Sensed material (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

felt

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'sensed' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'material' is the second definition.
(I know that felt is a type of material)

(Other definitions for felt that I've seen before include "material for a fedora" , "Touched; a soft material" , "Rather thought; a cloth" , "Was aware of; a fabric" , "Considered" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Mirror.
