What does DIMITY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A sturdy cotton cloth woven with raised stripes or a checked pattern.
Dimity was once a favourite for bed hangings, curtains, light summer dresses and petticoats because it washed well and held its crisp texture. The pattern is made in the weave itself, not printed on, which gives the cloth its faint ribbed look. Its name goes back through Italian to a Greek word meaning two threads, a reference to the doubled warp.
