Beeswax is perfect for strengthening, protecting, and straightening your thread/ yarn when hand sewing or darning. 
 
Lubricates thread/yarn to help prevent knots and tangles.
Allows thread/yarn to glide through fabrics more easily and prevent thread from shedding.
Less likely to knot and tangle.
Will straighten kinks in rescued or vintage thread/yarn.
Use it to combine individual strands/plies together to create thicker yarn/thread
It can even be used to lubricate zips too!
 
This mini pot of pure beeswax weighs approximately 8 grams and is self contained in a little cardboard pot with lid which helps to keep the wax free of dust and dirt.
 
Each one is made with love and care by us here at MM HQ using locally-sourced Cornish beeswax.
 
100% natural - a great alternative to commericial thread conditioners.
 
To Use:
Simply run the thread or yarn between your thumb and the wax and with your other hand pull on the thread/yarn allowing it to glide along the beeswax. Repeat 2 or 3 times.  
 
Due to the nature of pure beeswax, it may become very hard if it is too cold. Before use warm the wax a little by opening the lid and placing the pot wax side down in the palm of your hand or in a sunny window for just a few minutes to slightly raise the temperature and make it more pliable.
