Frieze refers to a napped or piled woollen cloth, originally Irish - velvet is similar to frieze but is made of silk or cotton.
Shoddy is remanufactured cloth that was made from unravelling or tearing apart old cloth or garments, mixing the fibres with other new fibres and remanufacturing [spinng and weaving] the resultant thread into new cloth.
