How much ply is Alpaca sport weight wool?
The number of plies is independent of the weight or fiber content of the yarn. It is possible to have a single ply super bulky like Brown Sheep's Burly Spun, or something like the 8 ply fingering weight on my sock needles right now. If you want to know the plies in a specific yarn, we'd need to know the brand name and yarn name.
How many yards in a skein of yarn?
There is no hard and fast number that I could give you as an answer. It all depends on what the yarn is made of, what "weight" the yarn is (sock versus bulky, for example). So, as asked, this isn't really an answerable question--there is too much unknown about your yarn to answer with any certainty. My best suggestion would be to go to the yarn manufacturers website and look there for your answer. Or, go back to where you purchased the yarn, and ask there.

How many yds in 750g in yarn?
There is approx. 150 yards in 50 grams of WORSTED weight yarn so approx 2250 yards in 750g. That is very approximate as different yarns weigh differently and contain different yard amounts in a skein. If you are asking about fingering, sport or chunky weight, the answer would be different.
What is worsted weight yarn?
The common suggestion is to substitute two strands of sport weight for 1 strand of worsted weight. However, everyone's tension is different. If your pattern has a gauge, I would suggest you crochet a small swatch and see if the gauge matches, using your tension. If it is too large, there are other variations you can try. 1 strand of fingering or sock yarn with 1 strand of sport or DK yarn, for example. Of course, that would necessitate having or buying more yarn.
