2. Roving - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roving

   A roving is a long and narrow bundle of fiber. Rovings are produced during the process of making spun yarn from wool fleece, raw cotton, or other fibres. Their main use is as fibre prepared for spinning, but they may also be used for specialised kinds of knitting or other textile arts.

3. Ring spinning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_spinning

   Ring spinning is a spindle-based method of spinning fibres, such as cotton, flax or wool, to make a yarn. The ring frame developed from the throstle frame, which in its turn was a descendant of Arkwright's water frame. Ring spinning is a continuous process, unlike mule spinning which uses an intermittent action.

4. Lopi (knitting) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lopi_(knitting)

   The fleece is made up of two layers, each with a different kind of wool. The wet-resistant outer coat contains long, coarse fibres, while the insulating layer beneath consists of soft, short fibres. These are processed together to create lopi roving and yarn. Lopi Yarn. The machine-carded roving is produced in disc-shaped rolls. This is the ...

5. Spinning (textiles) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinning_(textiles)

   The processes to make short-staple yarn (typically spun from fibers from 1.9 to 5.1 centimetres (0.75 to 2.0 in)) are blending, opening, carding, pin-drafting, roving, spinning, and—if desired—plying and dyeing. In long staple spinning, the process may start with stretch-break of tow, a continuous "rope" of synthetic fiber.

6. Cowichan knitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowichan_knitting

   The preparation of greasy wool demands several steps, and early procedures have been modified over the years. The oldest wool processing method followed by Cowichan women involved six basic steps: the wool was washed, dried, hand teased, hand carded, drawn out and loosely spun by hand to make a roving, then tightened with a spindle and whorl.

7. Textile manufacturing by pre-industrial methods - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_manufacturing_by...

   A pencil roving is a roving thinned to the width of a pencil. It can be used for knitting without any spinning, or for apprentices. Combing is another method to align the fibres parallel to the yarn, and thus is good for spinning a worsted yarn, whereas the rolag from handcards produces a woolen yarn.
