When some refers to a sweater being 9g 100% cotton 2/32nm 2 ply, what does it mean?
If it's knit too tight, there's no help for itYou might tumble it in a dryer without heat If it's wool or similar, there's a delicate balance to be maintainedWith a lace shawl, it might dampened and pinned to dry in stretched form or pinned dry and then steam-pressed and allowed to dry fully againIn my experience blocked and then crumpled is somewhat softer than straight-from-the-needles.
Wash it and use fabric softener
Fabric softener sheet - air tumble with the sheet in your dryer (NO HEAT)
beat it with rocks like the Indians did.
I don't know if the same applies to clothes as it does to sheets but this is what I know9g refers to the gram weight of the cotton fiber before spinning or weaving2 ply refers to to strands twisted together to create a thread or yarn before weavingSo, if you have a 2 ply yarn, it adds a weightyness( I know that's not really a word.lol) to the fabric giving it a stiffer feel1 ply or extra fine yarns add softness and a drapier hand(feel) to the fabricHope this helps a bit.
