Money just for textile (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cashmere

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

'money just' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'cash' (cash is a type of money).
'just' becomes 'mere' ('just' can mean 'mere' or 'only').
'cash'+'mere'='CASHMERE'

(Other definitions for cashmere that I've seen before include "Soft fabric made from goats' hair" , "Fine wool for a schemer" , "Fine soft wool for marchese" , "knitted garment" , "See charm (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
