These socks I made for a friend of mine as a birthday present. I used Slovenian yarn which was slightly different from Finnish seitsemän veljestä yarn that I usually use. The ball of wool I got was the same size as the one in Finland, but the difference was that it was 1/3 thicker than the one I was used to. So instead of 150g I got 100 grams. It also mixed up my usual numbers of starting loops in the sock, so after a while of knitting I realised that this is way too big sock for a woman with this number of loops per knitting layer. So I had to took it apart for couple of times before I finally got the right sized sock.

I used 44 loops per knitted layer. If anyone else will ever come across with similar type of wool which is 33% thicker than normally used, now they will know the scale of new loops. It doesn't go along with the percentage of 33%, then it will be too small for normal sized lady foot (38/39). For example if I usually use 48 loops, it won't be 33% less loops (=33 loops). The more closer number of loops to be used is 44 that I used to reach the same size of shoe size. It took a while to find it out so I decided to write it down if anyone else has a trouble with the same issue.

The wool I used is called Nika. It is 20% wool and 80% acryl. It can be washed in a washing machine in 30 decrees of Celsius.
