Silky piled fabric (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

velvet

'silky piled fabric' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for velvet that I've seen before include "This glove shows gentleness - perhaps to deceive" , "Soft-surfaced fabric" , "Iron fist may be encased in a . . . . . . glove" , "Dense silky fabric" , "woven fabric" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and The Sun.
