Character's spoken with weavers offering family treasures (9)
I believe the answer is:
heirlooms
'family treasures' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to property as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'character's spoken with weavers' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'character's' could be 'ms' and 'ms' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'offering' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
