Baize - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (114 words) |
 | Baize is a coarse woollen or cotton cloth, called "felt" in American English, often coloured red or green. |
 | It is often used on snooker and billiards tables (it is the green cloth that covers the top and is often referred to as 'the green baize'). |
 | As the surface finish for baize is not exceptional, it is generally not used for tables used on the professional circuit. |

 | The four Baize children Elizabeth 12, William 10, Jonathan 8 and Charles 5, are reserved and well-mannered, but exhibit the spontaneity of youngsters who are encouraged to explore life to its fullest. |
 | Baize's studio, which adjoins the house, is as informal and relaxed as its owner. |
