A stitching friend gave me a tin of these when I was in Australia, from a farm she had visited and I loved them. Not only was it the first time I’d tried thread conditioner (an absolute game-changer, particularly with hand-dyed threads) but they were in a cute, easy to use shape! So I had to stock them in the shop for you!

To use, simply drag your thread once or twice along the body of the bee to lightly coat the thread in beeswax. The thread will be less likely to knot and tangle, gliding through the fabric more easily.

Each item listing comprises three small bees in a tiny tin, wrapped in a scrap of cotton fabric (print may vary).
