How it's used
Refers specifically to the soft, fuzzy texture of the fabric rather than a specific fiber type. It is commonly associated with winter clothing or soft cleaning cloths because of its warmth and non-abrasive surface. You will often hear it used when describing comfortable pajamas or baby blankets.
