Ply refers to the number of strands a yarn is composed of. The term ply is misleading. Some people assume that the more plys a yarn has, the thicker it is. Not true. Some bulky yarns have only 2 plys and some multi-ply yarns are as thin as baby/fingering weight. It is better to look for yarn in terms of weight such as baby, sport, worsted, bulky, super-bulky. These refer to the thickness. This is also how most yarns are labeled.
Best Answer: FINE: SPORT WEIGHT, BABY YARN is listed as CATEGORY 2. A light weight yarn used for babywear, sweaters, and lighter throws. UK/Australia approximate equivalent: 8 ply. Sport weight yarn and DK (double knitting) weight yarn are often viewed as interchangeable, but they do have a slight difference. As you will see on the criteria listed with the icons to the right, sport weight yarn is a teeny bit lighter or finer than DK weight.
