fuzzy

Like fleece texture

Fuzzy describes something covered with soft, fine fibers or hair: a fuzzy sweater, fuzzy peach skin.

By extension, fuzzy means indistinct or blurred: a fuzzy photograph, fuzzy memories.

Thinking can be fuzzy when unclear or imprecise.

In computing and logic, fuzzy refers to systems that handle degrees of truth rather than strict binary values: fuzzy logic.
