Introducing our 'Fish Sticks' - all wax, no fishy smell!
 
Perfect for strengthening, protecting, and straightening your thread/ yarn when hand sewing or darning.
 
Handmade by us in our Cornish studio using locally-sourced beeswax.
 
A lovely, natural alternative to commercial thread conditioners.
 
Each tin contains two wax 'Fish Sticks'; each one weighs approx 10g.
 
Thread wax can help:
Lubricate thread/yarn to help prevent knots and tangles.
Allow thread/yarn to glide through fabrics more easily and prevent thread from shedding.
Straighten kinks in rescued or vintage thread/yarn.
Combine individual strands/plies together to create thicker yarn/thread
Be used to lubricate zips too!
 
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. 
 
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 placing the fish stick 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.
