What does DECKLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
printing
The frame that holds paper pulp on the mould in papermaking, or the rough feathered edge it leaves on a sheet.
In handmade paper the deckle is a removable wooden frame laid on the mould, and it decides how large the sheet will be and how its edges look. Paper machines have an equivalent device that limits the width of the web. Because the pulp seeps slightly under the frame, a handmade sheet comes out with a soft ragged border, called a deckle edge, which book lovers and designers sometimes imitate on machine-made paper.
