A 'rolag' is a roll of fiber generally used to spin woolen yarn. A rolag is created by first carding the fiber, using handcards, and then by gently rolling the fiber off of the cards. If properly prepared, a rolag will be uniform in width, distributing the fibers evenly.[1]
Animal fibers have traditionally been used to create rolags, but today's spinners use many different fiber materials, including manufactured and plant fibers.
