Umm, not to put too fine a point on it, but you're always buying "by the unit."
If someone sells by the yard, you're buying by the unit of a yard. If you buy say, 1-1/2 yards, you're buying 1.5 units. If you buy 1-1/4 yard, you're buying 1.25 units. Pricing is always done by the unit, no matter what the unit is, or what it's called. The only difference is if the seller sells partial units, or not.
