A fabricator, we do declare! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

weaver

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a fabricator' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'we do declare' is the wordplay.
'do declare' becomes 'aver' (averring is a kind of declaring).
'we'+'aver'='WEAVER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for weaver that I've seen before include "Bottom was one (MND)" , "Bottom's trade (MND)" , "Maker of baskets" , "A craftsman" , "He makes cloth or fabric" .)
