napped

Caught some winks

Napped describes fabric with a soft, fuzzy surface created by raising fibers from the weave—velvet, flannel, and corduroy are napped fabrics.

The nap gives these textiles their characteristic texture and determines how light reflects off them, which is why cutting napped fabric requires attention to direction.

Separately, napped is the past tense of nap: I napped for an hour.
