Have you downloaded the Reed Substitution Chart from the bottom of the Jane Stafford Textiles websites. If you can't get hold of an 8 dent reed (it's a reed that is useful to have on hand) - you could thread your 6 dent reed using 1-1-2 as shown on the chart. It will slightly change the outcome of your blankie but you should be fine.

But Bethany needs 44 epi or is that a typo

It’s sley 44 ends - not 44 epi. If Bethany had an 8 dent reed - she would sley 1 end per dent.

Ha! I read namcy’s reply..
Best not to read posts when trying to fall asleep!
I woke up thinking, what blanket requires 44 epi

Exactly But I think I have a plan
Now We will see

Thank you for responding Yes i have the chart but I can’t seem to get the math right with the skips and doubles

Hope someone gets your answer on the canvas weave blanket
