How many wool soakers?

[Perogi]

I'm thinking that with this babe I will go virtually exclusively wool...So how many wool soakers/covers do you think I'll need in each size? Better get knitting now!! :) :heart

Hmmm... It depends. Are they going to double as clothing? If that's the case, IMO you would need more. I use only wool for Gwendolyn. We have 5 pair of shorts/capris and 9 soakers that I rotate regularly. I think that's more than enough, but I like having this many. Actually, wish I'd done more solid colors. The variegated ones are so pretty, but it's hard to match them with all her dresses. So, for winter, I plan on lot of solid pants and/or tops.

That just gives me an excuse to knit more!!! :) AND buy more wool!!!! :banana

Wow. I just use between 3-5 for clothes and covers. I am making her more due to a rather large shipment of Treliske I just got, though ;)

Yeah, four or five is plenty for us. I pick neutral colors that go with anything. Usually we use one a day, unless it gets soaked or dirty, and with four or five, I have enough that a couple can get dirty and I'm not in a pinch.
