The kind of stockings I sell? (5)
I believe the answer is:
lisle
'the kind' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'stockings i sell?' is the wordplay.
'i sell' anagrams to 'LISLE'.
But, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lisle that I've seen before include "Twisted yarn" , "Strong tightly twisted cotton thread" , "Pedestrianised city" , "Fine cotton thread used in stockings" , "Type of cotton yarn" .)
