Appreciative having a rug manufactured with felt (8)
I believe the answer is:
grateful
'appreciative' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'a rug manufactured with felt' is the wordplay.
'manufactured with' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'rug'='arug'
'arug' with its letters anagrammed with 'felt' makes 'GRATEFUL'.
'having' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for grateful that I've seen before include "Showing appreciation for kindness" , "Beholden" , "Showing gratitude" , "Felt a rug (anag)" , "quantity of coal" .)
