Crossword Genius

Strip - of sheepskin (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fleece

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'strip' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'sheepskin' is the second definition.
(I know that sheepskin can be written as fleece)

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for fleece that I've seen before include "Charge too much" , "Defraud in woolly way" , "Woollen coat of sheep" , "Rook; animal's coat" , "Covering" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
