thrummy
thrummy (THRUM-ee) - adj., covered or edged with thrums.
Which is not very useful unless you know that a thrum is an unwoven end of a warp thread or a fringe of such ends, and by extension any short loose thread. So, having a shaggy (or sometime downy) edge or surface. This sense dates to Middle English, descended from Old English thrum meaning ligament (esp. of the tongue), of Germanic origin.
No, I don't remember where I stumbled upon this.
