"Crinoline" is an undergarment. "Crinolin" is a material, correctly described below, used to give shape to the attenunated crinolines that were the rage in the late 1950s.
 
Sam, who was old enuff to appreciate them and who is still young enuff to treasure the memory :-)

Well, Paul simon spells it Crinoline... <G>

FOR EMILY, WHEREVER I MAY FIND HER
PAUL SIMON

What a dream I had, pressed in organdy
Clothed in crinoline of smokey burgandy
Softer than the rain

I wanderd empty streets, down past the shop display
I heard cathedral bells, tripping down the alley-way
As I walked on

And when you ran to me, your checks flushed with the night
We walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight
I held your hand

(instrumental)

And when I awoke and felt your warm and near
I kissed your honey hair, with my grateful tears
Oh I love you girl

Oh how I love you girl

hear my customer and my wife talking about them.  And I DO remember 
that they said that they were either MADE OF something 
called "Crinolin", or, were made of something LIKE something called 
Crinolin.  And I am not sure of the spelling of the 
word "Crinolin".   I also SEEM to recall hearing them say something 
about how crinolin might have been the material (or LIKE the 
material) that was used to make womens' old-fashioned petticoats!

on a roll instead of in a sheet, and was then just "woven" and/or 
knitted (or something) into the shape of a scrubbing pad.

4" x 6" board in about 30 seconds, INCLUDING all of the drill holes 
and small spaces, with very little EFFORT!!

And this pad does the job in much less than 1/10th the time, with 
much less than 1/10th the effort.
