What does JASPE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technical
Having a mottled or streaked appearance similar to the stone jasper, said especially of woven cloth or yarn.
Jaspe describes a woven or dyed pattern where colors blend and shift unevenly across the surface, producing a marbled effect rather than a flat, single tone. The term comes from the resemblance of this uneven coloring to the veined stone jasper, and it is used mainly by weavers, tailors and textile sellers describing cloth, yarn or carpet. A jaspe fabric can be made from a single dyed thread whose color varies along its length, so the finished weave shows soft stripes or clouds of tone instead of sharp lines.
How JASPE is used
Used mainly in textile and fashion contexts to describe fabric, yarn or carpet with a mottled, multicolored surface.
