Crossword Genius

One doing weaving with dye (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

indigo

'dye' is the definition.
(indigo is a kind of dye)

'one doing weaving' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'weaving' indicates an anagram.
'doing' is an anagram of 'ndigo'.
'i'+'ndigo'='INDIGO'

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for indigo that I've seen before include "Deep dark blue" , "Blue/violet dye" , "type of dye" , "Sixth rainbow colour" , "Violet-blue dye" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
