What is the difference of double yarn and single knitting yarn?
"Double knit," refers to the weight or thickness of the yarn. Double knit is between sport weight and worsted weight. It is named for the knitting technique that most often calls for this weight: double knitting. Double knitting is the knitting of a two sided fabric that is reversable with a two color pattern on one side and the negative of that pattern on the reverse side. It is called double knitting because both sides are knit at the same time on one set of needles. "4 ply" refers to the number of individual strands twisted together to form a yarn. A yarn with two strands is called "2 ply," and so on. The number of plies determines, to a degree, the fluffiness or smoothness of a yarn. Yarn with more plies is generally smoother and less fluffy. The number of plies does not determine the weight or thickness of the yarn. It is possible to have a double knit yarn that is also 4-ply, or to have a thicker yarn that is has more or fewer plies. The same is true with a thinner yarn.

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 use two strands of double knit for chunky?
Yes. It isn't the number of plies that determine whether a yarn is called DK (double knitting weight), but the over all thickness of the yarn. Plus, you don't necessarily have to use DK yarn to double knit. Any two yarns of matching thickness can be used. You should check your pattern for the correct gauge and weight of yarn to make sure the finished garment will fit as expected.
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.
