January 7th is National Distaff Day! The origin of the word ‘distaff’ comes from German and it means “a bunch of flax or fibers connected with a staff.” This day, also known as St. Distaff Day, is the day after the feast of the Epiphany, which is the day after the end of the 12 days of Christmas. Distaff Day is the day spinners and spinsters, historically, returned to their spinning wheels spinning wool and flax into yarn for fabric after the holidays.

This is a video I made a couple of years ago to show different ideas for holding a long distaff. It's not an exhaustive list by any means, you could tie the distaff to the back of a dining chair or support it in your jeans pocket, front or back. And probably the most common way is to slip it through your belt. But if you are having difficulty with one method, experiment with another and eventually you should find the way which suits you best. . #distaffspinning #HeritageCraft #handspinning | A D
