Roving is the wool after it has been sheared from the sheep, cleaned and carded. Wet felting is taking that fuzzy wool and laying it down on a flat surface, wetting it with warm soapy water and adding friction which turns it in to felt. It is quite a process, simple but a little messy. I will be putting up a blog post soon to show how I did this but you can research it on line. Many ways to wet-felt the roving.
