Cotton fabric from port on Capri, for example (5)
I believe the answer is:
lisle
'cotton fabric' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'port on capri for example' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'port' could be 'l' and 'l' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'isle' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lisle that I've seen before include "(Fabric woven with) a fine cotton thread" , "Strong cotton fabric" , "Strong cotton material" , "Fine smooth cotton thread for stockings" , "Cotton stocking thread" .)
