Patons has many weights of Tweed wool, so look through the Paton link and see if you can find the specific wool you are looking for and have an answer that way.
Patons Jet Wool is a 10-ply yarn, which makes it a bulky weight yarn. This construction provides a thicker texture, making it suitable for quick knit or crochet projects, such as blankets and warm garments. Its composition typically includes a blend of wool and acrylic, offering warmth and durability.
Patons Shadow Tweed wool is a medium weight yarn that is classified as a 4-ply or worsted weight yarn. This yarn typically has a soft texture and is suitable for a variety of knitting and crochet projects, including garments and accessories. The tweed effect adds visual interest, making it a popular choice for textured patterns.
Patons Camelot wool is a worsted weight yarn with a soft texture, often used for garments and accessories. An equivalent yarn could be Red Heart Soft or Lion Brand Vanna's Choice, as they also offer a similar weight, softness, and range of colors. For a more luxurious option, Cascade 220 is a comparable choice, though it may have a slightly different fiber content. Always check the specific yardage and gauge to ensure compatibility for your project.
I searched and was unable to find Patons Camelot Wool. The best I can figure out is that you might be referring to Patons Kroy Socks FX in Camelot color. So, going by that thought, it would be a sock-weight yarn; or category 1 fingering weight yarn. Therefore having a ply of 4. If I've totally misunderstood what yarn you're asking about, I've attached some URLs which might help you to translate the information you have on the yarnband into ply.
If it is a blanket then you put it in the washing machine. You use cold water and wool laundry detergent. An alternative is to get it dry cleaned.
I have 16 balls of Azalea patonised knitting and crochet wool here and when I untwist it it becomes 2 strands....which in reading some of the other things about wool its actually 4 ply....now I am looking for a fairly plain simple knitting pattern to use it on.
Artificial wool, also known as faux wool or synthetic wool, is a man-made fiber designed to mimic the feel and look of natural wool. It is usually made from materials such as acrylic, polyester, or nylon, and is often used as a more cost-effective and cruelty-free alternative to traditional wool.
the alternative is using woolen bags because we will nearly always have sheep to provie the wool
llama actually give fiber ... wool has lanolin which can cause adverse reactions to some people with allergies .. but fiber does not making it a great alternative
