Today is Distaff Day! This is traditionally the day on which spinning would resume after the holiday season in Medieval Europe. I'm not one for the old feast days except when it's fun, but it's a great day to note that my handspun thread is now available from @trickstersapoth!

A pale skinned hand holds a hand distaff and spindle in front of a scenic river in a sunny forest. The distaff holds naturally white wool tied with a red ribbon, while the spindle holds spun thread and a bright blue whorl.

Yeah so that worked really well I'd like to grow my presence online in order to get my name in front of more faces. I don't have much of a following, but as I'm getting more into performance and trying to market my work, I'm finding that having a more consistent presence could be really helpful
