Distaff Day, also called Roc Day or Rock 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.
As you can see, this lap pad was given to spinners when they attended 2004 Roc Day or St. Distaff Day
I've used this so many times, it's a mess! But, a good mess it is! lots of wool fibers were combed on this lap towel--one of the best give aways of all times. Even though Roc Day is to be celebrated on January 7 it would be celebrated on the Saturday the closest to the date.
Norman Kennedy is one of our favorite spinners with the most knowledge of the craft!
we loved when he stayed the winter in Louisiana! Such times we had learning from
each other as we gathered around our spinning wheels to begin our tasks at hand after
the winter break.
Happy Roc Day spinners!
