If you're knitting with roving yarn, the considerations are much like with any kind of bulky or super bulky yarn. Knitting with roving is a lot of fun because the projects work up so quickly and the personality of the fiber really shines through because it's so loosely spun.Â

You need to take special care to not split the yarn as you knit.nIt's often best to use needles that have a duller tip. Choose bamboonneedles rather metal.nn

Projects worked with roving can get heavy really fast. Even if youndon't need a circularnneedle for the pattern, you might want to use one to knit backnand forth. This will take some ofnthe weight off your wrists as you knit.Â
