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.
My guess would be because a 2 ply paper towel has two layers instead of one.
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!"
cashmere
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.
It is Plies.
