| At the other end of the process of manufacture, there were merchants who organized the ginning and bowing of the raw cotton and sold the rovings to the spinners. |
| The women would then spin these rough rovings into yarn wound on a spindle. |
| The lives of the voyageurs are passed in wild and extensive rovings, in the service of individuals, but more especially of the fur traders. |
| Its success was limited in that it required the rovings to be prepared on a wheel, and this was limited by the need to card by hand. |
| Carding completed the disentangling process, creating rolls of wool called rovings. |
| Asphalt emulsion finds a more general use as a tackifier to hold rovings and straw in place. |
