Ferdigvevde

Ferdigvevde is a Norwegian term used for fabrics that have completed the weaving stage and are delivered as finished textiles. The word combines ferdig, meaning finished or ready, with vevd, the past participle of veve (to weave), indicating that no further weaving is required.

In textile trade, ferdigvevde fabrics are typically ready for cutting and sewing and may have already undergone post-weaving finishing such as bleaching, dyeing, printing, softening, or calendar finishing. They are often contrasted with greige or unfinished fabrics, which have been woven but have not yet been finished.

Ferdigvevde fabrics cover a broad range of fibers and uses, including cotton, wool, silk, linen, and synthetics. They are employed in clothing, upholstery, and household textiles, and are commonly sold as yardage or roll stock in standardized widths and finishes suited to end-use applications.

The term helps buyers specify that the fabric is ready-to-use and that the supplier has handled the necessary post-weaving processing. It is frequently encountered in Scandinavian and European textile catalogs and trade literature, where precise terminology supports procurement, pricing, and logistics.
