Tufts of hanging threads (7)

I believe the answer is:

tassels

(Other definitions for tassels that I've seen before include "Adornments of bunches of cords" , "Tufts of decorative hanging threads" , "Ornamental bunches of cords" , "Decorations" , "Ornamental bunches of threads as on curtains" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
