What does stockinette stitch look like in lace weight yarn?

Lace weight yarn just means it is really thin. So unless you have a lacy pattern in your knitting you won’t get a lacy result. I’m from Australia and we name our needle sizes based on millimeters so I’m not sure what size 000 is, but I assume it’s small. So Stockinette Stitch will look fine. A useful tip is to check the ball band of the yarn, it will give you a needle size that works best with that yarn. But I do find sometimes if the yarn was made to be used with larger needles, like quite a few lacy weight yarns, the size of the needle suggested is deceptive. So If you have a gauge tester thingo, with holes to check the size of needles, put thread the yarn through the hole of the 000 needle hole on the gauge thingo twice, if the yarn doesn’t move smoothly through, the end knitted result will be too tight, if it’s too loose then the end result will be too loose. It’s a bit of trial and error and I’m not sure you understood a lot of what I was trying to say, but give it a try and if it
