  • Warp and weft density mirror tool - 1pc
Product Description

Use this warp and weft density mirror tool to count or measure the density of various textiles. With this instrument the warp and weft threads can be counted quickly and easily, after which the ratio or density of the threads in the fabric can be calculated. It’s an ideal tool for anyone who works in the textile industry, from buyers and sellers to dressmakers, tailors and fashion designers. To count weft threads, lay the tool on the fabric, parallel to the weft threads. A diamond shape is now reflected on the glass plate in the area with the lines. One point of the diamond indicates the number of threads per centimetre (scale: 18-64) and the opposite point the number of threads in inches (scale: 45-161). To count the warp threads, place the tool on the fabric, parallel to the warp threads. This warp and weft density mirror tool is made of glass. It is 6.8mm thick, and measures 15.8cm length x 5.8cm width. Supplied in a plastic case.

Please note:

  • this warp and weft density mirror tool is especially suitable for plain-weave (flat-weave) fabrics with a weave density of 18-60 threads per centimetre or 46-150 threads per inch (beyond this range, this tool is less reliable). On the other hand, this tool is less suitable for very fine fabrics.
  • Dark fabrics are best placed under a light source first, such as a lightbox, so that the reflected diamond shape is clearly visible.
  • The weave density can change after processing the fabric, for example after washing or dyeing.
