wooly
Like thick fleece
Woolly describes something resembling wool—soft, thick, and fluffy: a woolly sweater, woolly clouds.
It also characterizes sheep and similar animals with dense, curly coats.
Figuratively, woolly thinking is vague or muddled, lacking clarity or precision: woolly arguments, woolly logic.
The spelling wooly (single l) is a variant, more common in American English.
