    How to tell ply's

    Ok, so I guess you just mispoke earlier when you claimed that 4-ply means the same as 2x2. Don't sweat it; it happens to the best of us. I did manage to find a sample of H&S cloth that they call 4-ply, and I untwisted both warp and weft, and it is 2x2. There are no 4-ply yarns. But it's not...

    I only pointed out that 4-ply is not an accurate term to describe 2x2 cloth.  Ply refers properly to individual yarns. You are deliberately confusing these terms to suit whichever claim to happend to be making at a given moment.  First you cite 4-ply as a common term for 2x2.  It was pointed...

    Incorrect.  "Ply" refers only to individual yarns.  One fiber per yarn = one-ply.  Two = two-ply.  2x2 means that both warp (up & down) and weft (sideways) threads are two-ply.  4-ply would mean that each yarn is made of four fibers twisted together.  No mill that I know of...
