Roving yarn refers to a type of fiber preparation used in spinning, characterized by a loose, elongated bundle of fibers that has been carded but not yet spun into a tight yarn. This form allows for easier handling and manipulation, making it ideal for spinning into various yarn types, including bulky or textured yarns. Roving yarn is often used in hand-spinning and can also be found in some commercial yarns for knitting and weaving.
