Many of the modern yarns don't fall into the ply system but to give you an idea on the thickness of these yarns, I have listed them below from thin to thick, and grouped them into the ply they are closest too.

If you are going to mix and match patterns and yarns, remember to always check your tension/gauge first. If the yarn you use doesn't match the tension/gauge the pattern was written for, then the knitted item could be the wrong size and fit.
