A heaping pile of clothes on a bed, chair, or most likely on the floor. The clothes may be a mix of folded and unfolded or completely unfolded and potentially inside-out. Stacks of folded clothes do not constitute a thread nest.
Mom: Check that thread nest for the keys again, would you?

Me: Yeah sure, but I didn't even touch those clothes today.
Dad: Hey I found the keys in my pocket.
