There are two meanings for 'ply' with wool. Some wool manufacturers use the term ply to describe the weight of the wool. A 2 ply is a very fine baby wool whereas a 16 ply is a chunky or heavy weight yarn. The other meaning is the number of threads the yarn consists of. For example to a hand spinner a 2 ply means a yarn that has two single threads 'plied' together to form one length of yarn.
