unspun
Still loose fibers
Unspun describes something that hasn't been processed through spinning—wool or cotton still in its raw state.
More commonly, unspun refers to information presented without manipulation or favorable interpretation: unspun facts, the unspun truth.
The word implies directness, free from the distortions of public relations or political spin: Give me the unspun version of what happened.
