How to Diz a Batt into roving using a Majacraft Brass Diz

Fiberific! Ep#56 How to diz a batt, How to what a what now?
Do you want see how I make roving out of a batt? I use the Majacraft Brass Diz, its gorgeous looking and awesome to use too! Almost as gorgeous as Janet Day's Beautiful Batt - keep an eye out to get your own! myspinonthings.com.au/product-... Preparing our fibre for spinning can be just as enjoyable as the actual process of spinning, and the different Fibre Prep create different types of yarn. Using a drum carer helps to create a really nice woollen finish on the yarn. Turning that Batt into roving makes it easier to spin, or at least it does in my opinion. Personally I prefer a nice smooth batt to make a nice smooth yarn, but that is the charm of spinning our own fibre, we can all make just the yarn that we love or need for a particular project. So lets get on and make some roving to get our spin on
If you are within Australia or New Zealand you can buy your Diz from me! fiberific.com.au/product/maja...

I love your videos! I'm new to spinning and have been watch a LOT of videos about it! You're easy to listen to, direct and to the point and very concise. Thank you! I'll be watching more. Merry Christmas!

I know this video is six years old… but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ve only just gotten into spinning but am crawling down the rabbit of everything connected to spinning each time I have a few minutes. I’ve never tried my hand at dizzing but it seems like such a good method for fibre preparation that I now want my own diz. This gad me eyeing the pieces of coconut shell I have in the kitchen. Perhaps I can saw a piece into an oval and drill different sized holes in it. I’ve got a few bits I can use to smooth out the edges of the holes. The natural curve of the coconut shell should work nicely for a diz. Some rigorous sanding to get the outside smooth as well, and I should end up with a beautiful diz. Best part: I’ll have made it myself, and from something that would otherwise have ended up in the trash. Thank you for your video, you just gave me yet something more to try out! And if that diz turns out to work well, I might even make a second one for the friend who got me into spinning!

[@debbieb.4086]

Yes yes yes!!! More tutorials are such a lifesaver. Thank you so much for your time and effort.

[@Fiberific]

Thanks so much cheaper Debbie, for more discussion on crafty goodness check out our Facebook group, Fiberific Fun Zone.

[@tammyduplechin271]

Thanks for teaching me what a diz is! Beautiful work!

[@Laurie_in_Maine]

"Off you go!" may be the best outro ever. Relearning how to use my spinning tools after a long pause. So much time I was afraid I had forgotten everything I taught myself. Yesterday I spun for the 1st time in 2 years or more. It was very much like riding a bike but I still feel a bit wobbly! (Still looking for where I put my diz!)

[@Fiberific]

I am so happy to hear you are getting back on the bike!

[@WMB55]

Thank you for this inspiring video. I have never seen it done like that before. I've always dizzed it off the combs. But there are so many ways to do it!

[@MsFitz134]

more spinning/fiber videos are always welcome! this was wonderful, thank you.

[@Fiberific]

Thank you!!

[@perujive]

It is the first time I see this - was always wondering how it works- thank you! Awesome vid and I love the new hair do!!!

[@Fiberific]

+Anke Verhave thanks Anke!!

[@joan9569]

WOW! I've never seen this done before. Very interesting. Thank you. I live those colors. Didn't know that there was so much artistic choice involved in the process. Much appreciated. :)

[@leetravathan]

This is so helpful, as I did not know you could do it without using a hackle. Thanks! I went to her shop and it looks like, for now, she is all sold out.

[@melindaknolle5786]

This was great, thank you,,, I am learning all things fiber.

[@kathrynsampson8129]

Very clearly & interestingly explained/taught! Thank you!

[@Fiberific]

Glad it was helpful!

[@carolannbachofer7382]

Loved it!!

[@user-iw1hc8so6l]

8.10 Love what you.ve said about defeating the purpose. It.s so much true!

[@KimScullen]

loving your new 'do! and i'm glad you weren't talking about me when you say "diz". 😂

[@Fiberific]

that could change ;)

[@concettorametta9005]

Yes more spinning a fiber prep , plying ☀️thank you 🐏🐑🦙🐐🐏

[@Fiberific]

it's coming soon ;)

[@claudiaharbourt9370]

Oh My Word, I have found my Spirit Animal in you! While I do find ironing a guilty pleasure, watching you diz this batt was pure joy!

