afghan

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'woollen blanket' is the definition.
'afghan' can be an answer for 'blanket' (afghan is a kind of blanket). I'm not sure about the 'woollen' bit.

'hang out under crafts' centre' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'under' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'centre' means to look at the middle letters.
The centre of 'crafts' is 'af'.
'hang' with letters rearranged gives 'ghan'.
'ghan' after 'af' is 'AFGHAN'.

'making' is the link.
