Page "Noil" Paragraph 0

alt = Hand Dyed Silk NoilNoil is the short fiber left over from combing wool or spinning silk and used as a decorative additive for many spinning projects, like rovings and yarns.

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.
