Pindrafting

Pindrafting consists of aligning your fibers parallel after completion of the roving process for easier spinning. Pindrafted roving can be put into bumps which are usually 1# but can be made heavier. Pindrafted roving can also be loose which is coiled in a bag. Pindrafting charges are $2.90 a pound on finished weight.
