It means very thin.
Lowland Scots expression. It is a (usually derogatory) description of a skinny or thin person. It derives from reek - meaning smoke - and twa ply, or two ply, a description of very thin knitting wool. So a thin person is being likened to two ply smoke. Usage - "she's as skinny as twa ply reek!"

Can you knit a 8 ply pattern in 4 ply wool?
The difference between 8-ply and 4-ply wool, can depend on the weight of the plies. Some 3-ply yarns have heavy weight (fatter) plies, which knit up heavy worsted, where 2-ply lace weight yarn plies are much lighter (skinnier) plies that knit up very light/lacy/small.If I were to guess, the 8-ply in question, may have smaller plies than the 4-ply. I think if you double the 4-ply, that would be too much. You should try a gauge swatch using the 4-ply singularly, and maybe adust the needle size.
