Dear users, dear authors,
how’s your “wooliness” coming along?
Let me know what you mean by this word. :-)

Hehe, the word somehow sounds a bit like “being in heat” :-) It kind of fits, too: I rub against the wool, meow, sniff around, and am generally restless. Especially at wool festivals ;-)

Yes, I also immediately associated it with “Rolligkeit” (being in heat). But there’s also something like “Wohligkeit” (coziness) in it. I feel good with wool...

To me, “Rolligkeit” sounds like someone is horny. :D Sorry

"Wolligkeit" refers to wool and, as Ruth said, also to coziness.

"Wooliness"? "Wool lust"? ;-)
In any case, I definitely associate it with something lovely. Wool, softness, coziness, warmth... all kinds of lovely things. :-)

I take care of my “Wolligkeit” every day.

“Wolligkeit” :-), that’s exactly the right word for me :-), and I feel much the same way as Ruth—I associate it with a sense of well-being and relaxation, along with the joy of watching a project grow bit by bit and seeing all the wonderful things that can be made from yarn.

Yes, “woolliness.” If you pronounce it just a tiny bit differently, it becomes “coziness.” And that’s exactly how I feel when I sit in my rocking chair and knit, say, a scarf or a blanket—as the blanket gets bigger and bigger and wraps me up in its woolliness. That’s when I feel a sense of well-being.

I just looked it up in the Duden to see whether the word even exists. It really does! There’s an entry as the translation of the English word woolliness: BLURRINESS f (also fig.), (of thoughts also) confusion f
Ummm.

If enough people give a word an extra meaning and use it that way, it may eventually catch on everywhere.
So don’t let it confuse you.
Just carry on with the wooliness.

Of course! Maybe we should launch an ad campaign!
