Sash in Bilbao, with alb braided all around (3)
I believe the answer is:
obi
'sash' is the definition.
(type of Japanese sash or belt)
'bilbao with alb braided all around' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'around' could be 'o' (a round letter) and 'o' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bi' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for obi that I've seen before include "__-Wan Kenobi of "Star Wars" - kimono sash" , "Japanese habit?" , "Sash worn on Japanese kimono" , "Broad Japanese sash" , "Spells" .)
