Saturday, February 3rd is St. Blaise's Day. However, that's the same day as our Nutmeg Spinners' Guild Bi-annual Auctlon. Therefore, we will be honoring St. Blaise on Sunday February 4th.

St. Blaise is the patron saint of wool combers.

Saint Blaise, was a physician, and bishop of Sebastea in historical Armenia (modern Sivas, Turkey). According to the Acta Sanctorum, he was martyred by being beaten, attacked with iron combs, and beheaded. He is the patron saint of wool combers.

I will be honoring him by spinning combed top in public. If you are in the area, I would love it if you'd join me! I will be at

It's a Grind

I know that many of you are too far away to join us in person. Please join us in spirit, comment and tell us what you will be spinning, and share a picture or two!! ;D
