Just after money for wool (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cashmere

'for wool' is the definition.
(cashmere is a kind of wool)

'just after money' is the wordplay.
'just' becomes 'mere' (I've seen this in other clues).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'money' becomes 'cash' (cash is a type of money).
'mere' after 'cash' is 'CASHMERE'.

(Other definitions for cashmere that I've seen before include "See charm (anag)" , "Expensive wool? Search me" , "Soft fabric made from goats' hair" , "Soft wool - search me (anag)" , "Soft fabric made from the wool of a goat" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
