Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks That Rock Heavyweight: 350 yards per 198 gram ball
The Blue Moon Fiber Arts is 100% wool, the Trekking is 25% nylon, which explains some of the difference in weight per yard. The BMFA is also just a tiny bit thicker, but I get the same gauge with both on #3 needles.
So, if it takes me 79 grams of Trekking to make a pair of socks for myself, it should take me:
(427/150)*79 = about 225 yards
Multiply that by (198/350) = > 127.2 grams, or round to 128 grams, of BMFA to make a pair of socks.
I have parts of two skeins of BMFA under the bed. Is it enough?
--Quick check with the scale.--
YES! There are more BMFA socks in my future! Yay!

If your gauge is truly the same with both then the math bears out that you should be good with 128 gr of BMFA!!
