Cobbler's Wax for Threads
This traditional cobbler’s wax is a time-honored blend of pine rosin, beeswax, and oil.
Used for centuries, its versatility has made it a staple in crafts like shoemaking, shipbuilding, and fly tying. I’ve also found it incredibly useful in the art of hairwork!
When applied to thread, this tacky wax blend adds just the right amount of grip to help securely hold your knots and hair bundles in place—before, during, and after braiding. There’s nothing worse than slipping knots unraveling your carefully balanced work.
To use: Simply draw your thread across the wax until you’ve applied the desired amount. Then run the thread through your fingers—your body heat will help the wax absorb smoothly into the fibers.
Each lovely 1.5 in (3.8 cm) round wax cake is hand-mixed and poured by me right at home, and comes in a clear notched container for easy application and storage. To keep yours fresh even longer, store it in the freezer between use.
