German term

Schifferlgewebe

German to English Tech/Engineering Textiles / Clothing / Fashion Hand stamp raw materials
The term appears as part of a list of raw materials hand stamps. The dialect is Upper Austrian. Target audience is potential suppliers of such materials to the stamp manufacturer. The context is:

...
• Textilien (Gewebe, Vlies, Nadelfilz)
• Schlauchbänder (Nadel- und Schifferlgewebe)
• Selbstklebefolien und Selbstklebe-Stanzteile doppelseitig
...

My current best guess is that it involves a particular type of weave for material used in hose straps. Any ideas?
Proposed translations (English)
1 shaft woven

Discussion

Ein "Nadelgewebe" wird nicht gestrickt. Wie der Name schon sagt, wird es gewebt. Da man sowohl mit der Nadel als auch mit dem Schiffchen weben kann, vermute ich, dass das Nadelgewebe eben mit der Nadel, das Schifferlgewebe mit dem Schiffchen gewebt ist.

Is it possible that they simply distinguish between sewn hose straps and hose straps that are woven in one piece (tube)?
Lothar Beyer Jan 3, 2012:
A "Nadelgewebe" is a textile produced with needles, e.g. knitting
philgoddard Jan 3, 2012:
That would make sense. What do you make of Nadelgewebe?
Lothar Beyer Jan 3, 2012:
In German "shuttle" would be "Schütze" or "Webschütze". If you are a hand weaver you would use the term "Schiffchen" or "Schifferl" instead. So a "Schifferlgewebe" is a handwoven textile
Horst Huber (X) Jan 3, 2012:
Is there such a fabric that would not be woven by using a shuttle? ("Schifferl", this word formation is common in Austrian or Bavarian).

shaft woven

I am really just guessing here but I think this might refer to needle woven vs. shaft woven fabrics.
Something went wrong...
