Fabric that produces flattery (7)
I believe the answer is:
flannel
This clue could be a double definition.
'fabric' is the first definition.
(flannel is a kind of fabric)
'produces flattery' is the second definition.
'flannel' can be an answer for 'flattery' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'produces' bit.
'that' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for flannel that I've seen before include "used for washing face" , "nonsense" , "something to wash with" , "short trousers" , "Fabric; bland talk" .)
