Winding Down
II nartly work and partly play, must ye on St Distaff s
MDay,” goes the old adage for the day following the
I Twelve Days of Christmas, though St Distaff’s
Day, always January 7 and the day after Epiphany, was
when women were supposed to get back to their spin
ning after the holidays. A distaff is a spindle for holding
the flax or wool in spinning, and in the
glee of St. Distaffs Day, the men would k AX7V
often playfully prevent their wives
from starting their work by trying to y|f\7rUr
burn the flax off the distaff. The
distaff has come to symbolize the
domestic sphere, hence the term ■''
“the distaff side” refers to women.
Yule is come and Yule is gone, and we have
feasted well; so Jack must to his flail again,
and Jenny to her wheel.
Store your woolens with dried lavender, pennyroyal
leaves, or cedar chips to repel moths.
