Noil

Encyclopedia : N : NO : NOI : Noil

Noil is the short fiber left over from combing wool or spinning silk. Silk noil is also called "raw silk", although that is a misnomer. As noil is a relatively short fiber, fabric made from noil is weaker and considered less valuable.

The plural noils is also used, and means the same as noil.

It is also the name of a Petpet in the online game Neopets.
