I have only one reed, a twelve dent. I am feeling more and more like I need, at the least, a ten dent and an eight dent if I'm to be able to use the various #weaving books and tutorials that I have found. Trouble is, reeds are spendy.
@firdarrig Rigid heddle or floor/table loom?
@firdarrig If you could have only one reed, in my opinion you got the ideal one.
My floor loom came with a 6, 8, 10 and 12. Maybe it's just the type of projects I pick, but I almost exclusively use my 12-dent reed. I've used my 10-dent reed a couple times, but never used the other ones (and anyway a 12 dent reed becomes a 6 dent reed if you skip every other slot).
I bet most of those projects could adapt to 12-dent with finer yarn choices.
