What does CREWEL mean in Scrabble?
noun
A fine, loosely twisted woollen yarn used for decorative needlework on cloth.
Crewel is the thread behind a whole style of raised, curling embroidery, often showing vines, flowers and leaves stitched onto linen. The wool is soft and slightly springy, which gives the finished pattern its textured look. People speak of crewel work, crewel curtains and crewel bed hangings, and the term is tied closely to seventeenth-century English household fabrics.
