Like cotton candy (4)
I believe the answer is:
spun
'like cotton candy' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for spun that I've seen before include "did quick turn" , "Twirled" , "Rapidly rotated" , "(Of cotton/wool) twisted into threads" , "Twisted to give an intended interpretation" .)
