Comments on the clue
1.Very like my clue so points awarded, only quibble is that cloth can't be both cheap and free!
2.Don't like the indirect pointer to yen in the anagram fodder … and even if ok, it probably needs an indicator that it's a fragmented yen
3.Surface unravels: the cloth can't both be free and cheap.
