Notes

Use the 19g remaining from the brown contrast skein (originally 29g) for toe and heel. Should get this and another pair of these socks out of the main yarn (quantity shown above) if I use 10g per sock for toe and heels with brown (not entered into my stash separately)…

These knit up very snug and took only 25g of yarn. Next time you use TurtlePurl, consider going up a needle size or making the sock 64st to start…I have 15g of the brown contrast skein left. I have 79 g of the striped (main) yarn left, which means I used 21g for the sock… That means I used up ~4-5g of the brown contrast for this sock.

I’ve got 11g of the brown left for the next pair of socks.

130g included the brown sock contrast mini, which means

These socks took 54 g total for both socks - including ~5g per sock for toe and heel. So likelihood is that each sock took 22g of the main colour. I have 27g of each main skein left so I should be able to get a 64st sock (given how tight these knit up) out of the remaining 54g of main yarn (plus 11g of contrast).

05-12-2020

In the end, I have:
54g of the main colour (stripes) - 27g per sock PLUS
11g of the contrast colour (brown) - of which I previously used ~4g per sock to make toe and heel.

This should be enough to make another pair of 64st on US1.
