Morphology

loopful = loop (semi-transparent) = loop + ful

The meaning of 'loopful' as 'containing many loops' is not a standard derivation from 'loop' + 'ful'.

Etymology

Loopful comes from loop ('a small circle or curve') and the ending -ful ('full of'). So a loopful fabric is literally 'full of loops', which is why a loopful towel or carpet feels soft and comfortable.
