Implement right inside cloth (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trowel

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

'implement' is the definition.
(I know that trowel is a type of hand tool)

'right inside cloth' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is present in the answer.
'cloth' could be 'towel' (towel is a kind of cloth) and 'towel' is found in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for trowel that I've seen before include "Small spade" , "Mortar-spreading tool" , "Spreading implement" , "Small garden hand-tool" , "Plastering tool" .)
