What does ARMURE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A woven fabric, usually of silk or wool, with a small ribbed or pebbled surface pattern.
Armure gets its name from the French word for armour, because the tight, slightly raised weave was thought to resemble the texture of chain mail or scale armour. Tailors and dressmakers use armure for garments that need a firm, textured surface without being heavy, such as ties, waistcoats and formal jackets. The pattern comes from the weave itself rather than from printing or embroidery, which gives armure a consistent texture on both sides of the cloth. Fabric merchants list armure alongside other named weaves such as twill and dobby.
