I learned to embroider when I was a kid, when everyone was really into cross stitch (remember the '80s?). Eventually, I migrated to surface embroidery, teaching myself with whatever I could get my hands on...read more

Four 100% beeswax morsels to include in your needlework or sewing tool kit, currently available in three sizes & themes:

1. Original morsels - four morsels, the size of boxed chocolates, in a variety of shapes

2. Hexies - the largest "cakes" in a honeycomb & bee theme

3. Strawberries & Daisies - Larger than the original morsels, smaller than the hexies, two of each

See photo #2 for all three sizes in one photo.

Beeswax is used for strengthening threads in goldwork and other techniques.

These petites are hand-crafted at Needle 'n Thread using locally sourced beeswax (specifically, we use the cap wax only) that's been quadruple filtered. It is naturally fragrant, easy to use, a deep golden color, and softens beautifully.

Unlike many commercially-produced wax products in the sewing industry, it is not prone to flaking.

The original petites are created in a variety of designs (not all are pictured) and delightfully boxed like chocolates, making them perfect for gift-giving or adding to your own tool box.

The hexies, due to their size, are presented in a small gift box with padding, but without the "chocolates" packaging (see photo #2).

Choose the type of petites from the drop-down menu below. If a type is not listed, it is currently out of stock. We restock the petites as we can. Contact mary (at) needlenthread (dot) com if your preference is sold out and we will let you know when they are restocked.
