Touched some material (4)
I believe the answer is:
felt
I believe this is a double definition.
'touched' is the first definition.
(feeling is a kind of touching)
'some material' is the second definition.
(felt is a kind of material)
(Other definitions for felt that I've seen before include "Touched the carpet underlay" , "Sensed; fibre cloth" , "checked by hand" , "It's reckoned" , "hat-maker" .)
