Leis woven in Hawaii, perhaps (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

isle

'hawaii perhaps' is the definition.
(Hawaii is an island)

'leis woven' is the wordplay.
'woven' indicates anagramming the letters.
'leis' anagrammed gives 'ISLE'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for isle that I've seen before include "Insular place" , "This is sceptred!" , "Isolated land" , "Fair ---, knitting style" , "Anglesey, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
