Beads twisted or perhaps about right (6)
I believe the answer is:
rosary
'beads' is the definition.
(rosary is a kind of beads)
'twisted or perhaps about right' is the wordplay.
'twisted' is a reversal indicator.
'perhaps' becomes 'say' ().
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'right' becomes 'R' (common abbreviation).
'or' written backwards gives 'ro'.
'say' placed around 'r' is 'sary'.
'ro'+'sary'='ROSARY'
(Other definitions for rosary that I've seen before include "Flower garden" , "Chaplet" , "Series of prayers" , "Catholic prayer beads" , "String of devotional beads" .)
