'material that' is the definition.
'polyester' can be an answer for 'material' (polyester is a kind of material). I'm not sure about the rest of the definition.

'be adapted to poet's lyre' is the wordplay.
'be adapted' is an anagram indicator.
'poets'+'lyre'='poetslyre'
'poetslyre' anagrammed gives 'POLYESTER'.

'could' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
