Device for Arachne, in Greek myth (4)

I believe the answer is:

loom

(Other definitions for loom that I've seen before include "See 12" , "Weaving machine to appear indistinctly" , "Weaving frame - seem ominously close" , "Rise up threateningly ahead" , "Menace - weaving device" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
