Today is St Distaff Day - Traditionally the first day back to work for spinners (and spinsters*) after the feast of Epiphany.
I for one will certainly be getting my wheel back into motion today, especially because I can't get out for my planned walk because we had yet more overnight snow.
So it is time to check out your fluff stash, plan your blends, gather up your singles for plying and get treadling for 2025!
*I intend to reclaim this word for myself - it is time it stopped meaning women "left on the shelf" because what validity does that have in these times when we lasses can choose our own paths in life? So spinster, one who spins, that's me!
