Search me roughly for fine material (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cashmere

'fine material' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'search me roughly' is the wordplay.
'roughly' indicates an anagram.
'search'+'me'='searchme'
'searchme' anagrammed gives 'CASHMERE'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for cashmere that I've seen before include "Soft fabric made from goats' hair" , "Soft wool - search me (anag)" , "Expensive wool? Search me" , "Product of fleecing operation" , "A schemer in expensive wool" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
