Fabric, cloth (8)
I believe the answer is:
material
I believe this is a double definition.
'fabric' is the first definition.
(I know that fabric can be written as material)
'cloth' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for material that I've seen before include "Fabric or other substance" , "Fabric, stuff" , "Substantial -- textile" , "Directly relevant to a matter, in a law case perhaps" , "grave" .)
