This large block of locally-sourced Cornish beeswax weighs approximately 30 grams and supplied without any extra packaging.
 
100% natural - a great alternative to commercial 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.
