A unit of fineness of rayon, nylon or silk fibres (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

denier

(Other definitions for denier that I've seen before include "Measurement of fineness in silk, nylon etc" , "how fine stockings are?" , "One refusing to admit" , "Conspiracist probably" , "Unit of weight for fine material, silk or nylon" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
