trådad

Trådad is a Swedish adjective meaning threaded or made with threads. It describes something that features threads as an essential element, whether visible on the surface or integrated into the structure. The word is formed from the noun tråd (thread) and the participle suffix -ad, and has cognates in other Scandinavian languages.

In textile and sewing contexts, trådad is commonly used to characterize fabrics, yarns, or decorative elements where threads are prominent. Examples include trådade tyger (threaded fabrics) or trådad spets (threaded lace). The term can also describe garments or textiles that show prominent stitching lines or seam details created by threads.

Beyond textiles, trådad can appear in technical or manufacturing language to indicate that a component has been produced or finished through a threading process, or that it integrates thread-like features. However, its use outside textile and sewing vocabulary tends to be limited and context-dependent.

Usage notes:

- It is most commonly encountered in descriptions of fabrics, weaving, embroidery, and related crafts.

- In everyday Swedish, it often appears in phrases that highlight the presence or quality of threads in a material.
