The BeadSmith Beeswax makes sticky hands while working on your projects a thing of the past. No longer do you have to stop and wash a waxy coating off your hands before continuing your creation. This beeswax comes in a clear acrylic case, making it quick and easy to use. Simply lay your thread over the case and pull through one of the open slots to coat thread along the way. Repeat until the desired effect is reached. Use on thread, embroidery floss or jewelry cord. No more mess, no more waste! A clean and efficient method to condition your thread. Conditioning your thread not only strengthens it, but it also reduces knotting and tangling, especially when hand sewing. By binding your threads, you also prevent ends from fraying. The beeswax will not stain or discolor your thread. The protective case also means you can stash this thread strengthener with all of your other crafting supplies and you don’t have to worry about it getting all over your other items. A great product for beaders, jewelry makers, quilters, seamstresses and DIY crafters.
