Ashford Diz Stick with Yarn Gauge

Turn a beautiful blended batt into smooth, even, ready-to-spin sliver with this clever little Ashford Diz Stick. Draw your fibre through one of the three graduated holes and the cloud of colour settles into a controlled ribbon that is wonderfully easy to spin.

Made from lacquered beech hardwood, the long handle keeps your knuckles comfortably clear of carder cloth. The built-in yarn gauges—1cm and 1in—also make it quick to check wraps per centimetre or wraps per inch.

Why it earns its place beside the carder

• Three hole sizes for different sliver thicknesses
• Built-in 1cm and 1in yarn gauges
• Smooth lacquered beech hardwood
• Comfortable reach for use with drum carders and blending boards

It is a small tool with a rather lovely effect: more consistency at the wheel, cleaner colour transitions and fibre preparation that feels calm and intentional.
