Knowing several of my pieces of beeswax had served me well for far too many years, I quickly ordered a package of Petites, the original morsels, when Mary Corbet announced their availability at Needle ‘n Thread.
I use beeswax when using cotton or silk strands to strengthen the threads when beading with them. Bugle beads especially have sharp edges and might cut the threads. Beading thread is already strengthened and doesn’t need beeswax applied.
My old beeswax didn’t have bloom – it was just dry and flaky. Aren’t these lovely and the packaging is perfect! Almost too pretty to use.

As always, Mary provides a wealth of information about her hand-crafted beeswax at https://shop.needlenthread.com/product/beeswax-petites
