Story that can be spun out? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yarn

This clue is a double definition.

'story' is the first definition.
('yarn' can be a synonym of 'story')

'that can be spun out?' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for yarn that I've seen before include "Rope" , "Sham" , "Sailor's tale" , "which could unravel?" , "Not fully credible story" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
