Pal moved about with a wool producer (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alpaca

'wool producer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'pal moved about with a' is the wordplay.
'moved' indicates an anagram.
'about' becomes 'ca' (short for circa).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'pal' anagrammed gives 'alp'.
'ca' after 'a' is 'aca'.
'alp'+'aca'='ALPACA'

(Other definitions for alpaca that I've seen before include "creature of the Andes" , "woolly character?" , "Wool-yielding camelid" , "Llama relation" , "(Woollen cloth from) relative of llama" .)

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