Instrument for Arachne, in mythology (4)

I believe the answer is:

loom

(Other definitions for loom that I've seen before include "Hang menacingly (over)" , "Machine for weaving yarn" , "textile manufacturer" , "Weaving - apparatus - overhang" , "Rise up threateningly ahead" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
