Roving Dreads Tutorial

Published:

Description

Just a simple tutorial for making roving dreads. this is fairly easy to do, but hopefully this will be of use to someone :)

You can buy roving in loads of different colours from ebay, it's fairly cheap (about £3.00 for 100 grams) I use merino wool tops. Roughly 100 grams of roving, divided into 1 metre lengths & split into 4 gives you approx 16 single ended or 32 double ended dreads, I find that enough for ONE dread fall. To make two i'd suggest buying 200/300 grams of roving.. But I like my dreads full & thick so I normally use 400 grams!

Please see my Synthetic Dreads Tutorial on how to make synth dreads!

can you use normal wool, if you don't have roving?
