how much BFL/silk top she needs to get to make a decent sweater.
February Lady calls for about 20 oz of worsted weight. Maybe I should get six 4-oz braids??
I've heard that 2 lbs of fiber is about enough for a sweater but it depends on how thick you spin it. I'd get a little more than that...
... to experiment with thickness, plying, swatching, etc before spinning the real thing. Have fun!
