Unfelted Roving
If you just knit up the roving as it is it will shed EVERYWHERE! The bad news does not stop there, it also falls apart fairly easily. If you tug on your blanket to hard you may notice some of the roving actually pulling apart and your knit slowing being destroyed.
How do you keep roving yarn from shedding?
Once you complete your knitting, the best way to combat shedding yarn is to wash the project (if it's a washable yarn). Usually, hand washing in a gentle detergent, and drying the piece with the air-dry setting of your dryer for around 10 or 15 minutes will work.
Why is roving yarn bad?
Roving has no twist by nature (it's meant to be spun into yarn!) so it therefore has no structure. This means it has very poor resistance to abrasion.
