You don't buy socks by the yard, though, do you?

What about a carpet?
That makes sense. Why didn't I think of it?

Right, this time I don't know the answer myself, actually. It's from the same book:

"My first is a vessel, my second revered
First's round as a penny, second wears a beard
And my first holds my whole, neither wine nor wealth,
Which keeps my second in good health"

I think they should both be part of one word. But to tell you the truth, I haven't got the faintest idea...

It's a tricky one - the second bit is "revered" so probably not a face - I was thinking God or something for the beard, but I'm not sure, because round vessels don't tend to contain God or keep him in good health.

What about pottage? Would that make any sense?
