    It takes about 6 pounds of roving - check out the FAQ link in the video description for more info!

    hello! i would really love to make that. it does look tiring, but fun. could there be an alternative for the yarn that you used because from where i live there is literally only one type of yarn and it is frustrating to always search for alternatives.

    I've only used the unspun wool roving to make these, but other have suggested you can use a lot of balls of yarn held together at the same time, or even use strips of fabric (like fleece). Hope that helps!

    That looks like so much fun.

    I would feel like I've been kidnapped and made to work in a giant's sweatshop.

    Definitely would like to try this.
