What does NINON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A fine, sheer fabric, usually of silk or a similar fiber, used for dresses and curtains.
Ninon is a lightweight, see-through fabric most often woven from silk or a manufactured fiber, prized for its smooth drape and gentle sheen. Dressmakers reach for ninon in eveningwear and delicate linings because it lets light pass through softly without looking completely transparent. It is also a popular choice for curtains, since a length of ninon filters sunlight while still letting a room feel open and bright. Compared to heavier cloth, ninon creases easily and needs careful pressing before it goes under the needle.
