Well, as the widow of a beekeeper........altho' beeswax is great for rubbing on threads to strengthen them for buttons and beading...it was DH's advice that,on lace thread,the wax would become a dirt catcher. That is the only way it would hurt the threads. Sometimes I have put pins and needles into wax to make them work more smoothly.....great for sticky wooden drawer slides, too. Hope this helps, and this is only MHO! Smiles, BarbE Texas USA

I saw a block of beeswax that seemed quite inexpensive (GBP 1.25 for a block about 1cm x 2cm x 8cm ish!) I know that beeswax has something to do with cleaning pins, so I bought some. But can anyone tell me how I should use it, and how it doesn't spoil the lace!
