Comfort thus found with delicate fabric (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

solace

'comfort' is the definition.
('solace' can be a synonym of 'comfort')

'thus found with delicate fabric' is the wordplay.
'thus' becomes 'so' ('so' can be a synonym of 'thus').
'found with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'delicate fabric' becomes 'lace' (I've seen this before).
'so'+'lace'='SOLACE'

(Other definitions for solace that I've seen before include "Something that comforts distress" , "console" , "amusement" , "Comfort in time of disappointment or sorrow" , "Kind of comfort - a close thing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
