No. In general lower GG will be a higher ply number, a more weighted garment. In general 1 ply to be as warm as possible because of its light weight it is made by higher GG. You can have low gauge with low ply number but its not sustainable from profit margins. Nowadays a high GG with 1 ply are in many countries the go for knit for all seasonsIt seems quite contradictory: is it possible to have a low gauge but tightly knit sweater? I can figure in increasing the number of plies.
