BBC owe cast of Silk designed by those spinning yarns (6)

I believe the answer is:

cobweb

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

'silk designed by those spinning yarns' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'bbc owe cast' is the wordplay.
'cast' indicates anagramming the letters (letters are dispersed or cast around).
'bbc'+'owe'='bbcowe'
'bbcowe' anagrammed gives 'COBWEB'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cobweb that I've seen before include "Dusty silken network" , "Naturally spun network" , "Dust (and fly) collector" , "A spider's mesh" , "Feature of a dusty house - Shakespearean fairy" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and The Irish Times.
