Needlepoint.com's latest blog posting considers the question of plying threads.
You may want to bookmark their "Thread Tips" article as it recommends the number of plies or strands to be used on either 13 or 18 count canvas. Please note that this will vary according to your stitch tension, the stitch you are using, and the look you want. It pays to do some testing in the margins of your canvas first. That's really the only way you will be certain that you use the number of plies or strands that will work for your situation.
