What does PANNE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A soft velvet fabric with its pile pressed flat in one direction, giving it a smooth, lustrous sheen.
Manufacturers create panne by rolling ordinary velvet under heat and heavy pressure, which lays the short pile flat and makes the fabric catch the light differently depending on the angle it is viewed from. Dancewear, evening clothes, and stage costumes often use panne because the flattened pile drapes closely to the body and shows off movement under stage lighting. The name comes from the French word for the same treated fabric.
