    We report the experimental details of how mechanical detwinning can be implemented in tandem with high-sensitivity nuclear magnetic resonance measurements and use this setup to measure the in-plane anisotropy of the spin-lattice relaxation rate in underdoped Ba(Fe1−xCox)2As2 with x=0.048. The anisotropy reaches a maximum of 30% at TN, and the recovery data reveal that the glassy behavior of the spin fluctuations present in the twinned state persist in the fully detwinned crystal. A theoretical model is presented to describe the spin-lattice relaxation rate in terms of anisotropic nematic spin fluctuations.
