Spinzilla October 6-12, 2014
Spinzilla is a global event where teams and individuals compete in a friendly challenge to see who can spin the most yarn in a week!

Spinzilla is an event designed to increase education and awareness of hand spinning. Our goals for 2014 are:
  • To raise awareness about the joy of spinning yarn by hand, globaly
  • To empower spinners to spin more
  • To support small business
  • To fund educational programs for the spinners and weavers of tomorrow


Distaff Day, also called Roc Day, is 7 January, the day after the feast of the Epiphany. It is also known as Saint Distaff's Day, one of the many unofficial holidays in Catholic nations.

Many St. Distaff's Day gatherings were held, large and small, throughout local fiber community. The distaff, or rock, used in spinning was the medieval symbol of women's work.

In many European cultural traditions, women resumed their household work after the twelve days of Christmas. Women of all classes would spend their evenings spinning on the wheel. During the day, they would carry a drop spindle with them.
