Brass Diz & Threading Hook from Majacraft
This beautifully finished unbreakable polished brass diz has three hole sizes - 1.5mm, 3mm, for fine through to coarse wools, and a 5mm for color blending.
The Majacraft diz is made in brass and has the holes that were cut with high pressure water. There are no burrs at all so the fiber will never catch and the brass has a low coefficient of friction so the fiber flows smoothly. The holes are very accurate so you can be sure your work will be precise.
The diz acts as a former to make a constant thickness sliver from carded or combed wool, while aligning fibers longitudinally. An essential for worsted spinning, and since it aligns the fiber can be used to revitalize an old fleece or to blend different wools.
