Cloth made from flax (5)
I believe the answer is:
linen
'cloth made from flax' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for linen that I've seen before include "Sheets, tablecloths etc" , "E.g. bedclothes" , "Fine cloth for Lenin" , "Cloth made from flax" , "Bed sheets etc" .)
