Miss Quinney came to the door wearing a threadbare knitted cardigan, faded corduroys and a bobble hat, and declared that she was far too busy to talk to them.

When I googled for images for “threadbare cardigan”, the browser threw out images of cardigans that there is nothing threadbare about them. Most photos are footnoted with the word threadbare. Does threadbare means anything other than thin from overuse?
Thank you.
