Swedish term or phrase: rapport
Detta kommer från en artikel om textilhistoria. Rapport i detta sammanhang handlar om den enhet av ett mönster som egentligen innefattar hela mönstret, och som man sedan bara upprepar om och om igen när man väver eller trycker tyger. Eller som det står i NE: "den del av ett mönster som vid regelbunden upprepning bildar hela mönstret"

Såhär står det på Wikipedia: https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mönsterrapport

Explanation:
Not my gig, but not a guess. I found this definition that kind of fits you reference (http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/repeat).

  • The repeat of a fabric or wallpaper refers to the number of inches it takes before the pattern starts all over again. The distance between the starting point of the pattern point where that pattern starts over again is referred to as “one repeat.”
  • Wallpapers (wallcoverings) have what is called a pattern repeat — unless your wallpaper is a solid or has a simple texture. The pattern repeat is the vertical distance between where the pattern is identical again (repeats). That distance can be less tha
