how many skeins?

For those buying their pal Louet Gems and one of these patterns- Thelonious, Mona, Flicker, how many skeins are you buying?


A couple patterns say 2 skeins are needed and maybe third for a longer foot, but what's considered a longer foot? My pals foot length is around 9 1/2 inches and I'm trying to decide on 2 or 3 skeins of Louet Gems.

My foot is that long and I usually have yarn left over.

My foot is 9.75" and 2 skeins of Louet is enough for a pair of socks. It probably depends on leg length as well as foot length. Thelonius looks like it's got a long leg.

I agree that two is enough unless they like a really long leg length
