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.

So a tightly twisted cashmere yarn is called worsted cashmere. Just as a caution in case you are buying cashmere. There is a wool act which describes what type of wool is marked as cashmere.

What are the differences between worsted and woolen yarns in terms of their characteristics and uses, and how do these differences impact the quality of the final knitted or woven products?
Worsted yarns are smooth, strong, and have a tight twist, resulting in a more durable and less fuzzy fabric. They are often used for tailored garments and fine knits. Woolen yarns are softer, loftier, and have a more relaxed twist, creating a warmer and more insulating fabric. They are commonly used for cozy sweaters and blankets. The differences in yarn characteristics impact the final product's feel, drape, warmth, and appearance, influencing the overall quality of the knitted or woven item.

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).
