Hide from oinking creature? (7)

I believe the answer is:
pigskin
'hide' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'from oinking creature?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is found within the answer.
'creature?' could be 'pig' (pigs are animals) and 'pig' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pigskin that I've seen before include "Type of leather" , "Football material" , "Strong leather - (American) football" .)
