Greasy substance from woolly animals (7)

I believe the answer is:

lanolin

(Other definitions for lanolin that I've seen before include "something on the Fleece" , "Oil extracted from wool" , "Oil on sheep's wool" , "Yellow viscous oil from animals -- in on all (anag)" , "Ointment containing wool fat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
