What does POPLIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A smooth, plain-woven fabric with fine ridges running across it, usually made of cotton and used for shirts and dresses.
Poplin is woven so that fine threads run one way and thicker ones the other, which produces the faint ribbing you can feel with a fingertip. It is crisp, light and holds a press well, so it is a standard choice for dress shirts, raincoats and summer clothing. The name is thought to come from the French papeline, a cloth first made in a papal town of southern France.
