Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is water-soluble thread wax used for in cross stitch and embroidery?

A: Water-soluble thread wax is used to condition embroidery floss and sewing thread before stitching. It coats the thread fibres to reduce friction, prevent tangling and knotting, and make the thread glide smoothly through fabric. Because it is water-soluble, any wax residue on the finished project simply washes away with water, leaving no marks or stiffness behind.

Q: Is this thread wax safe to use on all types of fabric?

A: Yes — because this wax is water-soluble, it is safe to use on most fabrics including cotton, linen, and evenweave cross stitch fabric. Any residue will dissolve cleanly with a light rinse of water, so there is no risk of permanent staining or discolouration on your finished project.

Q: How many pieces come in a set?

A: This listing is available in a 3-piece set or a 5-piece set, giving you great value and ensuring you always have a spare wax block ready for your next craft project.

Q: Can I use this wax with silk or metallic embroidery thread?

A: Absolutely! Thread wax is especially beneficial for slippery threads like silk and delicate metallic floss, which tend to knot and fray more easily. Running these threads across the wax greatly improves their manageability and reduces breakage during stitching.
