Tulle

Japanese: チュール

A finely woven net made of fine threads. It is also called tortoiseshell gauze because the mesh is usually hexagonal. Its name comes from the French town of Tulle, where it was produced. It was originally made of cotton or silk, but is now mostly made of nylon or polyester. There is also tulle lace with embroidery. It is transparent and has a good stretch, so it is used for dress parts, trims, veils, curtains, etc.

Tulle

The warrior god in Norse mythology. His name has the same origin as the Greek Zeus, and is thought to have been the sky god in ancient times, but in the current myths he is subordinate to Odin and Thor and does not play a major role. He lost one hand while binding the wolf Fenrir. The English word Tuesday means "Tulle Day."
