Arolag(Scottish Gaelic:roileag) is a roll of fibre generally used tospinwoollenyarn. A rolag is created by firstcardingthe fibre, usinghandcards,and then by gently rolling the fibre off the cards. If properly prepared, a rolag will be uniform in width, distributing the fibres evenly. The word derives from the Scottish Gaelic word for a small roll.[1]
Animal fibreshave traditionally been used to create rolags, but today's spinners use many different fibre materials, including manufactured andplant fibres.
