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).
