You and I get a very detailed description of the fabric maker (6)

I believe the answer is:

weaver

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the fabric maker' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'you and i get a very detailed' is the wordplay.
'you and i' becomes 'we'.
'get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'detailed' means to remove the last letter (the tail of the word is removed).
'very' with its last letter taken away is 'ver'.
'we'+'a'+'ver'='WEAVER'

'description of' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for weaver that I've seen before include "Fabric maker" , "Loom worker; tropical bird" , "Cloth maker" , "A craftsman" , "Bottom was one (MND)" .)
