Mahlo's Patcontrol PCS-20
Large, artistic graphics, timeless glen check or exact pinstripes – the choice of patterns for textiles knows no limits. More and more sophisticated materials are being used to this end, varying greatly in density or elasticity.

The reed is absolutely the accessory with the greatest influence on weave quality. The reed has two essential functions: to guide and align the warp thread in parallel and to uniformly and flatly touch the weft yarn to the woven fabric.
