Furl is usually used when referring to a flag or a ship's sail. It means to roll it up and tie it securely.

"Furl" means to gather securely, like when you roll up a poster, or wrapping paper. Likewise, "unfurl" means to do just the opposite.

it is usually unfurl, meaning to unroll or spread something out.
often flags are unfurled or opened up.
often it is fabric or something flat that has been rolled.
i have never heard it used but then furl would mean to roll something up. but i have never heard it used. only unfurl.
