Ruplje

Ruplje is a Croatian word (specifically, in the Chakavian dialect) that refers to a type of coarse, hand-woven fabric, traditionally made from hemp, flax, or wool. It is characterized by its rough texture and often used for practical purposes such as making sacks, work clothes, or simple bed coverings. The term can also describe something that is rough, coarse, or of low quality, particularly in relation to textiles. Its usage reflects the traditional agricultural and rural lifestyle where such fabrics were common.
