Constructor's Note
Good luck with 2-Down -- your ears may really need to squint! A key clue there is in the last word of the limerick...

      1A
      In cool weather, you might wear it a lot. / It warms you with each yarny knot. / Ah, but with the summer "on fire", / You've no choice but to perspire. / You're this yourself when it's humid and hot.

        In cool weather, you might wear it a lot. / It warms you with each yarny knot. / Ah, but with the summer "on fire", / You've no choice but to perspire. / You're this yourself when it's humid and hot.
      2. 5A
        This genre of Penny and Stout / Is one bookstores can't do without. / It sounds like a name to use / For Mr. Euschaeteneuz / Since the pronunciation might be in doubt.
      3. 6A
        This hueless one in the mix / Gets hit with competitors' sticks. / The solid, rolling sphere / Has an important job here: / To knock in, say, a four or a six.
      Down
      1. 1D
        The dried fruit from this type of shrub / Can be ground into spice for your grub. / The "poison" type's hardly a joke, / That shrub is like poison oak. / Best not to give those leaves a rub!
      2. 2D
        The phrasing might be hard to swallow / And excuses for the grammar might sound hollow, / But here goes: "Ian? Is you he?" / If you let your ears "squint", you might see / That it spells out a 5-letter word. Follow?
      3. 3D
        "The Taming of the Shrew" / And the book "The Tao of Pooh" / Start with this same letter. / ( To solve, you had better / Think Greek as you ponder this clue.)
      4. 4D
        Ol' Roy, well, he knows how to sing, / And Al plays guitar with some zing. / Each one on their own / Might remain an unknown / But together, they're fit for a king!
