it depends on the ply. such as two ply or one ply.
There are two breeds of goat that produce fibre - mohair is produced by Angora goats and Cashmere goats produce cashmere.
It means very thin. Lowland Scots expression. It is a (usually derogatory) description of a skinny or thin person. It derives from reek - meaning smoke - and twa ply, or two ply, a description of very thin knitting wool. So a thin person is being likened to two ply smoke. Usage - "she's as skinny as twa ply reek!"
My guess would be because a 2 ply paper towel has two layers instead of one.
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.
