Pronunciation: [wˈʊld] (IPA) 
The word "woolled" is spelled with two L's, despite many English words with the same ending dropping the second L. This is because the root word is "wool", pronounced /wʊl/. When adding the suffix "-ed", which is pronounced /d/ in this case, the L must be doubled to maintain the pronunciation of the root word. "Woolled" means covered in wool, and is commonly used to describe sheep or clothing items made from wool.
"Woolled" is an adjective derived from the noun "wool" and pertains to something that is covered, made, or produced using wool. It describes an item that has been fabricated or constructed using this natural fiber, typically obtained from the coats of sheep.
The term "woolled" can be particularly used to describe textiles, fabrics, or garments that are made primarily of or contain a significant amount of wool. These can include woolled sweaters, scarves, hats, or blankets. Such items are often highly regarded for their warmth, comfort, and insulating properties, making them suitable for colder climates or winter wear. The presence of wool in these products provides additional benefits such as breathability, durability, and resistance to wrinkles or creases.
In a broader sense, "woolled" can also be used metaphorically to describe anything that resembles or bears similarities to wool in terms of texture, appearance, or properties. For instance, a thickly layered cloud formation in the sky might be described as being woolled due to its dense, fluffy, and fibrous appearance. Similarly, plants or flowers with soft, downy surfaces resembling wool can also be referred to as woolled.
Overall, "woolled" refers to anything made of wool or sharing resemblances with wool in texture or appearance, highlighting the versatility and usefulness of this natural fiber in various industries.
