I put a little twist in the fiber so it rolls up easier and there is more definition to the top so I can find the end better. It also helps to keep it from breaking, hand combed top is much more airy and fluffy than mill combed top which is dense in comparision.

@outsidethebox3  I've noticed that when you don't put in a twist, the fibers get static-y and don't want to come off in a roving. The roving strip will just break and then it's hard to find the end. Beth might know more though.

Can you please tell me why you have to put twist in your fiber when you're rolling it up?
