The message
from Mike Hardie contains these words:

Can you knit with thread in the knitting machine? I need to create a
sheer lace material

I made a tuck lace scarf using one strand of lurex and one strand of
silky, you can't get much finer than that, but I would not describe it
as sheer lace, if you contact me direct I could scan the picture and
send it to you so that you can see if it's what you have in mind.
