Silk producer (6)

I believe the answer is:

spider

'silk producer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for spider that I've seen before include "Arthropod; snooker rest" , "Prised out the insect" , "Miss Muffet frightener?" , "Prised out the 8-legged creature" , "A common arachnid" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
