raggedy
Frayed and shabby
Raggedy describes something torn, frayed, or worn to tatters: a raggedy old coat, raggedy jeans with holes in the knees.
It extends to anything shabby or unkempt: a raggedy beard, raggedy handwriting.
The word carries a folksy, informal tone that plain *ragged* lacks.
Raggedy Ann is a cloth doll with yarn hair and a triangle nose.
