angoraphobia - n. fear of soft, fuzzy sweaters (agoraphobic. - adj.)
Usage examples:
Sheila, who had severe but as yet undiagnosed angoraphobia, shrieked in terror upon opening a Christmas present from her grandmother. Harold, a recently recovered agoraphobic (Harold had sought treatment when, as a teenager in the 50s, he found himself unable to be around teenaged girls and thus unable to go out on dates) having gone through a lengthy course of aversion therapy, leapt into the fray, grabbed the accursed soft, fuzzy sweater, and flung it into the fireplace.

What if the hokey pokey really *is* what it's all about?
