This diz was handcrafted with polymer clay, no molds involved. Baked for durability, sanded for ultra-smooth surface, & a light glaze applied. The hole sizes are 1/4", 3/16", & 1/8".
It comes with a coordinated, beaded threader. It has a monofilament loop that fits easily through all of the diz holes. The threader should always be removed with the lobster claw clasp before use.
All wire, chain & findings are made of copper.
The diz is approx. 1 1/2" & the threader is approx. 3" long (not including the mono loop).
The last photo shows a DIZ in use.
What is a DIZ?
A diz is used in the final step of combing fibers for spinning. You can diz off of combs, hackles & even a drum carder. The hole in the diz controls how much fiber can come through at one time -- it gets all bunched up and hard to pull, if you are pulling too much through. So, it does control the thickness of the resulting top.
You can still draft it out finer in spinning, and dizzed top usually drafts very easily, if you want a finer yarn.
