Swedish term or phrase: skaftvävd
Detta handlar om tillverkning, tryck och färgning av tyger i England under första halvan av 1800-talet:

"De tyger där det främst är vävtekniken som skapar mönster kan delas in i grupper: pikétyger, jacquardvävda tyger, kypertvävda tyger med rutor eller ränder, tyger med enkla, skaftvävda mönster samt ripser."

"Även om piké var kopplat till den ursprungliga, skaftvävda tekniken, fortsatte man att använda ordet när möjligheten att mönstra med jacquardmaskin möjliggjorde nya mönsterformer."

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

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

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks for your suggestion! However, I went with the other option as it seems to fit in better with the rest of the text.

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".
