What does TULLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A fine, stiff net fabric used for veils, ballet skirts, and other delicate garments.
Tulle takes its name from the French city of Tulle, where the fabric was first produced on a large scale in the early nineteenth century. Weavers make it from silk, nylon, or cotton threads arranged in a fine hexagonal mesh, which gives the material its characteristic stiffness and see-through quality. Dressmakers favor tulle for wedding veils and for the layered skirts of ballet tutus, since the fabric holds its shape and puffs out without needing heavy support underneath. Because it is so lightweight, tulle is often gathered in many layers to build volume rather than being used as a single flat piece.
