Comfort from very delicate fabric (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

solace

'comfort' is the definition.
(I know that solace is a type of comfort)

'very delicate fabric' is the wordplay.
'very' becomes 'so' (both can mean 'extremely').
'delicate fabric' becomes 'lace' (I've seen this before).
'so'+'lace'='SOLACE'

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for solace that I've seen before include "Kind of comfort - a close thing" , "Comfort and reassurance" , "Comport" , "Comfort in time of disappointment or sorrow" , "Comfort at a time of sadness" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
