English term
wrapping his washing up in the "half sox"
What does it mean? Does it mean that he washes his half pair of socks after the other clothes, so completes his washing?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

@Adrian Liszewski thank you for your supporting comment.
'sox' is of course just an alternate (and usually jocular or commercial) way of writing 'socks'.
Given the period of this text (i.e. not modern), I'd be very surprised indeed if 'wrapping up' meant 'completes his washing' — I think it is much more likely that he is attempting to tie together this quite small bundle of laundry using the lone sock. I don't think he's got to the point of actually doing it yet... in fact, he may be wrapping it up specifically so he can take it to, say, the laundry.
