Tailor’s Beeswax from Merchant & Mills

Tailor's Beeswax
From Merchant & Mills, England

Pure beeswax potted with a lid.
Beeswax is traditionally used by tailors to strengthen thread when hand sewing buttonholes. Keep it by the sewing machine and pull your thread across it a couple of times before snipping off the thread end and it will be as easy as pie to get the stiff neat end through the machine needle.
