I believe the answer is:

fleece

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'describe as woolly?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'get away with edgy clue that some' is the wordplay.
'get away' becomes 'flee' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'that some' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letters of 'edgy clue' is 'ec'.
'flee' going around 'ec' is 'FLEECE'.

'might' is the link.
