Comments on the clue
1.The stand-out clue for me. Very neat.
2.I struggle a little bit with "yarn" (a thread) for cashmere (a fabric), but the clue is so neat it has to score something.
3.Neat, top marks.
4.Simple but highly effective
5.A good tight clue which is cleverly misleading in terms of the definition, especially as the anagram indicator is so apt.
6.Very nice indeed but can't help feeling many of these anagrams must have been done countless times before.
