Crocheting need, or a tall tale (4)
I believe the answer is:
yarn
I believe this is a double definition.
'crocheting need' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'a tall tale' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for yarn that I've seen before include "Spun fibre" , "A long tale" , "Rambling tale" , "Fabricated" , "Rambling story" .)
