bobbly
Covered in pilling
Bobbly describes a surface covered with small bumps or nodules—the texture of a worn sweater that has developed fabric pills, or a knitted blanket with an uneven weave.
British English uses it more broadly: a bobbly ball bounces erratically, a bobbly pitch in cricket or football has an unpredictable surface that makes the ball hop unexpectedly.
