Money only for wool (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cashmere

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

'money only' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'cash' (cash is a type of money).
'only' becomes 'mere' (I've seen this in another clue).
'cash'+'mere'='CASHMERE'

(Other definitions for cashmere that I've seen before include "Fine wool for a schemer" , "fine material" , "A schemer in expensive wool" , "Soft fabric made from the wool of a goat" , "Fabric from fine goat's wool" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