[@Fiberific]

Thank you Claudia!

[@ElHawk30]

I love this video, Chantelle! My husband (who is also crafty) is going to 3D print a diz for me :-)

[@aliciapalavecino6871]

HERMOSO . APRENDO MUCHO CON ESTOS VIDEOS . SALUDOS DESDE ARGENTINA !!!

[@Fiberific]

¡Gracias! ¡Estoy contento de poder ayudar! (Google translate helped me, I don't speak Spanish)

[@pampatterson5018]

Great watch,thankyou😊

[@Fiberific]

Thanks Pam!

[@kasanewell7863]

loved it. thanks again from a beginner..

[@Fiberific]

Thanks Kasa! I am glad I could help!

[@clarebartkowski4440]

Thanks Chantelle. I have no idea how to spin, but watching this, with your diz, is starting to niggle at me. I have 2 Ashford wheels that I purchased at flea markets years ago, I have no idea how to use them, but I do know I need belts(?) for them. Every time I see or hear of your spinning exploits I hear these wheels calling to me. Keep on with the videos and I may make the connection with them....if I find the time to fit it in. I do like your videos.

[@Fiberific]

+clare bartkowski thank you Clare!

[@natashaw1621]

How amazing! thanks for the video. I'd never considered the process that goes into the different fibre forms (ie, rolags, batts...)

[@Fiberific]

There are reasons for all the things ;)

[@pattijankowski5063]

Oh what fun!! thank you sooo much!! Been spinning since the 80's, still love it and I am older than dirt!! Love your videos! Keep on keeping on,

[@JunetteKeefe]

Thanks, Chantelle. I have a few of these batts from Janet and I have been wondering how to spin them and how to use my Majacraft diz. I am looking forward to seeing you spin the dizzed fibre.

[@Fiberific]

Thanks Junette! Janet's Batts are stunning! And I can't wait to spin, but I will hold off until Thursday ;)

[@Boozyewe]

New subscriber here. My diz is a milk bottle cap, it works great!. :)

[@Fiberific]

+Leanne Henninger Hi Leanne! Welcome to the group!!! My first diz was a button!! Lol we use what we have!!

[@knitspingirlcreations]

What gorgeous fibre! And dizzing a batt isn't something I would've thought of. I normally just tear strips off, predraft a little, and spin.

[@Fiberific]

We learn something new everyday ;)

[@ColMary95]

Thank you for this video on using a Diz. I have heard the term, but haven't seen it done. I have several art batts, that I think would be great to use with a Diz. Would like to see more videos from you on all aspects of spinning -- especially supported spindling.

[@Fiberific]

I am aiming to get more spinning vids over the coming months... slightly different set up needed, but I am getting there!

[@myvideoslist2228]

I love this video and fact I ordered this Diz even though I have two other diz. I would like to see the video of you spinning this roving but I can't find it. Thank you for the videos I truly enjoy them.

[@Fiberific]

+my videos list I used the Dizzed roving in a live stream kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4mYpHqaa898esk . Thank you so much for your comment, I really appreciate it.

[@itstoomuch569]

Preach sister!!!! We do this for the LOVEEEEEEE, if you're not loving it move on to something else :D xoxoxoxox This totally makes me want to find a beautiful batt to dis and spin from !

[@Fiberific]

Bring forth the Batts!

[@carolrought1113]

I found this video interesting I never seen anyone doing that with fiber I love the colors in it will be beautiful whatever made from it. So what will you do next with it?

[@Fiberific]

I spun it up in the Live Craft N Chat, today :0

[@lindaturgeon1618]

Thank you. I thought you needed to dip off a hackle! Anyway keep the videos coming.!

[@Fiberific]

You can use hackles, combs, direct from a drum carder and even batts. More vids on their way.😁

[@terryb8681]

Great video! Could the roving be used for needle felting?

[@Fiberific]

As long as you are using feltable fibres, you totally can!

[@nicoleranee11]

I watched this video while folding laundry (which I also detest). I've had an intimidating batt staring at me from my stash for about two months, thanks for making it less of a mountain! Now.....what to do with this pile of laundry....

[@Fiberific]

+Nicole Moore ugh mt foldmore. All I can suggest is a sheet ;) I am glad the vid helped with one thing at least
