Someone who says no - how thick (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

denier

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'someone who says no' is the first definition.
(someone who denies or says no)

'how thick' is the second definition.
(denier is a measure of thickness in material)

(Other definitions for denier that I've seen before include "One refuses to acknowledge" , "A measure of material" , "Measurement of fineness in silk, nylon etc" , "Measure of the fineness of silk or nylon" , "Peter?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
