moire
Explanation:
After some research on the net I found that "vattring" is some sort of process where a certain kind of fabric pattern is created. In English this process/pattern is called moire. In addition, it seems to be used to describe the pattern of bird's feathers.

In my opinion, "moire" doesn't seem to make much sense in this regard. Is it possible it is misspelled?

First take a look at this link (this is the translation of the word)
http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/translation/vattri...

This is from NE.se:
vattring
vattring, efterbehandling av färdig vävnad för att skapa mönster i tyget. Två lager tyg varmpressas eller varmvalsas mot varandra, vilket medför att det ena tyglagrets mönstereffekt präglas på det andra. Resultatet blir en skimrande yta. Det behandlade tyget kallas moaré. En enklare, liknande effekt (falsk moaré) kan fås med präglingskalander.

As I was reading through my answer it occurred to me that "vattring" could be used as a synonym for "mönster" (pattern - in english) in this regard. That would make more sense, wouldn't it? // cbk

No, I found the definition in a Swedish-English technical dictionary: segregation (plas).
So I gave it a low priority.
