• A short fibre left over from combing wool or spinning silk during the preparation of textile yarns. sometimes it is referred to as 'raw silk', although this is somewhat of a misnomer.

• "The fabric was filled with noils, making it rough to the touch."
• "The noils left behind in the spinning process were reused to create new yarn."
