Unapologetically overlooked raised threads on fabric surface (3)
I believe the answer is:
nap
'fabric surface' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'unapologetically overlooked raised threads' is the wordplay.
'NAP' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am unsure how this is indicated.
'on' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nap that I've seen before include "A brief sleep, forty winks" , "A brief snooze" , "Sleep lightly" , "Snatch forty winks" , "A fuzzy surface texture" .)
