Is medium weight yarn equal to 4 ply yarn?
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.

In the UK, worsted weight yarn corresponds to 10ply (i.e. heavy DK or light aran 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.
Is double knitting heavier or lighter than 2 ply wool?
Double knitting is also called sport weight yarn and is not as thick as worsted weight. 2 ply wool is thinner than double knitting and is usually used for making socks.
Can you knit a 8 ply pattern in 4 ply wool?
The difference between 8-ply and 4-ply wool, can depend on the weight of the plies. Some 3-ply yarns have heavy weight (fatter) plies, which knit up heavy worsted, where 2-ply lace weight yarn plies are much lighter (skinnier) plies that knit up very light/lacy/small.If I were to guess, the 8-ply in question, may have smaller plies than the 4-ply. I think if you double the 4-ply, that would be too much. You should try a gauge swatch using the 4-ply singularly, and maybe adust the needle size.
What is the difference between sport weight and worsted weight yarns?

What does tire load range mean?
The load range indicates the ply rating of the tire or the number of plys under the tread. A = 2 ply B = 4 ply C = 6 ply D = 8 ply E = 10 ply F = 12 ply G = 14 ply H = 16 ply J = 18 ply L = 20 ply M = 22 ply N = 24 ply This has a direct relation to the Load Index which tells you the weight the tire can carry. The more plys the more weight the tire can carry.
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/
Is DK weight smooth yarn 8 ply?
