Fine woollen cloth Irish found in Kentucky pool (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kerseymere

'fine woollen cloth' is the definition.
(type of cloth)

'irish found in kentucky pool' is the wordplay.
'irish' becomes 'erse' (old-fashioned term for the Irish language).
'found in' is an insertion indicator.
'kentucky' becomes 'ky' (abbreviation).
'pool' becomes 'mere' (mere can mean a lake).
'erse' inserted inside 'ky' is 'kersey'.
'kersey'+'mere'='KERSEYMERE'
