Tibetan monks said they might give you wool (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

llamas

'they might give you wool' is the definition.

'tibetan monks said' is the wordplay.
'tibetan monks' becomes 'lamas'.
'said' shows a homophone (sound like).
'lamas' is a homophone of 'LLAMAS'.

(Other definitions for llamas that I've seen before include "Sal and Mal for the animals" , "South American animals like the camel" , "South American cud-chewing animals" , "Andean pack animals" , "South American animals related to camels but humpless" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
