Fabric clear of all deductions (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

net

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

This clue could be a double definition.

'fabric' is the first definition.
(I know that net is a type of fabric)

'clear of all deductions' is the second definition.
'net' can be an answer for 'clear' (as in net profit). I am unsure of the 'of all deductions' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for net that I've seen before include "It turns in every direction" , "Clear profit or gain" , "Open-mesh fabric" , "Mesh; profit" , "Meshed trap" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
