Neat bit of carpet I dyed (4)
I believe the answer is:
tidy
'neat' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'bit of carpet i dyed' is the wordplay.
'bit of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'TIDY' is hidden within 'carpet i dyed'.
(Other definitions for tidy that I've seen before include "Large" , "Receptacle for odds and ends" , "Neat; sizeable (sum)" , "Set in order" , "generous" .)
