This is definitely not beeswax, but a paraffin dyed yellow. It's hard with no give or beeswax softness. Possibly a mix, but I doubt it. Other than that, I'm sure it's fine.

My old beeswax just like this one was nearly 40 years old. I know, I know, “but they found beeswax in Cleopatra’s tomb and it was still good,” but mine had seriously dried out. I read a tip after my old eyeballs started seriously straining to thread needles. The tip was to run the end of your thread across some beeswax before you try to thread a needle. Ohhh, that had to be the best sewing tip EVER, and I have sewn a lot in my lifetime. I am thankful for that tip every single time I sit down to sew.

(1) I always do hand sewing with this thread wax! It keeps thread from twisting up and misbehaving. Sewing WITHOUT thread wax is a nightmare. Sewing with it the thread is easy to control and makes consistently good stitches.(2) Because the wax can dry out over time when not in use, I store it in a small plastic container to keep the wax fresh. Works best that way.

Un ottimo trucco per evitare che il filo si annodi durante il cucito. Le dimensioni sono ottime per l’utilizzo e l’involucro di plastica rende velocissimo il passaggio del filo!

I always tell my grandkids that "it's all about the tools", no matter the task, and this product proves that rule. I've recently returned to embroidery as a way to relax while exploring texture and color. Long ago I learned how to manage the potential tangles of embroidery thread as it works including holding the threaded needle loose and letting it unwind. Also helpful, though, is a touch of beeswax. This product seems to be the same as it always was with the same container allowing thread to slide through as it picks up a smidge of the beeswax. Works the way it always has which prevents any major time devoted to detangling thread and provides a reminder of how much I've always loved needlework.

I bought this over another thread conditioner because my grandmother only used this. She was a perfectionist quilter and only used the best. So, in learning to follow in her footsteps, I will only use what she did. Once I purchased this, I found threading my needle and ease of quilting to be much better than without. Hand quilters and hand sewists have been using beeswax forever. Why mess with a good thing.

Magnifico producto para facilitar la costura de las telas más gruesas. Y como trae una carcasa de plástico, no te manchas los dedos.El servicio también fue muy bueno, pues lo recibí muchos días antes de lo previsto. Lo recomiendo!

Wachsen ist die einfachste Methode ein Garn, das sich beim Nähen oder Sticken schillerlockenmäßig aufrollt, zu bändigen. Die Plastikhalterung ist prima; da kann man das Garn vorm Verarbeiten einfach an den Ausparungen durchziehen. Das Garnwachs kam jetzt direkt aus Amerika, dafür war es schnell da. Trotzdem frag ich mich, warum es keine Angebote zumindest aus Europa gibt, geschweige Deutschland.

You know how when you hand sew, the thread often gets tangled, snarled, or knotted up? Beeswax can prevent this from happening! After you thread your needle and knot the thread, pull the thread through the wax several times, until it feels a bit like dental floss. Fold the thread into a scrap of muslin and press it with a warm iron. This melts the wax, fusing it with the thread. The result is stronger, stiffer thread, which is much less likely to give you problems. After trying this and seeing the difference it makes, I now refuse to hand sew without waxing my thread first. It takes an extra few minutes, but it's absolutely worth it.Note that this is actually a REFILL, so you'll need to buy regular version first. The regular beeswax comes in a round plastic cartridge with slits in the top and bottom. Pull the thread through the slits, so it cuts into the wax, coating the thread. You can open the container to rotate the wax, and once it's completely unusable, buy this refill to replace the wax.Just be cautious about ordering beeswax in the summertime! When I ordered mine in May, it arrived soft and had clearly melted in its package en route. It didn't hurt anything---I left it in an air-conditioned room until it hardened again. It kept its shape, so no harm was done. But if it got really hot in the back of a UPS truck, the wax might melt completely, in which case it wouldn't fit into the cartridge.Five stars and strongly recommended for anyone who sews.

It works great for stiffening thread before hand sewing. This is what my mother used and her mother who was a professional costume designer for Western Costume in Hollywood. They made the costumes for the movie industry and Grams worked directly under Ms Edith Head. I learned a lot of tricks for designing and making outfits from her. The most important were little things like this beeswax. Incredible how something so simple can make a job so much easier.The only thing I wonder though is if this is real beeswax. I was a beekeeper and used the wax to make beeswax candles. Beeswax has a distinct smell and this stuff doesn't smell like it at all. It smells like a regular paraffin wax. Oh well. Still works and I'll still use it.
