Examples

“A diz is a tool that helps you remove fiber from a comb and create a nice length of top that is a consistent thickness and ready to spin. Many dizzes have holes of varying sizes, so that you can choose the size most appropriate for the yarn you intend to spin: a large hole for bulky yarn, a smaller hole for finer yarn.”
