Yarn FAQs

What is ply in yarn?

Some yarns may state a ply, while others do not. Simply put, it's a term used to describe the weight or thickness of the yarn strand. "Ply" is a term most commonly used in Australia and New Zealand, and traditionally references the number of threads used in the strand of yarn. For example, 8 ply = 8 threads per strand. With yarn being manufactured with a variety of processes and fibre compositions, an 8-ply yarn can look very different from brand to brand, and as such, is not always a reliable metric for finding the right yarn to suit your project.
