The REAL History Behind Distaff Day!

Let's learn about the possible origins of Distaff Day by learning about some very old folk tales. It's a day for spinners, and the real history behind Distaff Day might be older than you think! Join me while I spin my yearly Distaff Day skein of yarn which includes a little bit of all my previous year's projects...using a distaff of course! We are going to spin some tales and spin some yarn! Grab your distaff, and let's Get Spinning! ❤ Support The JillianEve Channel by leaving a tip for Evie through Ko-Fi - https://ko-fi.com/evie_jillianeve You can also support JillianEve by using the affiliate links below.
