| Mar 26, 2019 at 21:10 | comment | added | Lambie | "baize with worn nap"? There are two types of baize or felt for pool tables: directional and non-directional. snookerdirect.co.uk/acatalog/About_pool_and_snooker_cloth.html | |

| Mar 26, 2019 at 20:54 | comment | added | Dreamcrusher | Thanks for these suggestions! In this instance, the word I'm looking for could apply to hair as well. To my mind, "worn", "moth-eaten", "threadbare" feel related to woven cloth, fabric, rather than a piled material, where individual fibers or areas could be worn down to a substrata, and the encompassing descriptor of that specific state would be X. The X is what I can't put my finger on. The sentence would be taking some poetic license, the comparison meant to infer disease or ill health, so where "blotchy" indicates the presence of unwanted patchiness, this would indicate an absence. | |

| Mar 26, 2019 at 12:42 | comment | added | lbf | 'Worn' for pool table felt is apropos. | |
| Mar 26, 2019 at 12:22 | comment | added | Hot Licks | "Moth-eaten" is a bit metaphorical but could work. | |
| Mar 26, 2019 at 10:17 | comment | added | Pam | Why did you reject "worn"? Is it too generic? | |
