Money just for wool (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cashmere

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

'money just' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'cash' (I've seen this before).
'just' becomes 'mere' (I've seen this in other clues).
'cash'+'mere'='CASHMERE'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for cashmere that I've seen before include "Product of fleecing operation" , "Fine wool for a schemer" , "Soft fabric made from goats' hair" , "Soft wool of a type of goat" , "Soft wool - search me (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
