What does LINSEY mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A coarse, sturdy cloth woven with a linen warp and a wool weft, formerly used for everyday clothing.
Linsey was the fabric of the farmhouse and the frontier, cheap to make and tough enough to wear for years. Colonial American women often wove it at home, dyeing the wool to make petticoats, dresses and hunting shirts. The full name is linsey-woolsey, a compound that seems to join the words linen and wool.
