This roving was tightly braided as roving into a 3-strand braid. The braids were then washed in hot water and dried to felt the braids. The braids were then laced with waxed linen thread in the traditional way my grandmother braided rugs using old wool suits.

This roving, that I bought from a local farm (Walks Far Acres), was handspun by me and then plied into a 8-strand cable yarn. Three of the 8-strand cable yarns were then braided (as you would your hair) into a continuous oval that I then laced using waxed linen thread in the traditional method used by my grandmother (who braided rugs using old wool suits).
