caressable

Pleasant to stroke

Caressable describes something inviting to be stroked or touched tenderly—soft skin, smooth fabric, a cat's fur.

The word suggests texture and approachability that makes you want to run your hand over it: Her caressable cheek, the caressable leather of the armchair.
