Since 1937 and a pro labour Broadway play Pins and Needles day has been observed.
Pins and Needles Day might not have its origins in what you think! Though when we say ‘pins and needles’ today, you’ll think of that tingly feeling you get when your leg goes to sleep, the original Pins and Needles Day started up in 1937 to commemorate the opening of the pro-Labor musical play of the same name on Broadway. The production would eventually have a massive 1108 performance run, but its namesake day has grown to mean something else entirely.

The play pins and needles has played London as recently as 2010.

Free but not, as blood still calls to many and few.
The price of wrath still abides, causing stow.
Now let go the dear is dear...
