Silky material in African country changing hands (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

angora

'silky material in african country changing hands' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for angora that I've seen before include "Goat prized for its long silky hair" , "Fabric made from goat or rabbit hair" , "Name of goat yielding 10 across" , "Fur of rabbit - hair of goat" , "Cloth from the soft hair of a goat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
