I believe the answer is:

yarn

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">I believe this clue is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">thread</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that thread can be written as yarn)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">tale</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for yarn that I've seen before include "Sailor's tale" , "Exaggerated story or spun thread" , "Spun fibre" , "Rope" , "Story, and thread or wool, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
