Girl eager to make cloth (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nankeen

'cloth' is the definition.
(I know that nankeen is a type of cloth)

'girl eager' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'nan'.
'eager' becomes 'keen' (I've seen this before).
'nan'+'keen'='NANKEEN'

'to make' is the link.

(Other definitions for nankeen that I've seen before include "Chinese cotton cloth" , "Buff-coloured cotton cloth" , "mustard colour" , "Buff-coloured cotton fabric" , "Buff colour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
