Spinner of yarns (11)
I believe the answer is:
storyteller
'spinner of yarns' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for storyteller that I've seen before include "he retails pork pies" , "novelist?" , "Narrator of tale, liar" , "Narrator (possibly a liar?)" , "Relater of tales; liar" .)
