Little girl eager for material (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nankeen

'material' is the definition.
(nankeen is a type of material)

'little girl eager' is the wordplay.
'little girl' becomes 'Nan' (Nan can be short for Nancy or Anne).
'eager' becomes 'keen' (I've seen this before).
'nan'+'keen'='NANKEEN'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for nankeen that I've seen before include "Durable yellow cotton fabric, originally from China" , "trouser material" , "Yellowish stuff" , "Chinese cotton cloth" , "Buff colour(ed cloth)" .)
