Lacehole (6)

I believe the answer is:

eyelet

(Other definitions for eyelet that I've seen before include "Small hole in needle for thread" , "Small opening in shoe for lace" , "Metal ring reinforcing a small round hole in fabric" , "Small hole for lace, etc" , "Hole for, eg, shoe lace" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
