Fabric you take a liking to (6)
I believe the answer is:
cotton
'fabric' is the definition.
(I know that cotton is a type of fabric)
'you take a liking to' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'to' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cotton that I've seen before include "Cloth woven from a plant" , "Substance like fine wool" , "This wool is a fluffy wadding" , "Fibre including kapok" , "Natural cloth" .)
