Most 4-ply yarns are medium-weight, which may carry the name worsted weight yarn.
Ply is a complicated thing. Thickness and ply of yarn is different depending on where the yarn is manufactured. In the U.S. worsted weight is generally 4 ply.
The number of plies is not always an indication of weight, however. It is just tells you how many strands are used in that type of yarn.

How does US worsted classification 4 compare with UK yarns in knitting?
See http://www.YarnStandards.com for how the categories of yarn weights compare in terms of relative gauges and needle sizes used to achieve those gauges. Worsted weight (Category 4 - Medium) is the yarn commonly used to knit sweaters in the U.S. U.K. knitters often use a slightly thinner yarn called "DK" (double knitting), which falls into Category 3 - Light. Worsted weight yarn is typically knit at 20 sts/4 in or 10 cm on US 7/4.5mm needles, whereas DK weight yarn is typically knit at 22 sts/4 inches or 10 cm on US 5/3.75mm needles. Some countries still use the old 2-ply, 4-ply, 6-ply, 8-ply classification to describe yarns, where 4-ply is fingering weight, 6-ply is sport weight, 8-ply is DK, and 10-ply is worsted weight. One problem with that system of classification is that it assumes a standard ply weight. There are many yarns these days (particularly in the Bulky and Super Bulky categories 5 and 6) that are single-ply yarns which knit at various gauges on various needle sizes.
