dobby woven Explanation: Will throw this out for the fun of it. I got this from one of my dictionaries, with no reference. But your text talks about piké, and this description says "piqué fabrics are a type of dobby construction."(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dobby_(cloth)) Some clues and reading in any case! Good luck |

plain weave Explanation: I think "skaftvävd" is the same as "tuskaft", one of the three basic binding techniques in weaving: Swedish: tuskaft, kypert, satin - https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vävtekniker English: plain weave, twill, satin weave - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_weave |

Reference Reference information: This article about dobby loom, refers to several shafts, which is why this perhaps refers to the Swedish "skaftvävd". EN: "Dobby" means SW: "skaft". Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dobby_loom |
