Loop-hole (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eyelet

I believe this is a double definition.

'loop' is the first definition.
(I know that loop can be written as eyelet)

'hole' is the second definition.
(hole for putting a shoelace through)

(Other definitions for eyelet that I've seen before include "One caught by hook" , "Hole in shoe through which lace passes" , "Small ring, for shoelace perhaps" , "Metal ring reinforcing a small round hole in fabric" , "Small opening in needle for thread" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
