Crossword Genius

Touched some material (4)

Ross

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" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
