Loose fibres and fluff (4)

I believe the answer is:

lint

(Other definitions for lint that I've seen before include "Soft material for dressing wounds" , "Fabric for dressings" , "Wound-dressing fabric" , "Soft cloth for dressing wounds" , "Napped cloth used to dress wounds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
