Reed piece is a component within a textile weaving loom. The warp thread passes between the reed teeth, which pushes the weft thread to the weaving fell. During weaving, friction between the yarn and the reed creates grooves in the surface of the reed, causing it to get stuck.
Extend Reed Piece Life Span with TAC-ON™ Coating
