Wraps per inch - how to find out the ply of your yarn
Like so many knitters and crocheters, I have a stashes of yarn squirrelled away in boxes and bags in multiples corners of the house. Inevitably, labels get damaged or lost and then you end up with a pile of yarn and no idea what ply it is. Ply is the term used to describe the thickness of the yarn, which can be very thin such as cobweb/lace weight, all the way up to super bulky thick yarn.
