Stretchy lace, it's weird (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elastic

'stretchy' is the definition.
(something elastic can be stretched)

'lace it's weird' is the wordplay.
'weird' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lace'+'its'='laceits'
'laceits' anagrammed gives 'ELASTIC'.

(Other definitions for elastic that I've seen before include "Giving" , "Kind of band" , "Flexible, adaptable" , "Narrow band of rubber" , "Pliable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
