fineness, finesse

Fineness or fineness means the state or quality of something that is of the best, free from imperfections, or made of minute particles; thin or slender--
"You're ageless, timeless, lace and fineness..."
I'm not sure we can find a match for the fineness of the thread; this is an antique.

Finesse or finesse means a great degree of skill, delicacy, or subtlety--
He'll need a lot of finesse to pull this off.
He has years of experience, and now he fixes dents with finesse.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"You'll need to find someone with skill and finesse to match the fineness of this work."
