Some poorly crafted material (5)
I believe the answer is:
lycra
'material' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'some poorly crafted' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'LYCRA' is hidden in the letters of 'poorly crafted'.
(Other definitions for lycra that I've seen before include "Elasticated synthetic material" , "Stretch fabric" , "Material for exercise wear" , "gear for cyclists" , "Stretchy sports material" .)
