Material Lenin ordered (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

linen

'material' is the definition.
(I know that linen is a type of material)

'lenin ordered' is the wordplay.
'ordered' indicates an anagram.
'lenin' with letters rearranged gives 'LINEN'.

(Other definitions for linen that I've seen before include "Flaxen cloth" , "Fabric made from flax" , "Spun fibres of flax" , "Fabric woven from flax fibres" , "Cloth woven flax fibres" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
