Probably from dizen, dize (“to dress with flax for spinning”), equivalent to the first element of distaff.^[1]^[2]

Noun

diz (plural dizzes)

A tool, often a flat circle, with one or more holes for passing wool through to form roving of a specified thickness.
- 2014, Beth Smith, The Spinner's Book of Fleece, page 118:
  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.

Verb

diz (third-person singular simple present dizzes, present participle dizzing, simple past and past participle dizzed)

To pass wool through a diz.
