Device with threads (4)

I believe the answer is:

loom

(Other definitions for loom that I've seen before include "Appear dimly; be imminent" , "'Appear as a vague form, perhaps threatening (4)'" , "Of future event, seem ominously close" , "Apparatus for weaving cloth" , "Weaving machine to appear indistinctly" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
