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!"
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.

The load range indicates the ply rating of the tire or the number of plys under the tread. A = 2 ply B = 4 ply C = 6 ply D = 8 ply E = 10 ply F = 12 ply G = 14 ply H = 16 ply J = 18 ply L = 20 ply M = 22 ply N = 24 ply This has a direct relation to the Load Index which tells you the weight the tire can carry. The more plys the more weight the tire can carry.
