Thread of a story? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yarn

I believe this is a double definition.

'thread' is the first definition.
(I know that thread can be written as yarn)

'a story?' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for yarn that I've seen before include "Cord of twisted fibres, wool say" , "Sort of tale" , "Not fully credible story" , "Fabricated" , "Sham" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
