'woolliness' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.

I cannot really see how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mountain sheep that I've seen before include "Mouflon" , "being at a height? - with 7d" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
