I sell woven fabric (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lisle

'fabric' is the definition.
(I know that lisle is a type of fabric)

'i sell woven' is the wordplay.
'woven' is an anagram indicator.
'i'+'sell'='isell'
'isell' anagrammed gives 'LISLE'.

(Other definitions for lisle that I've seen before include "Strong cotton material" , "Maker of hose" , "Fine cotton thread used in stockings" , "Type of cotton yarn" , "Twisted yarn" .)
