    Join the North Peace Spinners and Weavers to mark St. Distaff’s Day at the Fort St. John North Peace Museum. This day traditionally marked the first day back to work following the twelve days of Christmas. In the Middle Ages, women of all classes resumed their spinning on this day, using a distaff and drop spindle. Learn about the techniques of spinning and weaving and discover the history of this celebration. Free admission. Call 250-787-0430 for more information.
