One result of wool-gathering (5)
I believe the answer is:
skein
'one' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for skein that I've seen before include "Coil of wool - flock of geese" , "Birds flying" , "Hank" , "Clock face" , "Loosely-coiled bundle of wool" .)
