What does DURRIE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A flat-woven, reversible cotton rug traditionally made in India, often patterned in stripes or simple geometric designs.
A durrie is woven rather than knotted, which makes it thinner, lighter and usually cheaper than a pile carpet, and it can be used equally well on either side. Traditional durries were made from cotton and used as floor coverings, bedding or even outdoor mats in Indian households, and the craft has continued as an export item for home decoration abroad. The word is also spelled dhurrie, but durrie is common in furnishing catalogues and interior design writing.
