furled

Wrapped around itself

Furled means rolled or gathered up tightly, usually describing something flexible like a flag, sail, or umbrella.

A furled sail is wound around its mast; a furled umbrella is collapsed and wrapped.

The opposite is unfurled—spread open or unrolled: The flags hung furled in the still air.
