How to Create Braided Roving
When people sell rovings on Etsy, they always come in very pretty braids. As I started dyeing my own rovings, I wanted to explore the best ways to prettily store them. In the following to video tutorials, there are two different methods for creating roving braids: 1) By actually braiding the roving and 2) by crocheting the roving (looks like a braid). I learned how to "braid" the roving first, but then I learned from purchasing other braids that more people actually crochet them.

I think I like the crocheted roving better. I do that anyway if I'm tidying warp. With a traditional "braid" you need 3 strands. With crochet, you only need one.
ReplyDeleteThe first method I learned of braiding worked without breaking the strand, but the crochet chain is much faster and easier to work with.
