Start, so far removing middle of the fabric (10)

I believe the answer is:

winceyette

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

'the fabric' is the definition.
(winceyette is a kind of fabric)

'start so far removing middle' is the wordplay.
'start' becomes 'wince' (wince is a kind of start).
'so far' becomes 'yet' (I've seen this before).
'removing middle' becomes 'te' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'wince'+'yet'+'te'='WINCEYETTE'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for winceyette that I've seen is " Fabric".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
