents per centimeter) for the metric reeds on this listing.  These charts are in the learning site, learn.loftyfiber.com under the Weaving Basics free course.
