The 100% beeswax large rose is used to coat sewing thread when working metal thread/goldwork embroidery. It is especially good for sewing down abrasive metal threads such as bullions, jaceron, lizerine, pearl purl, purl threads and twists as the thread is less likely to snag on the thread and shred or break. Beeswax is also useful to coat crochet cotton when used for padding metal thread designs. The beeswax stiffens the crochet cotton so that when you sew down the crochet cotton padding you do not get uneven thickness to the padding caused by the tension of the stitches on unwaxed crochet cotton. Large Rose Size: 2 inches wide and ¾ inch thick
