Some rags woven into a very fine material (8)

gossamer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fine material' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'some rags woven' is the wordplay.
'woven' indicates anagramming the letters.
'some'+'rags'='somerags'
'somerags' with letters rearranged gives 'GOSSAMER'.

'into a very' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gossamer that I've seen before include "Spider-woven threads seen on hedges" , "Some rags (anag.)" , "Filmy floating cobweb" , "Smears go onto light delicate material" , "Material spun by spiders" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
