All in one piece, we mend holes in your socks
$begingroup$
All in one piece, we mend holes in your socks.
Minus a head, we're yours, skewed.
Minus a tail, we hold drinks on the rocks.
Minus another, we're you.
Minus our next head, we're nothing but us.
Minus our last tail, we're twice what you're just.
What are we?
