Agree with 'lisle'

Thanks Scorpiojo and Elliemay1 I think you may have cracked it for me as the starting T for my twine came from cotTon but I can make wolLen out of that giving me the L of Lisle
Thank you all a thousand times **** it was really niggling me!!!!!
Thanks again

Glad to have helped :)

[scorpiojo]

Errr...except it's spelt woollen. What is the clue?

[elliemay1]

You're welcome, crosser. What was that clue that gave 'cotton' or 'woolen'?

[elliemay1]

^sorry, woollen

[scorpiojo]

Melton is a strong cloth for overcoats?

[elliemay1]

Wouldn't 'melTon' still give a T?

[Crosser]

23a (6) Plain woven ribbed material and I went for COTTON and yes its the second T that I'm using so I can correct my spelling!!
Again thank you all fgor your help and interest!

[elliemay1]

muslin??

[scorpiojo]

:-)

[elliemay1]

Muslin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Muslin is a cotton fabric of plain weave.

The WOLLEN answer needs an "O" as the second letter and "N" to finish 6 letters so I will chance WOLLEN but thanks for the suggestion Elliemay1

It may be 'poplin' as there is no word spelt as 'wollen'
