New York —

WestPoint Home has expanded the Rachael Ray line it launched earlier this year in bed and bath.

New to the line are jersey knit sheets in Stay-Brite tones, blankets in eight colors, and the Comfy Sheet — a moisture wicking sheet with a fitted sheet.

Also new to the line is a "Moppine" two-in-one dish towel/oven mitt. On Ray's televised cooking show, the celebrity often works with a kitchen towel over her shoulder that she also uses as an ersatz mitt.

"She calls it her Moppine, which is not an Italian term but an Italian-American term for dish towel," clarified Albert Sardelli, WestPoint svp of design.
