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.

Cashmere is a type of wool. Cashmere fibre is collected from cashmere goats. Worsted yarn is the tightly twisted woolen yarn spun from long-staple wool. 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. Look at RELATED LINKS SECTION for some interesting links which are worth reading about the topic.
