I believe the answer is:

call of the wild

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'this natural attraction' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'cloth will fade at random' is the wordplay.
'at random' is an anagram indicator.
'cloth'+'will'+'fade'='clothwillfade'
'clothwillfade' is an anagram of 'CALL OF THE WILD'.

'creating' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for call of the wild that I've seen is " The lure of the great outdoors".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
