cobwebbed

Strung with silk

Cobwebbed describes something covered with or as if covered with cobwebs—those dusty, abandoned spider webs that accumulate in neglected corners.

A cobwebbed attic hasn't been visited in years.

Figuratively, cobwebbed suggests something old, forgotten, or disused: cobwebbed memories, the cobwebbed corners of his mind.
