It's #DistaffDay, traditionally when women got back to their textile work after the Christmas festivities (you know, because cooking, cleaning, childcare, etc aren't "real work"...). If you're a fellow textilist, what's on your spindle/bobbin/needle/hook/other tool of choice today?

Hooray! Hooray! It's #DistaffDay! Back to work! I was up at 3 so I've got most of the body of a cardigan finished. 2026 sees me staring my 4th year of #Crochet let's goooo! 🧶
You haven't seen much #crochet from me since Christmas it's because I traditionally take the time between Christmas and Epiphany off from yarn. I started learning to crochet on #DistaffDay 4 years ago (this year) and it's been a tradition I follow even though I'm not at all religious.
Good night Bluesky! I have an early morning tomorrow for a fiber festival in Orlando! #distaffday

Spinning wheel spindle with wool handspun.
Snowed in during GDQ week and Distaff Day.
Worse things certainly happen.
This is my #distaffday progress. I expect to finish off this fleece today. I have less than an ounce left
A medieval image of 5 women spinning yarn on spindles, each with a distaff to hold the unspun fiber.
Ah and it's #DistaffDay so I can't forget to do a bit of spinning. One of the reasons I love the dark tie of the year is I feel it's perfectly okay to zone out for a while at my wheel. #fibersky #handspinning #fiberart

Apparently today is #DistaffDay. That's an easy one! From "Silbereisen: Chronicon Helvetiae, Part I", 1576 Swiss (Aarau, Aargauer Kantonsbibliothek, MsWettF 16: 1)

to #DistaffDay, thank you @edithmayhall.bsky.social for the post and here's to a sunny January by our shores in Blighty for all that have resumed their working week.
Wishing all a great #January2025!
On #crochet hiatus until #DistaffDay 🧶
Does anyone have any suggestions for distaff day activities? I’d like to mark it somehow but am drawing a bit of a blank as I’ll be on the move so can only bring minimal spinning supplies with me (hence the pre-planning)
