Tailoring Beeswax

100% pure beeswax

Traditionally used by tailors and makers to coat and strengthen hand sewing thread preventing knots and tangles.

Each tablet of wax comes in a tin and safely wrapped in a piece of calico, one of Mrs Mavens recycled toiles.

• Draw the thread through the beeswax block
• Place the waxed thread between two pieces of paper
• Press with a hot iron to soften and remove excess wax
• Especially useful for sewing on buttons, hand-worked buttonholes and whenever a strong thread is required.
