What does DUPION mean in Scrabble?
noun
A crisp silk cloth with a slightly knobbly surface, woven from the thread of cocoons spun by two silkworms together.
When two silkworms make one cocoon, their threads tangle and the yarn comes out uneven. Weavers turn that yarn into dupion, a fabric prized for its dry feel and its subtle shimmer, and it is a favourite for bridal wear, curtains and formal dresses. The word reached English from French, and the spelling dupioni is the Italian-influenced form.
