Rams relatives in ugg boots (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sheepskin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ugg boots' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'rams relatives' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'relatives' could be 'kin' (kin can mean relatives or family) and 'kin' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sheepskin that I've seen before include "leather" , "Fleece garment" , "Body covering of an ovine mammal" , "coat" , "Ovine outer layer used in coats and rugs" .)
