Crossword Genius

Enlarge woven blanket (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

general

'blanket' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'enlarge woven' is the wordplay.
'woven' indicates an anagram.
'enlarge' with letters rearranged gives 'GENERAL'.

(Other definitions for general that I've seen before include "High ranking soldier" , "blanket" , "High ranking officer" , "Opposite of private!" , "Military commander" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
