Decorative ball of coloured fabric strands (6)

I believe the answer is:

pompom

(Other definitions for pompom that I've seen before include "Anti-aircraft weapon" , "Top decoration" , "fluffy decoration" , "Anti-aircraft cannon - woolly ball" , "Cheerleader's ball of material" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
