What is spun yarn?
There are two basic techniques for spinning wool: woolen and worsted. In woolen spinning, the fibers are oriented perpendicular to the yarn being made, while in worsted spinning the fibers are oriented parallel to the yarn being made. Woolen fibers are carded, creating a fuzzier, softer yarn. Worsted fibers are combed creating a smoother, harder yarn. Woolen yarns are generally preferred by knitters while worsted yarns are generally preferred by weavers.

How many dk weight yarns to make a worsted weight yarn?
In general, dk and worsted mean much the same thing. Dk is used in the UK and worsted in the US. However, there is a lot of variation between brands. The best idea is to check the length and weight information on the ball bands. I do find that US worsted weight patterns make up well in dk, but I always have lots left over! http://www.theknittingsite.com/knitting-conversion-tables/

What is carding of yarn?
Since one cannot card yarn, I assume what you're talking about is yarn spun from wool that has been carded, as opposed to combed or simply not carded at all. Carding is the process of brushing the wool prior to spinning to remove debris and tangles and to orient the individual hairs in more or less the same direction. Carded fibers are typically spun into woolen yarns (which are soft and fluffy) and combed fibers are typically spun into worsted yarns (which are smoother and harder).
