If you’ve ever had thread tangle, knot, or snag mid-stitch, you’ll understand why a quality thread conditioner is worth having on hand. Used for centuries, beeswax remains one of the most effective and natural ways to prepare thread for hand sewing, embroidery, beading and button work.
SOHMO Australian Beeswax is unbleached, untreated and full of character – with each batch naturally varying in colour from soft gold to warm tan, depending on the bees’ forage. Our beeswax has a subtle honey scent, and a beautiful smooth, firm texture.
Why use beeswax when hand sewing?
Conditioning your thread with beeswax helps it glide more smoothly through fabric, reduces tangling, and minimises snagging. It also reinforces seams and button attachments, helping them hold up to everyday wear.
To use, simply hold the thread under your thumb and draw the thread across the surface of the wax.
Our beeswax comes in a compact sliding-lid metal tin, making it easy to store in your sewing kit or travel pouch. Whether you're a long-time embroiderer or just starting out with hand stitching, SOHMO beeswax is a small tool that brings ease to the task.
