fleecy

Like lamb's coat

Fleecy describes something soft, light, and woolly, like the coat of a sheep.

It most often characterizes clouds that look like tufts of wool, or fabrics and materials with a soft, fuzzy texture: fleecy blankets, fleecy clouds drifting across the sky.

The word suggests warmth and gentle texture, making it common in descriptions of cozy clothing and bedding.
