Reed

Reed is a comb like frame that pushes the weft yarn on the hand loom firmly against the finished cloth after each insertion.

A piece of loom apparatus consisting usually of fine /wood slivers standing vertically between two horizontal bars. The comb acts as a warp-spacer and, when weaving, the weaver beats the comb against the newly inserted weft thread with her sword.
