nobbly

Full of bumps

Nobbly describes something covered with small lumps or bumps, giving it an uneven, knotty texture.

Chiefly British.

A nobbly walking stick has a rough, gnarled surface.

Nobbly knees are bony and protruding.

The word suggests irregularity you can see or feel—surfaces that aren't smooth.
