woolliness

Lack of clarity

Woolliness is the quality of being woolly—fuzzy, unclear, or lacking sharp definition.

The word applies to thinking, writing, or arguments that seem soft and imprecise: The proposal suffered from a certain woolliness that made it hard to evaluate.

Less commonly, it describes the literal texture of something resembling wool.
