Worsted (US) is slightly thinner than aran (UK). Both are approximately equal to 10 ply (AU/NZ).

The term ‘worsted’ comes from a particular spinning method so it is possible to find worsted-spun DK yarn although this is relatively rare unless you’re buying hand spun yarn. Approximately 16-20 stitches per 4in/10cm on 4.5-5.5mm needles. This can vary slightly between manufacturers.
