Accumulated some homespun articles on the way back (3,2)
I believe the answer is:
ran up
'accumulated' is the definition.
(running up is a kind of accumulating)
'some homespun articles on the way back' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'on the way back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'punar' can be found hidden inside 'homespun articles'.
'punar' back-to-front is 'RAN UP'.
(Other definitions for ran up that I've seen before include "Accumulated" , "significant rise" , "Sewed together quickly" .)
