Art/Literary - Folklore / etnografie/tehnici de tesut | | Romanian term or phrase: tehnica tesutului navadit | | De la covoare, la feţe de pernă, de masă, foi de perete, de culme, traiste, desagi, până la îmbrăcămintea de muncă sau de sărbătoare, toate erau realizate în gospodăria proprie. Folosindu-se războiul orizontal, tehnica ţesutului simplu (bătut), năvădit sau ales cu îmbinări armonioase, pe fond verde sau cafeniu, cu motive geometrice, florale, cosmice, erau realizate cele mai frumoase pânze. |

Nevedit, or Neveditura (pl. Nevedituri or năvăditură) - drawing
The second system of decoration is called neveditura (drawing) (Serbian čunčanje). The oldest form of neveditura was made by wrapping the weft threads around a stick which made a pattern of diagonal lines (în coaste) used for belts and some skirts. In this case the pattern is made only by the warp threads, with the weft threads providing support whilst being invisible.
Neveditura differs from alesatură as it was made completely automatically by pushing treadles on the loom which moved the heddles up and down. Between 3 and 32 heddles were used. This was a very ancient method of weaving found all over the world. The warp threads and heddles were organised prior to commencing weaving. The patterns were made as the shuttle carrying the coloured weft thread ran through the warp when the loom treadles (potnogii) were pressed by the operator. The heddles were moved in such a way as to make the decorative motifs automatically without hand intervention. Unlike the hand alesatură, these patterns arise from the arrangement of the warp, not weft, threads. The resulting pattern is a set of motifs repeated on the entire surface of the fabric (not isolated like alesatură). The simplest nevedituri was made using 4 heddles with the resulting patterns forming 'eyes' (ochiuri or ozoare), or fir trees ( brazi) on 'aba' used for cioareci, brâie, fuste, or veste, and striped everyday aprons. Textiles made using neveditura are found in Muntenia, Oltenia, Dobrogea and Transylvania, north Moldavia.
