wrinkledness
State of creasing
The state or quality of being wrinkled.
Wrinkledness describes surfaces marked by creases, folds, or furrows—whether skin showing age, fabric in need of ironing, or paper that's been crumpled: The wrinkledness of his face told of decades in the sun.
The word is uncommon; most speakers prefer saying something is wrinkled or has wrinkles.
